Wembley builders set to miss another deadline

Wembley’s owners are confident the rebuilt stadium will be open for business by the end of the year but believe builders Multiplex will miss their September deadline.

The traditional home of English football was due to open at the beginning of the year, but Australian firm Multiplex have announced a series of delays, forcing the Football Association to keep the FA Cup final at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium and arrange England fixtures at Old Trafford.
