    Running at a cost of 975 million atm which exceeds the cost of the 5 new stadiums germany built and the 6 they upgraded.

    So they got 11 stadiums for less than 975 million and the FA may have one next year for 975.

    Where's that figure from? BBC says near £800m, which would be about €1.1b.

    Rather expensive, even for London. Ashburton cost less than half that.

    Jeepers, I knew the German stereotype was the efficient type but that's just unbelievable. I can't decide which is more impressive, the German efficiency or the English ability to spend that much money on an ugly stadium built by an Australian company...
