    But £72 to sit in temporary seating getting piss wet through is not value for money. I thought Wembley had a retractable roof?

    Pretty impressive stadium though and it'd be great to see the Reds there instead of Derby vs West Brom.

    I'm glad Derby won, not only for our lass who supports them (hence why I was there) but hopefuly we can have Nyatanga back. It says a lot when he wasn't even on the bench for them.

    Temporary seating?

    The retractable roof is designed to allow more sunlight onto the pitch when there aren't games on to aid the growth of the grass. So it goes from it's normal position of covering the seated areas, to exposing the seated areas but allowing more sunlight in.

    Yeah, temporary seating

    The front 15 rows or so along the side of the pitch oposite the tunnel are remevable steel terracing, probaby so they can fit a stage in for gigs. Every time there was a corner everyone just jumped up and down making it sound like the red indians were coming!

    As for the roof, I'm still not sure why they didn't close it so everyone didn't get drenched. I was directly beneath the edge of the stand so had drops of water the size of golf balls falling from god know how high and smacking into the top of my head.

    And another thing, the prices in the gorund were unbelievable- £8 for fish and chips ! £3.50 for a pint! £1 for bag of crisps! £1.50 for a cup of tea!

    Yesterday the commentator said that the roof would not close fully but would keep he supporters dry ????
