Wembley

The FA Cup was rubbish. The Conference final between Exeter and
Morecambe was not. Wembley stadium is amazing. Here are some observations. The skyline is dominated by the arch and it really is an impressive site. One person on the tube into the stadium was heard to remark, "Is that the stadium?" to which her dad replied "No that's Tesco, it's behind that." Another person, who I was travelling with asked, "So where's the old Wembley then?"

For some reason the 'Waste management' guys have to wear luminous pink blazers. Seems a bit mean really. The view from my seat (pictured left) was fantastic and the sound really does stay inside the stadium as
the architect Norman Foster designed it to do.

Exeter lost which was a real shame but it was a fantastic day out and a fitting stadium for the home of football.
