I find soccer fairy dull but I don't think they should flog the stadium off and surely it's worth more than half a billion. TBH though NFL is a much better game so I wouldn't be too distraught.

Definitely should not be sold

[ladybirder]

I'm not particularly a football fan but hate the thought it's going to sold. It's iconic. What next? Wimbledon? Lords?

[albaqwerty]

whoever thought it was a good idea to sell an iconic stadium needs their bumps felt.
Am not a footie fan, but Wembley is steeped in history.

Would it become Fulham's home ground so he can sell Craven Cottage for housing?

There's talk up here about the Scotland setup moving along the M8 from Hampden to Murrayfield.

There goes the neighbourhood.

Take the money and build a new stadium oop norf somewhere.

[THECORBYLOON]

Did the English FA own the original Wembley Stadium?

Sell it to the Chinese or the t******s as they are colloquially known darn sarf. (^_*)

///Wembley is steeped in history///

The old Stadium maybe, not the present one.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wembley_Stadium
Wembley Stadium is a football stadium in Wembley, London, England, which opened in 2007, on the site of the original Wembley Stadium, which was demolished from 2002–2003

my boring house is older than that

Nothing is forever.
Everything and everybody has their price.
If the deal is a good one.........take it.

[douglas9401]

Virtually iconic then, held dear in English hearts as the site of triumph and disaster alike for decades.
Gladiatorial battles between men of, apparently, great talent and a very dodgy idea of what constitutes a good haircut along with a complete disregard for the rules on their side but a penchant for bleating like sheep in a slaughterhouse when opponents try the same.

[woofgang]

for just over 1 decade.......

[ladybirder]

It doesn't have to be old to be iconic.
