[LNB] "Potential England 2018 host cities will deliver their final bid submissions to us in November and we fully expect the stadium to be one of those included as a potential host venue for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bid."[LNB] The plans submitted also include a new club museum and 434 new homes.
