    they were given to local residents and staff.

    Wembley looked great but it still needed a few improvements.

    Here were a few observations:

    Mark Bright (remember him?) scored the first goal at the new wembley

    Seats were comfortable, loads of public toilets.

    Well sign posted, so seats once in the ground were easy to find.

    The stadium looks nice and healthy, biggest ground i've seen.

    Organisation is a worry as the entrance we had to go in lost their keys and no one had any idea what to do.

    The staff didn't seem to know the stadium at all when we asked for directions there weren't certain.

    Some of the seats were still dusty from the building work.

    The canteen had a decent variety of food at premium prices (as expected really) but the service was very slow and didn't anticipate the demand.

    The pitch seemed to cut up very easily, the ground staff were having their work cut out.

    also like to add that they gave enough tickets out for the intention to have 60,000 attending but infact i'd say there were no more then 20,000 today.

    i went noticed that - well summed up.
    bliset got 3/4? for soccer am team, and i think it was our stadium annoucer according to my dad.
    also the acoustics are extremely good and even th 20 000 that amde a bit of noise sounded good.
    also you cant go between levels :rant: - the middle tier had cusshioned seats with armrests and drink holders.

    nothing on the vic

    Was at Wembley yesterday, what a fantastic stadium was really very impressed.

    I then got the tube from Wembley to Seven Sisters to get to the game at White Hart Lane.

    Will try and get some pictures on here later

    Wembley looks magnificent. Ranks alongside SJP and The Emirates - the best two British stadiums currently.

    SJP looks fine on three sides. Shame about the small bit.

    3? 2 you mean.

    also that **** simon jordan played and 'scored' - it was an own goal really - not him
