Wembley Stadium

Freddie Mercury sure must've looked small from the last row of Wembley stadium.

wembley stadium is now being pulled down, to be turned into a supermark...no hang on its going to be redevloped as a new stadiu...oops that fell through, back to the supermarket oh...heres some more money we can build that new national stadium after all!.....oh fuck lets build the new wembley in...cardiff.

I saw Bon Jovi there (the second to last ever show held at Wembley). I am unashamed to say it was great, and the best show I've ever been to.

Jel, is that the one where JBJ tagged on the extra lyrics to the end of Always? "Through the wind, through the snow, through the durrr-i- vin rain".......i saw that shit on video, shit was adrenaline......I back you up, JBJ brings it live.

Never been to a gig there, though I have been to a football match there - that's what it's best known for.

Hmmm, Wembley Stadium. Marvellous. Isn't it? Hmmm. White Horse final. Stanley Matthews. Jumpers for Goalposts cos the Jocks pulled 'em down.

What's that? Autoglass Trophy Final. Stockport versus Port Vale. Memories flooding back. T'riffic. Stam Boardman in jingo-istc pre match routine. Ooh-Ah Van der Laan.

er....over to Motty.

also, as any fule kno the proper pronunciation for Wembley is "Wem- ber-leeeeeee".

I have been to Wembley Stadium about five times, all when I was eight or nine years old and all for Schoolboy International football matches! As well as the proper matches (played by boys in their mid- teens I suppose) they also matches for us ickle kids where they put ickle goals at the each side of the pitch (like for the ones used for five-a-side) and played these games cross-ways, there was a demonstration of Super Skills (this was a scheme to train kids to play better football - I assume - by heading the ball fifty times in succession and other e.g.s of "ball control"), there was also the Royal Marine band and at half time there was Community Singing with Ed "Stewpot" Stewart (Pack up Yr Troubles! Hi Ho Silver Lining! etc etc). I only remember one match when England THRASHED Holland 7-1.

I only remember one match when England THRASHED Holland 7-1.

That wouldn't be Feb/Mar '82, would it? I was supposed to go to that but was off school with tonsilitis when the tickets were given out.

My only visit: England 6-0 Luxembourg, Euro qualifiers, Sept '99.

My only visit was a playoff final about five or six years ago. Bristol Rovers lost 2-1 to Huddersfield. If only Marcus Stewart's last minute shot had gone in off the post instead of coming back out. Then we might have won and gone up and not have to sell him and consolidated in the First Division and...oh, sorry, I didn't know you had to get off this early...
