Will they close the roof?

Forecast for Saturday morning is thunder and lightening (source BBC website).
Who decides if the roof is to be shut and when do we find out?

I was about to say what a stupid question.... But i don't know is my new answer... Only bit of thunder and rain so i doubt it!

New Wembley does have one mate, you're thinking of the old one.

'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'

if i'm correct Wembley doesn't have a fully closing roof unlike the millenium in cardiff something they neglected to do when the spent the £800M on it was put a fully closing and retractable roof.
Hence the term the Wally with the brolly i.e. McClaren when England manager

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

You'll find out when and if it happens. That's when!!

[West Acton]

Design was changed as it was going to cost to much to have a sliding roof that covered whole pitch

Fair question.

'You still get wet if the roof is 'closed' if sitting in the level 01 areas as rain travels with the wind; bring your brolly (!) if you're lucky enough to be seated pitch side'
