    I think this is a bad thing, especially if it's in replacement of the Wembley games, not instead of. Much smaller capacity and only two games per year guaranteed. Seems like a backward step.

    I know the article says there may be other games played in other stadia but then Bournemouth may win the Premier League. Doesn't mean they will though.

    Maybe they had a problem filling Wembley and were looking for a smaller ground, at a lower cost.

    Hahaha.

    You haven't been to many of the Wembley games, have you?

    We only see the field, not the seats.
    No idea how many people go to the games.

    elucidate

    Pretty much every game is a sell-out, crows are around the 85k mark and that's because the bottom few rows are closed off for the banners of the home and away teams.

    I believe two of the three games next season are sold out already, and the other one (Bills at Jags) is nearly sold out.
