You always come across as such a happy man.

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.


I disagree. You'd get more splitting up the lots, and selling them one Royal at a time.

* You could probably chuck in the relevant spouse and kids, so each multi-billionaire could have their own royal family


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.

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.
Agree.Tradition for me is key.

I am a traditionalist. I hate the PL, I hate the way the top clubs have turned the FA Cup into a Mickey Mouse competition with weak teams, I hate the way the game is being tinkered with over VAR just to pander to a US football type game scenario, I hate the way Sky is allowed to ruin our national game. The England set up has been crap for years, the FA could not manage a urine party in a public toilet ..... but .......

Wembley has gone, at least the one I liked from my childhood has. The architects’ dream house is a mismanaged replacement that has cost a fortune, some of it from me and you. So why not let the FA be a customer? Why not get the public money back and let the FA hire stadia across the country for England games? As long as the deal specifies certain circumstances where FA needs have priority I can see no problem.

Echo that RRC. At least games like the FA Trophy Final and lower league playoffs will be relieved of the (FA's) need (for them) to be played at Wembley

The FA Trophy (and Vase) final has always been at Wembley hasn't it (apart from when it got knocked down)?

Dunno Abdul. I think the forerunner, the Amateur Cup was, but not sure about the Trophy. But usually for those games the crowd rattles round in there.

Can't understand why anyone would prefer the old Wembley. It was crap. The seats were miles from pitch and very basic. The facilities were limited.

The new Wembley is vastly better. The view is superb from every seat, the catering is far superior and the toilets clean.

They could sell Wembley and use the money to build a new national stadium in the midlands.
