Guest BlueBrett Posted 11 September 2012 Posted 11 September 2012 Can't see how it matters really. It's not like it is named after some British sporting icon of years gone by. Wembley is just a town in London..what the hell does that mean to anyone who doesn't live there?
AyewJoking Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Exactly what has Wembley got to do with football? If the name changes, does that mean England didnt win the World cup in 66 at Wembley? If they get a sponsor in, who cares??? unless you like hearing commentators/tv folk calling it Wembley. As long as the sponsor isnt Bradford and Bingley or microsoft who cares?
MooseBreath Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Like it makes even the slightest bit of difference. Do people still really give a shit about stupid stuff like this? Exactly this. Makes no difference whatsoever.
purpleronnie Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Not sure what the specific story about Wembley is on this occasion, but lets be honest, when they knocked it and the towers down*... wembley was dead, they should have sold it out then and there. *How did that happen - England, a country made up of people who fight for whats right, just let one of the greatest sporting stadiums in the world get bulldozed, im amazed that there werent people chained to the towers, the new wembley is an amazing stadium.. but, its not Wembley True...but not when it comes to football.
davieG Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 Having to resort to a sponsors name for Wembley just reflects on what a piss poor job the FA did with the new stadium, we already know that it delayed the Centre of Excellence at Burton for a number of years and I've no doubt it's affected the amount of money going to grass-roots football in this Country. I'm betting plenty of those running the FA who were party to the stadium FU are still feeding from the trough and with no discernible reduction in their remuneration probably awarded themselves bonuses..
lavrentis Posted 13 September 2012 Posted 13 September 2012 What's soulless about the new Wembley that wasn't about the old one? And I'm talking strictly architecturally, not your sentimental refusal to let go. Your country still won the world cup, that the building they did it in has been replaced doesn't kill the memory of that match. The Cardiff Arms Park has been long flattened but Gareth Edwards' great mudslide into the corner still happened, Arsenal occupy a brand new super stadium but the Invincibles still went a season unbeaten and the Gooners haven't forgotten purely because the stands have moved. There are new stadiums that are generic, cheap templates that are tacky and are dull; the KP is one of them - Wembley isn't. It may not have it's own history yet but neither did the old one at some point. This is the stadium of a new generation and older fans need to wind their necks in and let tomorrow's supporters embrace what is an absolutely stunning piece of architecture and make it their home. Your sig kind of sums it up for me. It's so true it's funny.
