2018 World Cup: FIFA inspection of England's facilities ends: Closing statements; Andy Anson (England 2018 Chief Executive) press conference SOT - I hope you've enjoyed your time with us.

Our visits to some of England's stadiums such as Old Trafford, St James' Park, Stadium of Light, City of Manchester and Wembley also demonstrated something else: That many elements of our proposals are in place and with some small adaptations would be competition ready.
