Ultimately, it has not fared well through what has been an extremely harsh winter and it needs to be replaced. The stadium caters for football and non-football events, so replacing the pitch more than once a year is the reality of a multipurpose venue.” Work will start on the new pitch immediately and it will take a week to “bed in”.

BadgerBadger Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 So it hasn't - all that money and the didn't put a proper electric sunroof in, at £90,000 per pitch lay it could have paid for itself by now. Still don't buy the harsh winter it's virtual enclosed and they managed to keep the rain off prior to the Carling Cup - poor show for a centre peice stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedArmy Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 The weather excuse is crap, Arsenals pitch is still great and it's used more than Wembley. Even our pitch is better, and we're in league one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnailOB Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 It is pretty poor that a national stadium that was over budgeted & delivered late, despite how great it may be, can't produce the most important thing - a good playing surface. That said we should now see the best of wembley when we go - a huge sea of red & white and a new untouched pristine playing surface. Hopefully this can only help the team.

Danbert Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 http://www.wembleystadium.com/brilliantfuture/thenewdesign/keyfeatures.htm The Sliding Roof and the Pitch "One of the key challenges of the design team was to keep the famously high standard of the Wembley pitch while, at the same time, designing a stadium with stands that are higher and closer to the pitch than the original stadium and give better uninterrupted views. Many new stadia have suffered from poor pitches as the stands in the stadia can leave large sections of the pitch in almost permanent shadow. Grass demands direct sunlight to grow effectively. For this reason, the sliding roof remains an integral part of the design for the new Wembley. Options such as a palletised pitch (moving a patchwork pitch in and out of the Stadium between events) or regularly re-laying the pitch were rejected as inappropriate for Wembley. Instead, computer models have been made of air movement and sunlight on the existing pitch and the unique moving roof designed for the new Stadium." Yeah, right furkin eedjets.

Saint Luke Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 I watched a programme on Wembley the other day and it talked of air flow etc. Showed a wind model test where they tested it and made changes. I think the biggest problem is the lack of sunlight. The new stadium is so much bigger in all ways that the old one that no matter how hard they tried it was always gonna be difficult.

John Boy Saint Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 If the grass need direct sunshine to make it grow you would have thought with the money that was thrown at this project that the bit of the roof that does slide about would have been mirrored on the underside so that it could also be angled to reflect the Sun onto the pitch. It has been no startling revelation that high sided bowl stadiums stop the airflow and sun getting to the pitch. But then the redevelopment of Wembley has been a joke from beginning to end.
