16/1 For Wembley Not To Be Ready For FA Cup Final 2007! Bookmakers William Hill have opened a book on which event will be the first to be staged at the new Wembley Stadium and make the Community Shield, scheduled for 6th of August, their 1/3 favourite.
Hill's Odds for Which Event Will Be Staged First At Wembley Stadium? 1/3 Community Shield (scheduled for 6th August). 8/1 Bon Jovi (scheduled for 10th & 11th June). 8/1 None of these (scheduled events). 9/1 Take That (scheduled for 24th & 25th June). 16/1 Rolling Stones (scheduled for 20th & 22nd August). 20/1 Challenge Cup Final (scheduled for 26th August). 25/1 Robbie Williams (scheduled from September 14th to 19th).
"Our first thoughts are that the Community Shield will have the honour of being the first event to take place at the new stadium but some punters seem to think that the stadium won't be ready before the 2007 FA Cup Final!" said Hill's spokesman Rupert Adams.
*Hills are also offering odds of 12/1 that the Opening Ceremony for the 2012 Olympics will be delayed due to the Olympic Stadium not being ready on time.
