"Equestrianism returned to the
stadium (on 23-28 July) 1968 and
'69, with the Royal International Horse Show. The effect of six
consecutive nights of horses pounding the turf was blamed for the
pitch in subsequent cup finals, although Wembley's groundsman Percy
Young also blamed the new roof because it prevented the wind from
drying the grass. Nevertheless, by 1971, it was back to pristine
condition."

"The next addition to the
football calendar arrived in 1970. The FA Trophy was introduced to
cater for the semi-professional non-league ranks of the English game.
Subtle increases to the numbers of games around this time brought a
swift end to the re-emergence of the Wembley Lions speedway team,
which required modifications to the corners of the pitch each time
they raced." FA Trophy Final: 2 May 1970 - Macclesfield Town
