Is Wembley a Waste of Money?

Question

I think it is.

Answer 1

The best thing that they could have done is to take the England team on the road for every home international. With so many world class stadiums in the UK I think it would have been better to give local fans the opportunity to see their national team at their local stadium. Wembley is a waste of money because it is over budget, over time and will be under used. Also, it is in a part of London that is a craphole, sorry, but the borough of Brent is the sweaty armpit of humanity. If we really needed a National Stadium couldn't we have built it in a part of the UK that we would be proud to show off to the world? The Millenium Dumb, I mean Dome, would have been better purely because their is a better view of the London skyline from there (although, the Borough of Bermondsey is the sweaty crotch of humanity!).

Answer 2

Spending 800 million pounds (1.6 billion U.S. dollars) on a stadium that will hold a handful of events... Yea, maybe a bit of a waste.

The new Giants Stadium (or the New Meadowlands Stadium) will cost $1.4 billion U.S. dollars (720 million pounds). And it will host only a few games a year too...

But everyone wants to see a sports monument, but the money could have better spent on other things... Feeding the hungry, creating jobs, etc,

Answer 3

its a disgrace that the national stadium was built in London 90 percent of the population wanted it built in the Midlands its so unfair that the Geordie's scousers etc should have to travel so far for a national game as usual people north of the watford gap loose out cos they don't really matter do they??

Answer 4

yup
