I looked at staying further out but the reason I like a hotel is i can walk to and from Wembley and not have to queue for transport. The bloody kick off time has caused this, if it was 3pm you could get home easily on the day.
To be honest whilst the number of people queuing for trains at Wembley Park is high, I think they manage it well and it’s not particularly stressful. The stress bit is worrying about whether you can get a train for me but trains to MK are very frequent and run until late at night so no worry. I like to stay in the stadium if we win until the celebrations are over and it’s a shame that so many can’t do this with transport to get.
The kick off times are a joke. The FA trying to make as much money as possible from the TV companies. When there are no other games it should be 3pm or 4pm at the latest

Diving header is when you're off the ground to be fair.Just an example of the anti-City bias. The BBC described it in the match report as a 'stooping header'. It was a diving header FFS.

Totally agree.
I am the same as you mate. I take my wife (even though she doesn’t go to the game).we always stay at the holiday Inn, we get there early, have a few drinks, I go to the game while she chills out in the room. Back to the hotel for post match drinks, then we go for a meal in the evening. No transport stress. I was lucky this time, I had enough points on their loyalty scheme as they wanted over £300 for the Saturday night.I looked at staying further out but the reason I like a hotel is i can walk to and from Wembley and not have to queue for transport.

I just think the 'stooping' description gives the impression of falling onto the ball.That’s nitpicking even for the most hardened of agendaists mate ;)

I am gobsmacked at the prices being quoted and I think they will get burnt. As I said earlier I stayed at the Hilton for the Wigan final and that was £175. While the location is great and the room was nice it was just a bed at the end of the day. To charge over £400 now is absolutely ridiculous.
You look at the price of the tickets, ridiculous lack of transport and you wonder why you bother. They are taking the piss out of football fan's because they can, because of the emotional pull of supporting your team. I am.probably just getting old.

He ended up full length on the ground. Anyone who knows the slightest thing about headers would class it as a diving header! The BBC are just a bunch of wankers who want to downgrade anything that a City player might do! Diving header. Perhaps they're still waiting for VAR to disallow it for stooping. And for Taylor to book him for 'aggressive stooping'!
