Urban Councillors have been attacked by the former managers of the Hong Kong Stadium, who warn millions of public dollars may go to waste.
Wembley International yesterday threatened further legal action against the Urban Council, which alleged the company may have left the Hong Kong Stadium with $6.5 million in outstanding repairs.
Wembley said the stadium was faultless when it vacated the premises on May 26 and claimed 'free-spending' councillors were using the company as a scapegoat for the problems which it said must have arisen since the departure.
The pair have been locked in a legal dispute since Wembley's sacking by the council in May.
The termination came after a spate of problems at the 40,000-seat arena since its $1 billion refurbishment in 1993.
Urban Services Department staff who have taken over stadium management reported water leaks, which threaten electronic equipment, were up to a year old and must have been known by Wembley.
Wembley spokesman Simon Hill said the approval last week of $6.46 million in emergency repairs for water leaks was 'potentially needless' and suggested councillors were ignorant of the stadium's technicalities.
