Norman Foster to Wembley Critics: Bollocks! 
Monday, February 27, 2006

_1666205_foster150.jpgWho cares if it won't be open in time to host the FA Cup finals in May (you can't spell Arsenal without...), Norman Foster's revamped Wembley Stadium will have bigger seats, fewer obstructed ones, 536 more "catering points," and—hold your breath and noses during the drumroll—2,257 more toilets! How, O Our Readers, do we know? Because we read it in Foster's own, brave words. Via ANN.
