FA Cup draw but Wembley not ready?

The 5th Round FA Cup draw threw up some great all Premiership ties but also gave Preston & Crystal Palarse a great opportunity to reach the Quarter Finals of the world's most prestigious competition.

This is the full draw with our Road to Wembley boys first out of the hat:

Preston/Crystal Palace v Coventry/Middlesbrough
Newcastle v Southampton
Aston Villa v Manchester City
Everton/Chelsea v Colchester
Charlton v Brentford
Liverpool v Manchester United
Bolton v West Ham
Stoke v Reading/Birmingham

Meanwhile despite the huge amounts of money it costs me to brand this whole charade 'The Road to Wembley,' the Australian company responsible for the rebuilding of Wembley has warned that the famous stadium might not be rebuilt in time! (more)

They reckon it has only a 70% chance of being ready, which will be okay if Palarse get there because they will only fill 70% of their allocation!
