All pubs near Wembley are horseshit, without exception. JJ Moons is a bog standard Spoons, therefore shit. So many good places to drink in London. Get the tube to Wembley Park as late as possible.
Mason Arms Kensal Rise on route.. a big blue used to run it.. decent good..used to be full of blues... good thing is a lot of Palace fans will be drinking around London Bridge or Streatham even.. so all NW London oubs on route are fair game.. a great one on Park Eoad near Baker Street is also good...The Windsor..
 
Two weeks to go and still no time announced, absolute joke for a 'showpiece' competition. Imagine selling that to a worldwide TV audience.

I know I can easily get a ticket, but this might be a TV watch with the disdain the FA hold for us.
 
Heaven forbid they decided to put on an extra few trains that DID stop there, eh?!

It’s like they don’t like money, or to provide efficiency and convenience to their customers, but I digress…

Safe day out to those fortunate enough to attend. My last one was Watford, the record setting win, with my newly 18 year old son. Capstone to a one week vacation in London with me treating him to a few libations around town. We even managed to get on TalkSport on Wembley Way as they did a City fans vs Watford fans bit. Whole family was in the parking lot listening to us on the radio, before we joined them for a little pre-match tailgate! Great memories!

(And, yes, I did need to lose weight!)

Your sunglasses are shit.

Looks like you had a shit view.
 
Does East Side mean we get the BoxPark?
Surely it'd make sense to give it to the out of towners and favourites for the cup. Makes us more likely to stick around and spend money.

Who had it out of Palace and Villa?
 
Dear FA

We are holding a meeting in Manchester that you all need to attend. We can tell you the venue and the date but we aren't going to tell you what time the meeting starts until two weeks prior so you can't make arrangements until then. Do you need a hotel, not going to tell you just yet, will wait until the prices have gone up. Need to get an early train down or can you wait until a bit later, not going to tell you so prices go up. Need to get back for work the next day and need to book an early evening train back, not going to tell you so you might have to catch a later one back. Stop taking the piss and tell us the ko time, at the moment you are rivalling UEFA and their useless organisational skills and that takes some doing.

They've only had 153 years notice that there's going to be a cup final.
 
Bought my Eurostar train tickets (since prices will only go up). On spec, hoping there'll be a late single ticket for little old me. And not at £225, or whatever it is. If not, well I'll spend a nice few days seeing friends in Oxford/London. This is a long shot, but anybody know a City-friendly sports pub in the city of the dreaming spires?
 
The time hasnt been confirmed to anybody, wait for the club to confirm before booking anything.

Very, very well said.
 
To be honest with the way the fans are being treated over this then should we win the cup I would have no issue if City declined to participate in the Community Shield in early August. It has been done before.
Due to our participation in the CWC we have already requested a delay to our first league match next season which has been declined.
