Is Wembley fit for purpose ?

[give it to gordon]

If this picture is true than its bloody embarrassing that our national stadium is so poorly managed. How the hell did so many fans get in with flairs ? If its a fake picture than mods please delete this

Wembley spokesman says "It was just kids having fun. Anyway, what about City".

There was lots of smoke visible on the television at the start of the second half so it may well be genuine.

It was, they showed it VERY briefly

Doubtless to be used as an excuse for a "Wembley of the North"

What was their pitch invasion like.
Was it better than ours.

I like Wembley except it’s an arse to get too, also the corporate section all empty in the second half as everyone is having there caviar and wine in the restaurants isn’t a good look.

It fulfils the brief of being a huge stadium for cup finals and international matches.

It’s utterly soulless now though and once you lose the novelty factor of playing there, it becomes more and more of a chore to make the effort to go there.

I still go for finals, but semis and community shields can do one.

Just a huge corporate bowl, with an arch that can change colours.

I think the pitch invaders not just getting on the pitch but being left completely alone for over a minute on the pitch before anybody even thought about trying to get them off was the most damning thing. Even the players and management were looking puzzled as to why nobody was after them. That's an immense security risk and I suspect they'll be severe punishment for that.

Just be thankful the dippers, Who shamefully didn't even qualify for the tournament, weren't involved in this final, with how easy it is to get into wembley without a ticket it would have been complete and utter carnage that would have made Paris look dignified.

The security deployed in and around that stadium is a joke. Remember that Euro final between England and Italy? Embarrassing. Also, I'm sure the same invader got on TWICE during one of our finals (the Watford game? L.
