In many other european nations such as France , Germany , Italy , Spain and the Netherlands , home internationals are played at different grounds to allow fans around the country to watch and support their national team and they often use their national stadium only for home qualifiers.
But here in England , the FA stick their middle fingers to us fans who don't live in the capital and schedule all the England matches ( friendly and qualifiers ) at Wembley - and it's only for the money that Wembley generates.
Yep , that's the english FA for you ... They'd rather make money than have time for the football fans in this country.
If this friendly against Holland had been scheduled to take place away from London , then the FA wouldn't have to cancel it due to what's going on at the moment in north London.
Bunch of money-grabbing wh**es
The FA are DUMB!!!!!

Spain, Netherlands and Italy don't have national stadiums, so they don't have much choice. Neither does Germany really (it's kind-of the Olympic Stadium, but also kind-of not).
But I see your point.

What I dont get either is why a professional team doesnt use Wembley as it's stadium! Surely you give the Hammers the Olympic Stadium and Spurs Wembley it would all be sorted!

It was a stupid time to have a meaningless friendly though, three days before the new season starts

The FA are just a badly run organisation representative of what is wrong with this country.

YES its totally about money, Wembley stadium cost a fortune, thats why even FACup semi finals are played there, the FA are desperate for cash, to try and pay for it!!
---------------------
The thing I hate most about Wembley is all the season tickets they sold which leave all the seats on the halfway line empty
