Default Wembley stadium

When is it supposed to be ready now? I've seen that someone is playing there this year that I wouldn't mind taking my wife to see but wondered if it'd be ready in time

Well apparently steelworkers have dowmed tools as their not getting paid.......

They can build stadiums in ither countries that look more impressive at a fraction of the cost and time....why

Roo

To answer your question ....no kin idea I don't think anyone has a realistic grasp of that. Farce.

Just as I thought. Nobody seems to know but they are taking booking for artists playing there.

2012 I reckon. Don't worry though you can still come and play your big matches in the Millenium stadium.

Check the bookies to see if the construction workers are laying any bets on completion time!

The millenium stadium should be the official national football stadium.

OK, it's in wales but they play in the 'english' league anyway.

It's a great stadium and we don't need another.

The Wembley development has been a farce. The sad thing is, it's been at our expense.

Last date I heard was 2007, but at this rate the first parts constructed will need rennovating before they finish the reast

I did hear that they're going to struggle to have next years FA Cup final held there now.

Dracoro, there are 3 welsh teams that play in the English league and I dont even agree with that, especially when they play in their own Welsh Cup.... We dont ban them from the English Cup - more commonly known as the League Cup, Carling Cup, Littlewoods Cup, Rumbelows Cup etc etc....

Not so anymore, Wrexham, Swansea and Cardiff are not allowed to enter the Welsh Cup. Interestingly until their merger with TNS, Oswestry Town (Shropshire) played in the Welsh League and entered the Welsh Cup.

I know that all the pre-cast concrete for Wembley was stored on a site in the East Midlands. So was able to have a bet with a colleague it wouldn't be finished in time!

However all the concrete has now left that site so they are getting on with it!

It was all done at Bell and Websters in Grantham to my knowledge, as was the Coventry new stadium. The Grass was also grown for Wembley in Barkston 2 miles from Grantham as its grown for all the prem clubs too
