I heard that it could be based in the new Everton Stadium being built in the liverpool docks for 2004. This would house about 50,000 but the english FA is meant to be ready to pay about 10 million for it to be expanded to 70,000.

I think it should remain in London, where Wembley once stood. Capacity should be increased to 100,000 making it one of the biggest stadiums in the world and it should be a multi purpose built venue meaning we could be equipped for just about every major sporting event!!

Everything is so expensive though in London and the traffic is mad. Maybe they could build it up north as it would be much cheaper and so would able to have more room for a bigger staduim. Surely the creaters of football should have the biggest and best staduim in the world.

They should put the national stadium in the middle of nowhere so it is easy to access.

The FA should ecant to hampden and enjoy the luxury of the facilities on offer in the only stadium in the world to be given a 5 star FIFA ranking. Maybe then you will realise that £65 million is more than enough to spend on a national stadium!!

I'd agree with putting it in the middle of nowhere but how about North London, outside the M25?

Impeccable Logic, would this be the middle of Nowhere that had no Buses, Trains or Electricity!

I don't think it matters where they build really as long as it isn't Manchester, they don't need another excuse to be unbearably smug. Somewhere between London and the Midlands would be best. How about knocking down Milton Keynes and putting it there.

That is exactly what I am saying. That way they can start with a clean slate and make the stadium the way they want it to be.

Yes, but building where there is already an established Transport infrastructure will make it cheaper and easier to build. More Money saved means bigger bonuses for the FA chiefs.
