This game for sure should've been played in some northern griefhole, I don't know why Southampton was picked. On the whole though, other than when we have a major International, I'd only use Wembley for games played at the weekend, as its a proper arseache getting away from there and out of London on a schoolnight.
I'd pretty much always favour playing at a club stadium whenever we're playing one of these cannon fodder noddy nations. Just because we have a national stadium, doesn't mean it should always be the default choice for all England games. I hope the FA send more of these qualifiers around the country.

'Old Wembley' was far from beautiful, it was a ramshackle old khazi by the time they knocked it down. Although I do wish they'd somehow found a way to keep those iconic twin towers.
South of England my arse.

Wembley in the South of England.

I do wish they'd somehow found a way to keep those iconic twin towers and not bothered with anything else.
They could play this at the Amex and I still wouldn't bother attending or watching on TV.

And yet I'll wager you're tuning in when we're in the Finals ?

Wembley is classed as being in "the south" though, so its perhaps surprising that they've gone proper south-south with Southampton for this one, 3 days after they'd just played in the capital.
Maybe Villa Park or Molineux would've been a geographically fairer choice this time. Not that it matters overly.
I’m an England travel club member, do most away games but rarely any home games cos of how difficult Wembley is on a weekday as you mentioned - even from Brighton
That said heading down to St Mary’s tonight as it was an easy game ! Not sure my mates driving down from the midlands agree

A few extra miles to NOT go to Wembley tonight is surely preferable though. It shouldn't be quite such a ballache getting away. Makes a nice change an' all.

The most curious thing..
Bury could have done with the revenue. Or Bolton.
Yeah I know what you mean. Just think revamping it and keeping the Twin Towers would have been respecting tradition. And a darn sight cheaper.

As its not too far for me I thought I would check out availability. £140 a ticket!!!! Is that because the cheap ones have been sold or is that really what people pay these days? Be interested if anyone knows what the cheapest tickets were
