The row over the unfinished Wembley Stadium has gathered pace after the construction company Multiplex denied liability for the latest delays.
The announcement that no major events will be held at the £757m stadium until 2007 has left the Football Association (FA) and pop concert organisers desperately seeking new venues for a series of high-profile events.

WNSL's major headache will be lost revenue from planned events, including concerts in June by Bon Jovi and Take That (both have been moved to Milton Keynes), the Rolling Stones in August (moved to Twickenham) and Robbie Williams in September. A spokesman for Williams said: "Wembley Stadium today announced that they will not be able to accommodate the scheduled run of events for autumn 2006 including the Robbie Williams concerts. Alternative arrangements for Robbie's Wembley dates are being made and an announcement as to the venue will be made as soon as the details are confirmed."
