Wembley

Last weekend I took my son to the new Wembley Stadium. The reason was to see Truro City play in the FA Vase final. Travelled up to London on the Saturday and had a night out with my big Dutch mate in Sudbury. You can catch his travels on his blog http://greyhound10.blogspot.com/

Anyway the new place is pretty good for a football stadium but I was expecting something a bit special for 750 million. All clean, shiney and new, lots of food outlets with nobody much buying anything because of the extortionalt costs of everything. £3.50 for chips, £5.00 for a burger and £8.50 for fish and chips. Took ages to find a programme as there waer no sellers of anything outside and I could only find 2 stalls selling them inside which were located adjacent to each other.


The only thing outside is the 20 foot statue of Bobby Moore.

Inside the stadium did not seem as big as I expected, it holds 90,000 people but seems smaller than the old place possibly due to the seating coming right to the pitch without the running track between the crowd and the playing surface.



I was a good dayout with Truro lifting the trophy to complete a treble of FA Vase, League champions and Cornwall Senior Cup.
