The English FA has issued a guarantee that all proceeds from the Wembley sale will be used to fund grassroots football.
Lets hope they a true to their word. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

The FA are selling the family silverware and yet barely a whimper from football fans in England. Just goes to show how much the premier league has damaged the game in England. Could you imagine the uproar if the GAA announced it was selling Croker. There'd be hell to pay. ------------- "One of the dominant facts in English life during the past three quarters of a century has been the decay of ability in the ruling class." Orwell, 1942. |

Would it not be becuase a lot of people aren't fans of the "New Wembley" ? I've always felt they should have just done what the Germans did with the Olympicstadion in Berlin and just refurbished Wembley rather than building a new one.

An absolutely fine specimen of a stadium. Gotta hand it to the Germans. ------------- "Smalling and Jones.... have the potential to be the PL’s best ever pairing in my opinion." - SlurAlex |

Very strange decision to sell the stadium? Surprised the government hasn't stepped in on historical and cultural grounds - I presume it's been sold at a loss and that public money was used to pay for some of it? ------------- Romario 2016: And the ticket mafia gets caught!

I believe the FA didn't own the old stadium, so don't see the big deal in selling it. -------------  YOUR 3 IN A ROW LEAGUE CHAMPIONS |

Strange posts in this thread. £900 million and the FA keep the Club Wembley revenues, all cup finals to play there and England will still play there except the friendly/qualifier dates in August/September rent free. I dare say the FA will be pissing their pants at this, dare say been on a massive piss up since it was announced. Great deal for the FA. Great deal for England fans as the venue will have to be somewhere else in August/September. And Wembley will hardly be used anyways as Jaguars have got a long-term on to play games at Spurs' new stadium. Jaguars trying to create a brand as 'The NFL team in England' is all it is.

Jaguars don't have a deal with Spurs the NFL do. Jags have a deal to play in London ------------- Eamonn Dunphy:"I'll tell you who wrote it, Rod Liddle, he's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one". Bill O'Herlihy: Ah ye can't be saying that now Eamonn |

It's Sep - Dec I'm pretty sure, ie regular NFL season. It's Kahn trying to move his team to London, 8-11 games per season, not just the one or two.

Do the new owners have naming rights to the stadium? I can’t imagine it would go down well with fans going to the JP Morgan dome! ------------- |

There has been an existing naming rights deal in place with "EE" for a while.

According to reports the sale of Wembley may not happen because of bitter divisions between the English FA hierarchy and grass roots counterparts. ------------- Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world |

I think in the long term it was good that it wasnt sold from the FA's point of view. It's great to get money in and keep the 300m hospitality rights but to lose a national stadium where cup semi finals and finals are also played at would have had a huge back lash in the coming years. |

Opposition which caused the £600m sale of Wembley to collapse is "bizarre" and led by "old men", says ex-Football Association chairman Greg Dyke.
