LOL! spit and sawdust. the whole f***ing place could fall down in a stiff breeze given the amout of cutbacks that multiplex has made on production.

[Benitez]

Its not even going to be ready for the community shield apparently!

 

Millennium stadium cost half the price of that place, and was finished on time, and is a superb stadium, what the fec is going on with Wembley!

cf. with G14 thread. How f***ing incompentent are these people?

And let's not forget that The Millenium Stadium was built right in the centre of a capital city, and was finished on time.

Sh*te stadium, should have been built near the midlands by some properly skilled people not some southern chav pounces!

Why didn't the FA just lease Arsenal's new stadium for the handful of games they play in a season?

[Cobs]

Wembley looks quite good in comparison to some of these feck ups...

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

still, at 3/4 bn (and rising) it's a veritable bargain

the price isn't rising

the price to the FA isn't rising. it's just that multiplex are haemorrhaging money.

Crappy Ground. Crappy Location. Crappy Workers. Built for tossers by tossers.

 

Should have been in the midlands - not much of a shock that Rip-off London has taken the costs through the roof.

 

National Disgrace.

 

Should never, ever have been built in London

 

I reckon they should knock it all down and start again in the Midlands

Has someone put the mockers on Wembley?

 

The building of the new Wembley has suffered a further setback after defects were detected in the stadium's sewer pipes. Work to rectify the problems could take up to eight months

it's not mockers, it's called cutting corners.

The section of the roof where the incident happened was being investigated to find out what caused the 50-tonne steel rafter to move

I'm going to hazard a guess at gravity.

Makes you wonder if the contractors got good odds at the bookies for the stadium not being ready this calendar year - let alone for the Cup Final?

 

Better book the Millenium Stadium for next season's Lge Cup Final now...

Beautiful summation.

[Paul_LFC]

Bloody hell at this rate, next years FA Cup Final looks unlikely too.
