Went to see them play last night,my first time at the new wembley stadium i must say i was not impressed the building did nothing for me. :( , Or with the way our lot played.
what were you expecting the building to do for you? make tea, perhaps? ;) ;D ;D ;D
At least the Spurs man knocked a few in. ;D ;D ;D
Thanks for your thoughts on the new Wembley Stadium. My family history is/was connected to THE Wembley Stadium, when it belonged to Pages Estate.................qahtan
Went there to see the Barbars v England - I was impressed but then again I am used to Twickenam which is a bit of a monstrosity.
Really easy to get drink, nice bars etc
I thought it was ugly compared to the Emirates stadium it looked too industrial, probably that was done deliberately to blend in with its surroundings after all it is in the middle of what looked like a retail park.After paying £5 for a program and a £1 extra t put in a bag,it would have been nice if it made tea,cos at them prices i could not afford a bloody cuppa.
Off hand I can't remember the details but when Wembley Estate was sold back on the 1800s it went for 37.000 pounds, and back then there was talk of a link from there to Paris.
The Page brother that made the sale was heavily into debt because of drink. qahtan
Qahtan are you that old ?
Duke ;D
Ha ha,,,, No but I found most of this out doing Genealogy.......

I like the new Wembley... that said there's nothing wroing with the emirates that you couldn't solve with a few tons of dynamite and a high-powered sniper rifle... I think I'm with CK on this one

Nah!yud miss. ::) ;D ;D
I make CC bang on, where's the suicide bombers when you want one. :o :-X ;D ;D ;D
I don't understand it. You pay all that money to watch kids kick a ball about within shouting distance of my allotment then just moan.
At least the tea is free in my hut.
Next time me lad drags me to wembley i will leave him there and come n have a(ya did say its free?) brew with you in ya hut Eristic as I'm sure ya hut and its surroundings will more pleasing to the eye. :)
Everyone welcome.
Next time Froglegs, I'll have your ticket and go with your lad and you can go and have a cuppa. ;D ;D ;D
Last time I went to Wembley Stadium, it was to see the England v Scotland game a few years back (and we flipping lost) but I do indeed miss the look of the 'ol twin towers. Am I the only one who doesn't see the point in the great metal arch structure across the top?
the great metal arch is supporting the roof!!
