As I said to @worsleyweb , and the same I would say to you, your opinions about Wembley are relevant. They are quite strong in fact.
Can I ask you two questions;

1; What is it about your recent visits to Wembley that you have found so negative. ?

2;When you compare Wembley to say Selhurst Park, or trying to get to White Hart lane, or the London stadium view, is Wembley so much worse ?

I know from previous correspondence that you have strong views so I would love to read your thoughts on those two.
I have found no more issues with Wembley than other away grounds, and less in certain aspects.

The area around it is grim.
The beer in the local pubs is shite.
The chicken in the jerk man literally nearly killed me.
The ground does not do a lot for me
It feels sanitised
There are inevitably coked up knobheads
I find getting way from there a chore and takes for ever - much the same reason I don't do Palace very often.
I have been too many times - simple as that.
I tend to do between 5 and 10 away a season and like to experience different places and grounds.
Much like I would not be in a desperate rush to go to Arsenal every season I don't feel the need to go to Wembley every year

And certainly not for a charity shield against the scousers when it is holiday season.

Compared to Metrolink it’s a doddle getting away from Wembley.

Thanks worleyweb. We all have different experiences of Wembley. I agree about the beer. Decent stuff is available not too far away though. My many visits appear to have been more enjoyable. City lifting trophies there always helps.
I noticed that dennishasdoneit posted that you were saying that it was "wank". Is that a fair summary and representation?
Up the Blues.

Go. Don't go. Your choice. Nobody cares. It's the endless needy attempts to justify your decision to the world at large that bores the arse off me.
 
Was surprised the hotels for the weekend were pretty reasonable, just booked a travel lodge for £129 for the 4 of us for 3 nights, will take the kids into the smog to savour some pollution the other days. If the Thursday wum turns out not to be a wum I'll be well pissed off though.

What are you on about - "endless needs to justify." I said it once and someone asked me why I did not like it. so I answered them - Knobhead.
 
I was reminiscing last night over my last visit to Guimares when Italy played Bulgaria at Euro 2004.

Since then I’ve witnessed 10 trophies, 88 European fixtures and 16 Wembley appearances, which is precisely 10 trophies, 88 European fixtures, and 16 Wembley appearances more than I ever expected whilst supping with the crazy Bulgarians

Personally, I’m sick to the back teeth of the Nou Camp and endless FA Cup Semi Finals and Community Shields.

I’ve got no intention of travelling to Wembley, but eventually I’ll buckle (probably around the time of Wimbledon and the Open) and buy a ticket.
I'll then travel by coach with similar addicts from Whaley/Chapel/Buxton.

Have a great summer everyone, and see you all on the roundabout.

this relates to the Community Shield.

GortonBlue62 has summarised how so many of us feel and are now expressing it - take a view, make a decision, get on with it, move on.

Yet, and this is a general observation, there are a few who skew threads with their individual negativity and repetitive, self justification, when it would be better, for the majority who read even if they are not regular posters, if they refrained.

A few years ago there was a `Positive Thread` on here. It`s about time it returned. There is much that is good and worth writing about.

Excuse me - but I think you may in part be referring to me. With all due respect I think I made one post saying I wasn't going to this game as I was not too fussed about Wembley. You came from knowwhere and made a bit of a sarcastic comment about negativity - someone asked me why I did not want to go and I listed why and then some knob from Gorton said stop going on! and then you come back and make another fucking daft post. Now I have made many many daft posts on Blue Moon over eleven years as part of my 22000 plus posts but your ratio in your first 212 is making even mine look good. Who are you with 212 posts to start telling people they cant post reasons why they might not fancy going to this game?

I promise I wont say anything negative ever again then even when asked why I don't like something! - if you have been lurking over the years you will know that when it comes to City I am one of the most positive posters on here.

So what you're saying is "How dare you! Do you know who you're talking to?".

Also, you don't spell 'pompous' like this - 'positive'.

Do one.
