Lol. Are you going mate on the 76 minuter coach?If supporter clubs are getting some that means Canal Street Blues and Bredbury Blues are getting the majority
Can anyone confirm if Bredury Blues are running a bus to Wembly ?
Mug was the wrong word to use but everything else @jrb said was bang on the money IMO. As he said, outdoor mixing at bars, etc, is now allowed and is free of many of the restrictions that are being imposed at this game. And how it can be deemed to be fair to charge fans of either club for tickets when Brent residents get them for free is beyond my comprehension. Presenting a negative test result beforehand I have no issues with but pretty much everything else is a piss-takeSorry then I’m a mug. It’s a test event designed to help get more fans into future events. Before the ‘roadmap’ actually allows. This isn’t going to be the norm. It’s an experiment. I’m not overly happy paying when others may not but £50 for a cat 1 ticket is at least less than a normal final price. For me the inconvenience is getting a test the day before (be nice to be out of the house two days running :-) and then drive down on the day. No big deal. Can’t wait to see the boys in the flesh again, last time was at the Sty for that 2-0 defeat. Need cleansing.
I agree with you. Good luck to those that are going but I also think City are doing the wrong thing with these tickets.Surely they could have had a lottery for season ticket holders to give everyone a chance of getting a ticket rather than just the usual fans ? If we get to the fa cup final and have a similar allocation do the same fans get the tickets again ? Why not have two lottery draws and a rule that if you get a ticket for LC final then you can't enter the draw for the fa cup final ? Also, why doesn't the club pay transport costs as a measure of goodwill to the loyal fans ? It would be a good gesture !Mug was the wrong word to use but everything else @jrb said was bang on the money IMO.

Driving down is arguably the least worst option of the three so you'll probably have a more enjoyable day than most of those travelling by train or coach. I've done my fair share of journeys on official club coaches down the years and even in those non-Covid times they were devoid of any fun so God knows what it'll be like this time.
I agree that some of the measures aren’t good but it’s hardly the first time we’ve had draconian measures imposed on us as travelling fans. It’s not put me off before and it won’t for this when I have the chance of going to a cup final. Especially after the last 12 months or so have been hell.Mug was the wrong word to use but everything else @jrb said was bang on the money IMO.

Because when tickets are restricted for games loyalty points have always been used so I disagree especially that LC would in any way be the same as FA cup final and one should exclude the other if successful. Although I agree regarding transport costs. This would have made a nice gesture.I agree with you.

All this Covid pandemic and do's & dont's rules you've got to follow plus tests you need to do. Yet they still manage to have 1st and Standard class on the special trains !Am i taking it right that if i drive down the car parking is free at Wembley ??
- rain: 750 spaces priced at £80 for Standard Class and £130 for First Class
- Coach: 750 spaces priced at £50
- Car: 250 spaces
Presumably they will just be taken in to the Wembley Stadium station. That's the one we always use. It by far is the best way into the stadium. It is virtually attached to the stadium itself with direct trains to Brum and central London every few minutes.If the fans going on the train arnt bused in from either Watford or Euston what is the point of a covid secure train?
If they are bused in as this is a test event what's that proving as no fans are doing this in normal circumstances?
Don't get it
No it’s definitely going into Euston not any Wembley stationPresumably they will just be taken in to the Wembley Stadium station. That's the one we always use.

The Avanti trains can't use Wembley stationPresumably they will just be taken in to the Wembley Stadium station. That's the one we always use. It by far is the best way into the stadium. It is virtually attached to the stadium itself with direct trains to Brum and central London every few minutes.
Like the old days before coaches had bogs. Ah the memoriesIf you go in the car will you be banned from stopping for a piss at the services on the way down?
Might be an idea to take a few empty plastic bottles just incase!
I believe its going to Euston via Watford off what the train planner said on here?Presumably they will just be taken in to the Wembley Stadium station. That's the one we always use.

Wow that's a bit of stupid forward planning. The whole thing sounds like a circus to avoid. The specials always used to arrive and leave from Wembley Stadium station and I have always used that route.The Avanti trains can't use Wembley station
We had a similar conversation. I think once the ‘car spaces’ are gone you will have to book coach or train to buy a ticket. Strictly speaking you aren’t supposed to share a car with anyone outside your household or support bubble so that might be part of the thinking.Unless I've missed it on the info - there's nothing stopping me driving down with people who have tickets is there? But if I get one and select a car parking space and my friends further down the criteria get a ticket and the car parking has sold out would they have to select the coach/train despite not going on it?
