I think we could make a good bid alone.

There is just unbelievable interest and the support of the fans throughout Euro 2004 has been very moving.

I have literally thousands of requests for tickets for the quarter-final. We expect about 1,200 people for the match against Russia but the demand for quarter-final tickets is huge.

We will discuss this issue with the state and if we agree to go ahead we will do it, but this time on our own.
