Wembley hit by further construction problems

The development of England's national stadium, Wembley, has been hit by further construction problems that are preventing its opening until 2007. Although the £757m project was due to be completed in September 2006, construction may not now be completed in time for the 2007 FA Cup Final.

Multiplex confirmed that it has applied for a contractual extension until October next year, but insisted that the latest delays have been caused by Wembley National Stadium Limited (WNSL).

Multiplex confirmed that the pitch, together with 'associated work', has now been completed. However, 20 000 seats await installation, steelwork requires final painting, the north roof is not yet complete and electrical systems require final commissioning.
