I’m on a stag do this week. So I’ll be flying from Prague at 6am after an all nighter… with three United fans. Wish me luck.

7am Saturday from Broomwood (south manchester) to Wealdstone fc

Timperley, ;-)

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

About a minute from the start, from the BBQ in the back garden with another beer in-hand.

Done.

I'll be leaving on Wed 31 - flying from O'Hare (Chicago) into LHR for June 1 and basing in Slough, exotic paradise & home to 'The Office'; not sure yet how I'll be getting to Wembley from my little hideout - but would welcome suggestions from those who've made this trip many times previously (to avoid underground and/or Wembley crunches, etc) - the last time I was at Wembley was in '81, so I've not even been to this newer stadium!

 

[blue is best]

Any idea of a good guaranteed car park, close to the underground. I usually park at Denham, but obviously Chiltern railway's are on strike.

We use Uxbridge, has a multi storey car park, cost us £6 odd to park for the semi final.

Try Chorleywood mate, stations about 5 minutes off M25, big car park never crowded, tube about every 15 minutes, 20 minutes to Wembley, local pubs if you fancy that. Fares a out £3 by card.

if @Chappie isn't collecting our fares by 6:05am on Prinny Parkway I’ll start worrying

Starting in Croydon
Tram to Wimbledon.
District line to Paddington.
Bakerloo line to Baker St.
Metropolitan line to Wembley.
Best part of 2 hours thanks to the stoopid train strike.

It’s not stoopid mate it’s stupid … but it’s not stupid or stoopid them lads and lasses get my support. Inconvenience for us but hope they win the battle. Just proves they do a valued job what gets taken for granted by us the public.
In my opinion.

Wasn’t able to get a ticket unfortunately so just wondering how many are going down without (I imagine a fair few) and where they’re watching it around Wembley?

 

[Blue warrior]

All those leaving at 8 or before from Manchester, is that because you are on a 50mph coach or fancy a couple of hours on the piss when you get there?

Otherwise, surely giving yourself 7+ hours to get to London is a bit cautious?

Meeting up with a couple of mates who live in Cricklewood leaving car at theirs then enjoying a scran and a few pint’s before the match.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Worsley. 6.45 am.

I think the pubs around Wembley close while the match is on.
