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.


Because it had history...because it was special....because by and large you had to work damn fking hard to get a game there...
Spurs play home games there, semi finals are played there FFS, aside from the "arch" its a soulless concrete bowl just like many other modern stadia.
I stood at the old Wembley yeas ago and watched games, i was lucky enough to see MY team run out there TWICE in 98...the twin towers, the dog track...completely iconic IMO.
I would ask any of the younger generation ie under 25 ...do they view Wembley as special ?
For anybody over 30 i doubt they feel any affinity with the place at all.

Spot on

I remember I went on one of  them tours at the old Wembley stadium.It was near dusk and just being there in the stadium was awe inspiring. So much history and magic.

Whatever people say about the old ground it had a nostalgia that could never be replaced or no money could be.The icing on the cake being that we won the world cup there.


One life,one love .

Don't enjoy the new Wembley, it's all wrong and has been reduced to a corporate statement. This is now the chance to literally bite the bloody hand off the geezer wanting to pay for it.

There's no aura or mystique about it anymore. There's no feeling of everything it used to be. Its the same as the Olympic stadium, in being that its a new building lump.

Take the games around the country (it works in other countries) and allow fans a cheaper way to see England play. Take games to the cities where people don't often get chance to see the national team play, and not having to fork out a small fortune for the privilege
