Wembley




MP for Brent South Dawn Butler visited the Stadium on Thursday 28th July. She said "The Stadium looks great. People I have spoken to in the constituency [Brent] are really excited about the Stadium."

Construction of the sliding roof has begun and is designed to allow maximum light and ventilation to the famous Wembley turf. In its retracted position the roof will also provide clear television pictures, uninterrupted by heavy shadows. The roof will be left open between events, but can be moved to line up with the touchline within 15 minutes, ensuring that every spectator can be sheltered during events, leaving the playing area uncovered.
