Is it just me or does anyone else detest the place? Its just there to rip the fans off IMO, £5 for a hotdog £6 for a beer, . even if we manage to make it there why can't we have the final at a big ground nearer to both sets of fans I.e villa park or old Trafford? I suspect the f.a are still trying to pay for the dump.

That dump is probably the greatest stadium in the world.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Good stadium when full or nearly full. Crap when under 40,000.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

No atmosphere though eh m8?  I've been in the allianz to see Bayern v Dortmund and Wembley will never beat that ever. Its a soulless cash cow designed from start to finish to rip the fan off,  the only one worse is the emirates at £80 a game.

Dont like it, built in a stupid place and as you walk up Wembley way it looks like a 60s built concrete multistory car park/office block ala being torn down in redevelopments in cities all round the country. Insides alright but not a touch on millenium stadium in Cardiff.

Well this is a strange 1!!! I love Wembley stadium. Why wouldnt i? Its my national stadium and the place of cup finals. Agreed for medeocre England qualifiers and low ttended games the atmosphere is $hite but thats hardly the stadiums fault is it? Also, the Emirates is quite possibly the best ground ive ever been to and the atmosphere was superb! Ans that includes Kamp Nou! Too many exclamation marks here i am just astounded!!!

They do that anyway I would like it better if we turn up for once and make a game of it lol.
The stadium is magnificent love the concourse but miss the twin towers

If  and after yesterday it's a big IF we get there even against Brizzle it will be well short of capacity a decent sized midland ground would do say Villa or Wolves.

Food prices at Wembley are for fools to pay.

I eat and drink en route to and from the game but then again I am super human I can go a full 90 mins without food and drink lol

Don't buy hotdogs and beers, nobody is making you! It's a definite improvement on most of the grounds on our annual circuit. Let's hope we have 49 league games this season instead if 48!

Agreed, last time we were there I parked at Gerrards Cross the 3 of us had a lovely 2 course lunch with drinks for a total £35 in an Italian restaurant then 10 min train ride to Wembley Station for £3 each, not a penny spent in or around the ground.

I love that we have a world class stadium but for me it is in the wrong place.  It should be on the northern outskirts of that there London, possibly just before the A1 ends.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Don't agree with policy of having to but tickets through Ticketmaster


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

Old Wembley was better !


And I thought Old Old Wembley (with standing) was even better!

Agree with you

What's wrong with allowing the participating clubs to sort out sales themselves rather than being obliged to have ticket distribution via a third party whose only remit is to rip fans off even more than is the case already for games staged at Wembley

Thought we were to the right! I was sat around the 18 yard line for both games and the 39 Steps etc were to our left. Which by my reckoning puts us on the right of the royal box - unless you go the full circuit the other way!

But we were at the opposite end to the last two occasions.

I saw your face and heard you call my name.
