So it turns out the shortlist for UK City of Football has been whittled down to three candidates - Portsmouth, Manchester & Nottingham.
Pleased to see Nottingham up for this award, just goes to show at least there's one city in the East Midlands doing things the right way

Living in Manchester, I have to say the grassroots stuff here is feckin superb. They are pumping a lot into it. Man City have invested heavily in youth development and non league football, largely for the benefit of the community and not the club. Would be very surprised if Manc didn't win this. Great to see Nottingham up there, though. Portsmouth can suck a scrote.

Have to agree with SHH, would be nice if we won it, but I just cannot see past Manchester winning it, as everything in England with Football from the clubs to the media seem to be focussed on Manchester.

Congrats to Nottingham, Portsmouth and my own fair city. While grass roots football in manchester is pretty well catered for I hope someone else gets it as City allegedly gutted the girls teams where I live as they hoovered up all the talented girls when it started to look like the womens game would take up big time.

Would be nice to see something awarded to a different area of the country for a change. It's not all about Manc/Brum and particularly, London. In general terms, it would be far more interesting for tourists in particular to have attractions spread across what is a small country rather than crammed into certain areas, Wembley being the obvious example.
