What a cool weekend. A day out at the magnificent new Wembley stadium on Saturday and a roast dinner whilst watching the town on tv( couldn't afford to go to Lincoln after the trip to London).

What did you make of Wembley?

Were the prices for food/drink especially bad? Read a report in the paper that they were charging £5 for burgers :shock:

My mate went, he said a packet of crisps was £1.50! They're a rip of at 40p

The whole place just makes you walk around open mouthed. From the minute you step out of the tube station at Wembley Park staight out on to Wembley way your spine starts to tingle. :shock:  :shock: Yes the food was a bit expensive,but hey! it is London after all.

i went up to wembley too.

still the same shit-pit around the ground but inside it's proper nice. escalators up to the top tier and then a cool £3.50 for a pint of what i can only imagine was carlsberg. there was an open air balcony looking out over wembley way to enjoy the pint on (though it was freezing out there), and they had big plasma screens all over the concourse showing goals n stuff. it looked a bit plastic in the "arena" section, but a nice amount of leg room and good view no matter where you are.

they didn't actually sell burgers there, but it was £4 for a hot dog.

And £4.20 for a Pizza Baguette... And £1.80 for a bottle of water which had to be put in a fucking plastic cup.

I went, the prices, like most things, angered me much. Missed most the footy as was enjoying looking at the stadium too much.

I found it very strange to watch the footy from the 5th tier.

I thought the stadium was properly amazing, lifts escaltors TV etc, the service was dog shit and the shit they served as food wasn't worth the card board it was served in. Good day though.

Strewth Bazza !

Pizza Baguette does sound lush though.

I thought Wembley looked amazing on the tele.

The Merlin yesterday was better though


 :wink:

Im just on line trying to up my pics from sat, stadium is amazing but need to get people who speak english to serve and actually serve beer - 25 minute wait for a beer at half time, then they stop serving!

Outside needs doing up big time.

Anyone else notice the hand dryers? Proper ace, I cant believe that was the thing that I noticed most!

Ground will keep noise in

Post them up here then Ash me old mate !

Um will try and work out how again!

Photobucket mate

you know it makes sense

You know im shit!

Ash, am i right in thinking that you let houses? or something along those lines?

I went - the stadium is fantastic. The food is over-priced, but who expected anything different?

One "fan" in one of the sunday rags complained about the price of the programme... Which was only £3 and in fairness their are more expensive!

I cannot wait to attend a sellout game - it will be magnificant.

:D  :D

What a great day yesterday

Yes mate, How did you get that from im shit

Errrrrrrrr i didn't i can remember older posts to do with house business.

Just thought that its funny that you can sort out house lettings etc but can't upload photo's.  :mrgreen:

They only had one female security person at a gate causing huge great ques for us girls to get searched and little girls being seperated from their fathers in the process. I hope they adrress that issue.

Whilst waiting for me to be searched my boyfriend witnessed security taking the sticks out of kids flags which was a little harsh i think, and taking bottle tops off of all coke bottles etc... which is pointless if someone is gonna throw something im sure a coin would hurt more.

Coffee machine sucked, Toilets were ace, ground amazing!

Good point. But I wasnt going to learn much from BBCs at dorcan was I mate?

It sounds nice, but it's like calling smoky bacon crisps, oak wood fired smoked pancetta and roasted garlic crispy potato bites.

It was crap, my dog could puke an equally appetising meal. It should have been called, 7" x 3" cold dry piece of faux bread with red and white stuff with green bits that tastes like air and makes the bread a bit soggy in the middle.

Excellent summary I can almost taste it!
