We've all been to Wembley - you can't seriously think that our new stadium won't make it look second rate?
How could they do that though when the stands and podiums havent been built to cater for it?Wouldn’t be suprised If they changed the pitch at Wembley for something similar to ours... they have done so many modifications to the ground since it’s been built they would look at that too

The small number of events at Wembley mean a grass pitch is absolutely fine.
If the Jags owner wants to control his own stadium in the UK potentially for his team then Wembley is his only choice.
This might be a consolation prize - Queen's Park are looking to sell Hampden Park and the SFA are unsure about taking it on: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/footbal...-remain-scotlands-football-ground-says-craig/
The Fa are missing one big thing here, once you sell your largest asset its a slippery slope, yeh they might get 500m off the bat, but once its sold its sold, that sit, no going back.
Do they need it though?
They could conceivably turn the cup finals and EMNT home games into touring games and “sell” them around UK stadiums for a fee and a cut of merchandising/concessions.
