I'd sell. Problem is I just don't trust the FA to spend the money wisely.

It’s like selling your inheritance?

Well, they are in England...

So is my house,I would not sell it and rent,,, the FAget subs, blar blar blar ,,, the long. Term affects will not good for English football

MrsGrey

Well, that a reason not to sell.

But that's not what you gave as the reason in your previous post, you suggested playing in other cities would prevent players aspiring to play for England.

Which I don't think it will.

Indeed
In a dream
As young boy
I would not like to go to another ground,other then a national stadium playing for my country.

And I can have more then 1 reason not sell it

MrsGrey

You can have as many reasons as you like.

As I said, I was responding to the one you gave.

imagelost

Also what is the benefit of selling

Not dreaming of away games then? ;wink

MrsGrey

But seriously - it will still BE the national stadium.

So your reason isn't valid.

Spain doesn't have a national stadium with internationals and cup finals played at various locations. Germany doesn't have a national stadium for internationals although cup finals are played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin.

Obviously their national teams have suffered because of it...........

Why don’t you answer this

MrsGrey

Clear a massive debt millstone, generate a one-off windfall of hundreds of millions of ££ for investment in football at all levels and (if done properly) still generate a large annual income through Club Wembley.

Although personally, I'm not that bothered.

Mrs g ;ok

;hmm
Doesn’t sway me,
Grass roots levels has to come from local government, the need for housing “London area” , building housing on any piece of land there get ther hands on!
I also know there already building sports sport centres in parks” which I didn’t think was aloud to happen” ect ect

I could go on,,,
The big wigs at FA should rent offices too!

Local government doesn't have the money which I'm guessing is why the FA want to raise cash themselves

Pearces_Left_Foot

The stadium will be paid off by 2024 according to the fa , it all depends on how well the money is spent long term might be better to keep it but I am a fan of England games been played around the country

IronHerb

The stadium is falling down. They are now fitting netting to the underside of the roof to prevent falling pieces of the roof falling onto the seats.

Slaven_Cups_His_Beard

Stadium is hardly falling down, the roof panels were incorrectly installed, it’s been known for years, it’s a safety precaution and they couldn’t do the work this year because of spurs being there

Vorselaarhammer

The FA has only owned Wembley for a total of 19 years...

800m to put back into grassroots football and further improve coach/st Georges etc would be well spent (if that's how they spend it...)

Also increases the chances of a NFL team based in LDN which I would like.

The FA can not/ will not be able to out bid land for housing to build football pitch’s
Local governments are already building sports centres in parka.
The FA are talking riddles are someone is making it up for them

I think it is quite a bit more complicated than this.

Is it just the finance stopping them?

Is the same land earmarked in the development plans in such a way that housing and football pitches are competing for the same land?

Genuine question - I'm out of touch with plannings regs these days.

And in any case - is it necessary (or desirable) to create lots of new pitches... wouldn't it be case of upgrading existing facilities.

Not sure what sports centres in parks has to do with it - I must be missing your point. Are you saying they are having to do it there because they can't acquire land on which to build new facilities?

imagelost

Well sport centres control the football pitches in the parks

imagelost

One given Park I know of,
Just a Park bottom NE corner
Is having a sports Center
It needs electric, water, gas and sawage.
