[Last summer, when asked if Wembley Stadium would be ready to host this years FA Cup Final] I will definitely be taking my seat at Wembley Stadium on 13th May. |
Design change is an ongoing process and this is a material risk [to the stadium's effective completion] in our opinion. |
If we had our time again we would manage differently the significance of May 13; we'd want to finish a great stadium. |
It does not all come down to us at the end of the day. |
Structural engineers investigating this morning's incident have confirmed that this is an isolated situation that has not occurred anywhere else on site. |
The remainder of the site is now safe. The workforce will be returning to all other areas from tomorrow morning. |
This has not affected the structure of the roof, or the stadium, neither of which has moved. At this point we believe this could be a minor incident. |
We have 3,500 guys out there putting a huge amount of pressure on the contractors to drive the job over the line. There's still a risk, we are managing it, but there may be other contractors out there that might not see it through. |
