The managing director of the firm building the new Wembley has admitted there is only a 70% chance of the stadium being ready to host the FA Cup Final on May 13.
Despite a spokesman for Multiplex playing down such rumours today, UK managing director Martin Tidd has admitted it is possible the new stadium will not be ready in time, which would mean the showpiece being held at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Multiplex had insisted the project was on track for the March 31 handover deadline. Tidd said the firm was committed to handing over the stadium on March 31, but added there were still risks involved in meeting the deadline.
He said the firm would be able to advise Wembley National Stadium Limited, the subsidiary of the Football Association set up to run the stadium, on whether it would be ready in the next two or three weeks.
WNSL would then advise the FA on where the Cup final should be held.
