We're being dropped of at the pink coach park. Is the 'spoons south-west of the ground worth trying for or is it going to be rammed?

Depend what time you get there. It is usually packed a couple of hours before kick off.

Looks like the far right lot are meeting up near Euston so just be mindful of that when choosing pubs. Upper Woburn place mentioned. They will have stewards at Euston / KC directing them. I’m sure a few pubs on Euston Road will be full of them
So if it’s not your bag may be worth finding a pub a bit further off the beaten track.

Yeah, we have had to make a diversion from our usual this time. Going to go west for the pub and then get the train from Marylebone

Going to be a tired and emotional day tomorrow no matter!!
Arrive back from Thailand tonight at 5pm
7am train to King's X
Then try to absorb as much of the HMFC game as possible.
Probably in bed by 8pm but happy hopefully

I'm doing similar, wondering whether to drink around Marylebone or to head out to Wembley and try and get a drink round there. Not going to be in London until 12ish.

Bugger, missed out on Wealdstone.
Can anyone recommend which train station and line to use when driving down the M40. (Have done Gerrards Cross before). Hillingdon looks to have a big & safe looking car park.
And is it Wembley Park for the City end? Thanks folks.

What for car parking?

There's plenty of free road parking between their ground and the underground station.

Just make sure you keep all your wheels on the road and not on the pavement.

Wembley Central is the tube station for the City pubs.

The Chiltern Line is a decent option. Warwick Parkway, Banbury or Haddenham & Thame are options not far off the M40 with plenty of parking. If there’s 3 or more of you (without railcards) then book tickets together to get a discount.

First time going to Wemberly for me (and mum) i used to watch the finals with my grandad at his home until he passed away last year, 10 years to the day since my nanna passed away on Saturday as well.

8:14 train from town, make our way to Watford (where we are staying)
over to Wemberley for 12.
Taphouse by 12:30 and soak it in (mum wanted to do hospitality)

Aftterwards, who knows.

Myself and daughter are at Watford too. Had a late change of plans as was originally doing a drive there and back job but did that last weekend for the Rochdale play-off final and that tuned into a stupidly long day so decided to stop over!

Plenty of road parking outside Wealdstone FC . As mentioned just don’t park with 2 wheels on the pavement or you will get a ticket .

Lets hope for a double celebration.

I hope you will all be cheering on Hearts at 12.30

100%.

I'm usually fairly impartial (non interested) when it comes to Scottish football but that bullshit the other night really irritated me so I'll definitely be wanting a Hearts win.

Might have a tenner on a Hearts/City double.

Getting train from Stockport at around 9am I think. 4 cans and a tube of pringles for the journey.

Was thinking Baker Street area but having looked into it, it seems that's likely to be a Chelsea area.

So, not sure once I get into London. Might have a mooch around Camden.

Bit the bullet and decided to stay a couple of nights in a hotel rather than rush about on the day. Onboard a Euston train now pretty quiet thankfully.

Great Portland Street?

There are 3 or 4 decent big pubs on Wembley High Road if you turn right outside Wembley Central station. 5 minutes walk to stadium.

Don't think I've been around that area mate. Any good?

 

[Danny Hoekman]

Quite a few smaller pubs around there, down off the main road that should be ok.

If you've got a medical issue it's fantastic!

A lot of City in the (other) Greene Man and the Albany was mixed for Arse
