In theory, we are the away team also?
When it's the cup final it inspires players, as they are appearing at Wembley.
Well, it used to be like that.
I would think that the vast majority of CL players are internationals and maybe already have. Some play at better, or bigger stadiums for their club teams.
You get to Wembley being in a semi final, in the play offs .
So, who hasn't played at fucking Wembley these days.
Anyway, if yo can be inspired by a trip to Wembley in front of 25 -30k of your own fans for a final you can be inspired to play at Wembley, in the biggest club competition, in front of 85k.
When Woolwich were there it had a running track.
It was also because Dien, probably like Levy but we have also a valid excuse, wanted to prove to the bankers/lenders that Woolwich could get crowds of over 60k. They were looking at moving at that time.
You also have to remember that this was their first 2 ventures into the CL. Is that not a valid reason for them not doing well?
Let's make no mistake, they would have gone back too if it wasn't getting demolished.
