Exactly, so what is the point in having a second 'Wembley' when you can 
replace the current one.

No, Nick, you're talking bollocks. When did I ever mention the size of 
the city being important and what the hell have capitals got to do with 
it. As you well know, Sydney has a lot more to offer than Canberra to the 
tourist in much the same way as London has a lot more to offer than 
Birmingham. Political reasons obviously come into the IOC's decision over 
the Olympics but the siting of a new national stadium is also going to be 
down to political reasons.
