So there are reports that the FA have received a bid for £800 million for Wembley.

I've got to say I hope it isn't sold. An iconic part of footballing legacy and the home of English football for a century.

I hope it is.  The iconic part went (for me) when they re-vamped it and got rid of the twin towers.  Sell it, and share International matches and cup finals around the Country.



The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

Couldn't care less. It's now a monstrous corporate bowl. It is a good stadium, but it just represents the lop sided nature of football in this country, where all the wealth goes to the top. It's a massively expensive day out now to Wembley, so i'd be quite happy if play offs were somewhere smaller and more provincial. Besides, us Town fans have done Wembley to death.

As long as it's there and hosts football matches I don't care who owns it

Why not? The FA has just about knackered everything else football wise. Might as well put the whole lot out to tender to the highest bidder.

I'd rather England games were staged around the country anyways.

Yes sell it as its means nothing to me since the old Wembley was knocked down I agree it's just a coprate bowl of excrement, I've hated it ever since they started staging the FA cup semi finals there, for me when I think of the new Wembley I just think rip-off!  nothing to do with the fans anymore it's all about the money, so get it sold good riddance and throw in the Monarchy as well buy one get one free should do it.
