the first thing i noticed was on the old stadium there was terracing outside all around the ground where supporters all converged with bands playing around the place, no atmosphere at all outside the new stadium. also i really missed the marching bands we had in the old stadium, i thought the entertainment was rubbish. nowhere near the atmosphere of the old stadium inside, but having the middle tier empty doesn't help, and the music during the lap of honour just drowns out the crowd noise.

Well, I would take Cardiff back any day. Wembley stadium is large and impressive, the views are good etc, but it does lack a bit of soul. What I miss though, is the pre and post match atmosphere in Cardiff. There's nothing around Wembley really, except a few very, very overcrowded pubs and the odd forecourt. I've now been to CC finals at Old Wembley, New Wembley, Murrayfield, Twickenham and Cardiff, and in all honesty Cardiff is miles ahead as a match-day experience.

and worst of all "Olympic Way". WTF is Olympic Way?
It was my wifes first visit and she loved it, but like people who never went to central park, there's nothing to compare it too.
Lots of space in the seats though was good. Luxury for someone who is 6'3".'"
It has been called "Olympic Way" since it was built in 1948. It is usually called "Wembley Way" but that isn't, strictly speaking, the correct name. So you can't blame the New Wembley development for that one. |

Even before I hit the floor I thought I'd broken my jaw, but the cheekbone was so depressed I couldn't move it

Oh well I'll blame Ritchie Mathers instead.
In all seriousness I never knew that. |

I have much knowledge.
Almost none of it is actually any use. |
