The new home of football

Went to the community day on Saturday at the newly finished Wembley stadium. Awesome place! Got to see the first goal scored there :-)

The inside, where all the food places are, is a bit grey and drab, although they have named all the bars after special events throughout Wembley's history, like the 1971 Cup - no bias there eh? :-)

Once you're in the bowl though, wow! 90,000 seats all looking down on a lush pitch. Just imagine what this'll be like on a cup final day!

Apparently only 20-30 thousand people turned instead of the expected 60,000. Still, I was one of them!
