2006 FA Cup final to be staged at Cardiff!

In the papers this morning they reckoned Bon Jovi and Take That in June would have to be postponed as well, if Wembley aint gonna be ready for the cup final or either of Englands warm up games the I'd imagine a massive concert isnt gonna take place either as they need to hold 2 or 3 smaller events beforehand just to get their safety certificate.

Hell the fa wont even commit to holding the community shield there yet :eek:

I bet multiplex wished they hadnt taken this fixed price contract now! cos they were gonna lose money on it anyway without the £1 million per week penalty.
 
I don't think Multiplex have made a penny out the contract iirc. The stadium will be great when it's built and I don't think we have paid over the odds. Any large project in central London is going to cost a lot of money. It's a shame it's not ready for the final, but it will be worth the wait.

Wonder how much truth there is to that since on the BBC Site

It has also faced penalty payments of £120,000 a day since 31 January for not completing the stadium.

The total penalty payments it might face are capped at £14m

I dont understand what went wrong.

Paying the London builders too much.
Poor management.
Dodgy fat cats.
Employing foreign workers.
Building it in London and being charged double or triple. < thats the one

Whatever happens, we'll never know the real reasons.
BUT, one of my brothers, a friend or 2 (3+) & stuff I've heard elsewhere & on the radio all point to that fact.
Multiplex, as every other organisation would do, tendered for & took on the project, even though their hands were full with other projects, can't blame them for that. They won the project & then looked at reducing costs once it was under way, one way of doing that is cheaper labour which is in abundance in the London area now.
That's a fair gamble which they lost due to the lack of enthusiasm which cheap labour (not bad quality labour) can bring. They won't lose money on the project but will get an iffy name over here now, but I reckon their time was up anyway:)
 
Foreign workers are not a reason for such a project to go wrong.

The Athens Olympics were mostly built by foreign labour, and that worked out just fine, despite the predictions of all western media :p
 
Am I the only one who thinks the new Wembley looks stupid.. what is that big curved thing supposed to be anyway, a handle to pick it up or something?
 
New Wembley was deemed a fiasco from the very beginning :)
Infact, anything the FA seem to get involved in ends in a fiasco or farse.

Didn't they hire someone high-profile from the Millenium Dome project?

LOL tbh :D
