Surely Wembley’s Priority is Football?

Visit http://dbs-football.blogspot.com/ The Wembley pitch. Once envied by managers and players, it is now the most disappointing pitches in England. And the most expensive. After the Carling Cup
Final this year, James Milner criticised the pitch saying that it was worse than lower league teams pitches. He emphasised how hard teams work to get to a final – only for it to be played on a
terrible surface. It apparently costs £100,000 to relay the pitch, and there is going to be a lot more relaying over the next few years. But not because of football. The pitch needs to be relayed
because of other events such as concerts, American football, and racing events which ruin the pitch and leave it in horrible condition for the footballers. Surely, the main reason for Wembley was
to play football on it. Why then, do the footballers get the worst of it? Michael Owen was injured on it, pulling his hamstring, and therefore ruling him out of any World Cup hopes he had and
many others have complained they felt much worse after playing on it. A serious injury could be caused from this pitch, and it could be a very valuable player who is the victim. In the FA Cup
Final today perhaps. On the world largest footballing stages, with the best players playing on it, it really needs to be sorted out – with football the main priority. It would save money, time
and maybe even a professional footballers’ career. Visit http://dbs-football.blogspot.com/
