[Albion] Wembley a Disappointment

[drew]

Nothing about Wembley makes me think it was worth rebuilding. I prefer the Millennium stadium frankly, and that cost a tiny fraction of Wembley to build. If we had to have a national stadium, it should have been built in or near Coventry. It would have cost about a quarter of what it did, regenerated an entire city, and would have been far more central (with a nod to the more populated south east of the country).

If the mortgage had been manageable, the pressure to play semi finals there would have diminished as would the need for quite so many corporate seats.

And it's not as if London needs Wembley is it? If you include Twickenham, it already has four other rebuilt all seater stadiums seating over 55,000 with Chelsea potentially adding another soon.

At the time it was built there was only Emirates as another stadium and that only opened in the preceding year. As for Twickenham, can you imagine the problems of dealing with the RFU and the chip they have on their shoulder about playing second fiddle to football. . Sorry but why on earth does Coventry deserve regeneration with the national stadium of our national sport!

National stadia should be in the capital.
