No, honestly!
They've apparently put themselves forward as one of the 12 cities to host games at Euro 2012, assuming Italy get it (which seems to be pretty much assumed from all I can find on it). The plan would apparently allow us to build the new stadium that we have been wanting to for so long, somewhere near the airport I think.
Would be great to a) have a new stadio (and one that is not made out of meccano!) and b) imagine it is good enough to host top class international fixtures. Having a good stadium would have to mean the infrastructure was there to back it up, which hopefully means city council backing and funding.
In other news, the VeneziaMestre 1987 Ultras have announced they are quitting the curva, but remain dedicated to the team - sounds like the curva will be half empty again for the game against Lucchese, but hopefully the support for the team will be resounding enough to spur the players on!

Makes sense if 12 cities are needed that Venezia is one of them. This looks like Scotland's plan to increase the finals to 24 teams could be on the cards.
wow, exciting stuff.
get yourself over there with some drunken scotsmen and fill the curva, see if that helps sort things out...
I reckon it could be a real coup for Venice to get included on the stadium list and add prestige to the bid.
In addition, if England happen to qualify and are drawn to play there what better way to ensure some of their thuggish followers end up drifting out to sea? Arra! Arra!
