England back at Wembley

[BBK]

Heard the commentators during the first half saying this is the last time England will play "in the provinces" (their words) as they will go back to Wembley after this. Personally, I think this is very sad. Of course it will be nice to see England playing at Wembley, but personally I've found the rotation of grounds to be refreshing, and I think we've seen more supporters at the matches because of this. Crowds at Wembley were down to under 40k for friendlies, and the new Wembley will look completely empty with under 40k fans. Lets hope common sense prevails, but that would be the first time for the FA so unlikely.

I agree it has been refreshing that England were playing at regional grounds. It has given a chance to some fan liek kids to see England play when they would never get the chance to see them play at Wembley.

Why London should get all the internationals and cup finals etc?

I live in Wembley so I can't offer an unbiased opinion!

I can't wait to get in there TBH! The novelty will wear off after a while.

I completely agree with FireBlade about kids being able to see England play at a more local ground tho.

A lot of other International games/friendlies have been played in Arsenal's ground of late. Also in London. Brazil - Argentina etc'.

Are there no more England games until after the FA Cup Final? I thought that was going to be the first game.

There's the two away Euro qualifiers (Andorra and Israel) then there should be a friendly I think end of May/beginning of June. After that the next FIFA date is August, 22nd I think.

A national ground all the way for me but I don't know why they didn't play more at Fratton Park??
