Now who's wrecking the environment?
Damonski:
Football should have a TRO for 8 years :)
Budgie:
Why restrict it to 8 years? :twisted:
Let's face it, we don't get this sort of hype for the Olympics or Commonwealth Games and there are fare more people from the UK taking part in these events than the World Cup & they don't get anywhere near as much money for the hard work they put into getting there.
For the money the England team earn in a year we could have some world class training facilities around the UK instead of our world class athletes having to go to OZ or the US to do their training!
Wembley is another waste of money, why only a football field? It's not as if we are exactly lacking in football fields is it and yet our "National Sports Centre" at Crystal Palace is crying out for investment!
To give you some idea, we have something like eight Olympic size swimming pools in the UK. Austrailia has 13 in Sydney alone!
Each major city in the US has at least one Wembley sized stadium and they fill them every week, either for American Football or Baseball. How often is Wembley going to be used, if it's ever finished? :?
If we want to do well in international sporting events then stop building Wembley Stadiums and Millenium Domes and give us something that can be used by everyone to help find & train the best athletes the country, as a whole, has to offer, no matter what the sport!
If we are really that good at football then why do all our top clubs consist mainly of foreign players?
Steps off soap box :mrgreen:

I have never seen the attraction of either taking part or watching a bunch of doofus chasing a ball about.

There is probably a lot of people out there that don't see the attraction of taking a land rover to bits or playing in the mud and we certainly know a lot of them don't like us driving the byways, but instead of becoming like them and moaning because someone else wants to do something we don't really like, why don't we all become better than them and say each to there own and lets all get on with life. OMHO of course
