The Football Association reportedly spent £17m in order to move to Wembley out of Soho Square.  It is thought that the FA was forced to move after Setanata the TV giant fell which increased the tariff of the building which was too much financial pressure for the FA when they could not find a new occupant.

New accounts revealed at the end of this week are thought to bring further light to just how much the move actually cost the FA, however, in the future the move is predicted to save the FA about £4.5m annually.

Previously the FA was thought to have paid over £30m to its subsidiary the Wembley National Stadium Limited over the course of 2009 with another £20m expected to have to be paid in 2010 and 2011.  This amount is expected to drop down to £12m in 2012 and 2013.
