Wembley (London)

Being a Manchester United supporter and season ticket holder I visited Wembley twice last season. Once for the Carling Cup Final (A good day) and the other was for the F.A. Cup Semi Final (A not so good day). I'm glad I got to visit it twice because it gave me a chance to change my opinion on it. Not like it actually changed it much! For the many years that us football fans waited in anticipation for the new Wembley Stadium I really don't see what all the fuss is about. My first experience on Carling Cup Final day! We arrived in London about 2 and half hours to kick off and we spent most of that time in traffic trying to get to the stadium. We took ...  Read the complete review

Wembley is the king of all stadiums in this country, and is home to the national team, England. Situated in the London suberbs, this stadium has been rebuilt once since the original, and for about 4 years, their was no national stadium. When this stadium was opened, you could clearly see the arc from all cross London, and it a brilliant addition to the London picture. It is also the biggest stadium that this country has to offer, and not only that, there is a huge network of catering facilities in the concourse, which can become a little crowed as a result of the amount of people that are usually there. The only disadvantage to this is the fact that the food ...  Read the complete review

Went to my first game at the new Wembley last April to watch Rochdale vs Stockport in the Division 2 Play Off Final. It was a horrible day weather wise,pouring rain and also very windy. As we came into Wembley on the tube you could see the huge arch that goes across the stadium and you couldnt help but notice the size of the place,and that was from afar. Id been to the old Wembley before and that was an outdated,horrible,overpriced place to watch a football match for the spectator but the new Wembley is the total opposite. We did the walk down Wembley Way,saw the Bobby Moore statue and gazed up in awe of the people in Club Wembley in the ...  Read the complete review

Having never had the pleasure of visitng the old Wembley Stadium before its demolition, I won't be offering any words on how it has improved and the soul of the place compared to the old ground. However, having been to the new Wembley Stadium, I feel I am qualified enough to give an insight into the new ground. My one and only visit of the ground was for the League 1 play off final between my beloved Doncaster Rovers and the not so mighty anymore Leeds United. Now, naturally as we won the game, I am bound to have happy memories of Wembley, but this review is based purely on view, facilities and emotion generated. The first thing that strikes you on ...  Read the complete review

Wembley Stadium has long since been described as the home of football and the old stadium was one of the most famous in the world, however in 2000 the stadium was closed and it was anounced that in 2003 it would be demolished. It's not all doom and gloom though as work on the new Wembley stadium was also announced and it's this stadium that i shall be focusing my review on. Work began in 2003 and after £800 million and several delays the stadium was finally finished. Here's some info on the stadium: Can hold up to 90,000 people.(Making it the 2nd largest in Europe). Located in north west London, England. Most expensive stadium ever ...  Read the complete review
