Fergie's a moaning b*stard, he whinges about everything.

Just nipped over from the Cas board. FFS its a grass field when alls said and done, next the wendy ball managers will be complaining that the green stuff has been cut too short or its grown too long or maybe the wrong shade of green.

About time they looked into sorting that shocking excuse for a sporting playing field.

Thatto Heath Park has better turf than Wembley!

A poor pitch can make multi millionaire players miss penalty kicks!

Cost a fortune,took an age to build,crap stadium,crap pitch-another folly in the Millenium Dome mould.

This construction is doing rather well now!

I agree, to be honest. It is just a nice venue, of European build. It isn't the same hotbed of sporting passion that the old girl was.

wasnt it built by Aussies?

I would also agree. It doesn't have the magic of the old Wembley.

Another fergie rant.. :



oi alex,
you had nearlytwo and half hours to score a bleedin goal.


could be something to do with the team you picked.



your out and you know it,preasures on..

Surely the magic of the old Wembley was in large part down to its history. We used to venerate it because of the amazing events that had taken place there over the years.

No brand new stadium can hope to compete with that, but given some time the new Wembley will begin to wield some of that aura that comes only from tradition. It will also help if the Club England seats are given over to the public once the ten years (or whatever the lease term was) are up, as that half empty strip does detract from the atmosphere a little.

I think it's a beautiful stadium.

I love the new wembley, people bleet on about it being pants, but the rose tinted glasses are on. The veiws are better now, as is all the services like bars, food and even parking.

It's certainly better than that soulless hole better known as Twickenham.

but there is not a stinking sea of that the old one had, and you are not 30 miles from the pitch in an uncomfortable seat with a limited view, even in the best seats.

The old stadium was a joke and quite rightly has been destroyed.

every single thing about the new Wembley is superior to the old one. There is not one thing that I would change back to.

THis is true.

Wembley > Twickenham.
But for me, Cardiff > Wembley.

I'd agree with that

Cardiff > Wembley > Odsall > Twickenham

Wembley > Cardiff only slightly.

Wembley is a fantastic stadium and is 100% better than the old Wembley for everything other than the nostalgia/history factor.

Cardiff is great also.

Twickenham is poor. We go every year so ended up in the Huddersfield end. It was without a doubt the worst atmosphere at a final i've ever been to.
