Will they close the roof?

[Johnny Tightlips]

'The stadium has a retractable sliding roof design, which allows the pitch to be exposed to direct sunlight and ventilation whilst ensuring that spectators are covered'

Wembley official site

It's not a full roof - It covers the "ends". They ran out of money. It doesn't cover the pitch.

With this forecast can't see that many numbers doing this walk then...

Wembley doesn't have a retractable roof

[Stanley]

So if the roof was closed it wouldn't cover the pitch? Why would they have a roof then?

Something about maintaining correct humidity levels?

I've never really understood it tbh.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Oh right.

Odd design that by the sound of it.

[MattyRangers]

The ankle swingers of the retractable roofing world eh. So keepers, defenders & strikers stay dry whilst midfielders get soaked?

[rodders]

done the tour once. roof is something to do with getting sunlight on the pitch when grounds not in use

[Factamondo]

did the murphys build it or what??
