Please correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought the­ community shiled match was between the winners of the­ Premier league and the F A Cup. Eurosport are telling­ me that the game will be between Chelsea and Man Utd.­ on August 8th. I think a trip to the bookies is­ urgently needed. Hey Eurosport, what are the numbers­ for the lottery that week?

Why did they even "rebuild" Wembley anyway?­ They just totally ruined it.

I just can not believe the trouble that wembley has­ such a poor record with the turf used. You never hear­ of premiership or lower teams having to re-lay there­ turfs after only a few games. The other joke is how­ much the fa or us as supporters are having to pay for­ each time the pitch is re-layed. I think it only fair­ that due to the pitch quality being so poor the­ suppliers should be paying for the replacement turf.

Judging by their recent dismal display in the world cup­ finals I would imagine that the England v Hungary game­ should be also classed as a non football event - or at­ least the England side they are a bunch of overpaid,­ useless tossers!!

How come the Millenium Stadium never had this PROBLEM!

"There will be no non-football events held there­ until a Muse gig in September"

So where are they­ playing the Rugby League challenge cup final in August­ then? Come on yahoo get your facts right!

I worked at old stadium and we had lots of diffrent­ events there rugby american football wrestling even­ stun riders and the pitch held its own, in my opinion­ whats gone wrong is that the care and love the pitch­ had was all the staff that worked there wembley got­ gready so it sold us out and mainly you wembley use to­ be a for hire venue never was it owned by the FA it was­ owned by wembley plc which included stadium, arena,­ conferance center,and exhibtion halls. it should be­ shut down new pitch layed and new staff who no how to­ look after a peace of grass as a valuble asset the­ country can be proud off and come on england lets­ show the world we still have the one stadium every one­ wants to play on john p k­ ex security wcc

Laying a pitch composed of a mixture of Plastic &­ Natural Grass, is no problem for the experts!
The­ problem will be if they hire in a 'Cheapy -­ Cheapy' Company to do the laying, then it's­ back to Square One!!!!
The other possible problem will­ be if they do not train the Groundsmen the correct way­ to set the cutting blades, & how to actually cut­ this turf; then again you will be back to Square One­ yet again!!!! Remember Plastic Grass, does not grow, so­ if the Cutting Blades are set incorrectly, then you­ might as well move all the matches out to the Victoria­ Stadium in Gibraltar; where there is no grass what so­ ever!!! It's a Dried Mud & Gravil Pitch,­ however they do play successful football out there; the­ 'Mega Stars' do not have to take a dive &­ pretend to be injured, it's simply a case of­ ............ if you fall wrongly, then you will have­ skin injuries .......... but having said this, if the­ players play correctly & fairly, there is not only­ NO INJURIES, but you get to watch a really good game of­ Football!!!!

Do what the Welsh do at The Millenium Stadium, it's­ not perfect but it works!

It's high time The FA dropped Wembley for England­ games and put the show back on the road, as when­ Wembley was out of action. The team belongs to all of­ us, not just London and well heeled visitors. After­ all, the FA are praising the regional grounds in the­ 2018 bid. Keep Wembley for the Cup Finals etc or better­ still, get shot of it. It's a mill-stone.

there is no such thing as plastic "grass"...­ ;)

it has to be a multi purpose stadim with non football­ events cos thats how things make money!!! also they­ shouldve put a roof on the @#$% thing!! or got a pitch­ that rolls out of the stadium to get the sunlight..*see­ University of Arizona Stadium in America* :D

for all those muppets who continue to ask for the­ stadium to only be used for football.....please stop­ it. the stadium has to fund itself and also begin to­ pay back the money that was needed to create it in the­ first place. they cannot do that by only holding­ england matches.

Desso Pitches are world renowned so this time at last­ they FA may be doing the right thing, the Emirates,­ Eatslands and Anfield aren't bad pitches they are­ all the same as this opne will be

Everything the FA does is a massive joke, they are a­ worldwide joke, no wonder we have not got the world cup­ bid

Now we have wembley, a joke of a stadium, cost two­ thirds what it should have done, a roof that they­ cannot close, a pitch that will always be a problem­ because of the silly roof design

Just like the dome­ was Labours tombstone, Wembley will be the FAs

And­ cost us any world cup bid in our lifetimes

Wembley­ shows how bad the FA are, just like the England team

easy solution drive in movie theatre

I've got a few rolls of old carpet in me shed if­ anyone from wembley is interested. It's a few years­ old and it smells of catpiss but it's bound to be­ better than what they're using.

as a swindon fan who lost at wembley to millwall and­ saw our main striker charlie austin miss a sitter­ because of a bad bobble when clean through i think the­ pitch was a total disgrace and you see better on sunday­ mornings down the park, the FA are a shambles who i­ wouldnt trust to run an under 5s game let alone the­ national game, government should step in and sort it­ out from top to bottom

Luzhniki stadium do the same - they use artificial­ pitch in Moscow.
Its very good, even with rains and­ minus 30 C temperature.
