I've been lucky to have been to both stadium. I Liked the reception in Cardiff - great people, nice B&B right opposite the stadium, across the river. Handy for town centre, pubs, etc. Don't remember it being over-priced.
Wembley stuck in the middle of industrial estate, which is such an eyesore. So difficult to get in and out of and parking is so expensive. Concesions stands overpriced.
That's just my opinion. What about you guys?
Of course, OT for me!!

Yeah, that's a great point. Shame they don't think about the average punter and set lower prices for an already expensive (maybe rare for some) day out. I liked the great views from the lower tier at Wembley. Maybe if they'd seen sense and built a new national stadium somewhere else.....
That's why I prefer the overall 'experience' of Cardiff. Roof closed, superb noise levels. Cheap at the price, too!!

Wembley is in England which is where English matches and English finals should be hosted! I sat in 3rd tier Wembley for England vs Israel Euro 2008 qualifier we won 3-0 and the seats my dad and I had were amazing!

So, should we simply move Wembley stadium (cos I'm not saying the stadium alone is bad, just the whole experience) and stick it more centrally?

It seems we don't really care where the National teams play or where the FA or League Cup finals are played, do we? Maybe this sends out the message that we just love Old Trafford? I can't believe that only 5 people have bothered to vote on this. More people are interested in Cheryl Cole than Wembley, lol!!
