More doom and gloom on Blue Moon. :-(

OK, take it with a pinch of salt. A bit tongue in cheek. Etc.

I'm 99.9% sure it won't be. But that 00.1%(is that right) in me fears the worst.

In a nutshell. I'm hoping the new level 2 plans don't end up creating something similar to this.

Wembley tonight, just before the start of the 2nd half between England and Germany.

Level 2 deserted.

As for the seats either side of the players tunnel. I haven't got a clue what that area is called.(No Man's Land?)

I am certain that the clubs hierarchy has this one covered and if they weren't convinced that they could fill the stadium then the expansion plans would of been put on hold. Considering the state of the national game and it is near enough mid season then I am not surprised that it wasn't a complete sell out.
 
Didn't even have to show me the pic, I knew what you was going on about as its been happening at Club Wembley for awhile now.

It's shit and one of the reasons I'm so dissociated with my? Countries London sorry I meant national team.

Will this happen at Eastlands? Probably the more people go to Watch City for their corporate events.

Aslong as the real fan isn't excluded and we have an area to watch the match at a good price in a traditional way then I won't be complaining :)
 
I know there'll be a little patch of 201 which will be forever not blue - because our gang will be sat in it come hell or high water ;-)

It wasn't due to not selling out, Ray.

It was due to fans finishing their drinks, food, conversations, etc.

I appreciate they pay for the privilege, but look at the scene it's left.

Who'd have thought. The home of Football, is now nothing more than a posh canteen.

That is my second bollock dropped tonight totally misread that jrb. True it is sad that Wembley has been reduced to that but if the quality of football isn't there and the facilities are top notch then who can blame them.
 
I can't get my head round "ordinary" supporters leaving 5 mins before HT to "beat the queue" and getting back 5 mins late for the 2nd half so the corporate lot are well beyond my understanding.

The second level there is Club Wembley, it's the same when major games are being played too. Very expensive and not worth it, I was there for last seasons semi-final.
 
I've never understood why they insisted on having this huge section of corporate wankers right in the middle of the stadium at Wembley. If you have to, at least put it on the same side as the cameras so that people who couldn't get a ticket (not exactly an issue for this game admittedly) don't have to sit at home and look at all of pricks who got in for free not even watching the game. You could host the Champions League final at Wembley and it'd still look shit on TV as soon as they all go for their prawn sandwiches.
