And people complain about decent drinking places around Wembley
Build it between the M6 and M1 slap bang inbetween lutterworth and rugby (churchover area), obviously you would also build some pubs and eateries near it and a a rail/tram link from rugby but you would have two towns with plenty of pubs and two major motorways, also it would be central for all fans.
Doesn't matter anyway as it will never happen though when they rebuilt wembley some cockend in the FA should have had the vision to build a national stadium for all not just London

The last train I have seen is at 21:00, at least one that gets you home in good time. The 21:45 takes 6 hours and involves 2 changes is what I saw
Yeah 21:30 is via leeds 21:45 took 12 hrs but they are selling them as routes home

In terms of the return trains on May 18th, it's broadly the same plan as on Saturday, although the route via the Potteries is open up until the time of the normal last trains, so one of the reliefs will serve Stoke and Macc.
20.20 Euston to Manchester will run as normal
20.54 Euston to Manchester unadvertised relief calling at Wilmslow and Stockport (will not run if match goes to extra time and / or penalties)
21.00 Euston to Manchester will run as normal
21.20 Euston to Manchester advertised relief calling at Stoke, Macclesfield and Stockport
21.24 Euston to Manchester advertised relief calling at Stafford, Crewe, Wilmslow and Stockport
21.46 Euston to Manchester unadvertised relief (will only run if match goes to extra time and / or penalties) calling at Wilmslow and Stockport.
The line will close after the passage of the 21.46 (if it is required to operate).
All the above is subject to validation, but I'd expect the advertised services to appear in public systems by this time next week.

None will say you can, because it's illegal to allow drinking on coaches travelling to a sports fixture. That's not to say it doesn't happen of course, but if you ask they are duty bound to say no.
