What are your Wembley plans?

[xgorton]

It’s been at Wembley since the early / mid 70’s apart from when it was being rebuilt

The only reason we played at Villa Park was because Wembley was required for the olympics

So it’s hardly a new thing

I remember watching us in the 70s in two charity finals one at Villa park v Villa,and at Maine Rd v Burnley.

Found out last night that my son has sorted me out with a ticket for Wembley for my birthday. I know its a bit late but........ If anyone has 3 spare spaces on their coach or minibus please PM me. :-)

Start jogging now mate and you may get in for half time.

I know its not a new thing but with FA cup semi finals now being at Wembley the whole Wembley thing is devalued.
Plus none of the teams consider it a serious game/trophy(other than utd)
Is it really necessary?
Still not going

Anyway next week will be leaving 8 am fully loaded mini bus with 12 of us using park on my drive about 15 min walk to the pubs/ground

And WBA at home in the Charity Shield 1968 beating them 6-1.A certain Bobby Owen scored.He was fucking shite after that one game.

Watching it in the local pub run by a Blue landlord,can’t make it down this year as caring for my partner,and didn’t like that end of the ground when I went v Dippers 2 years ago.

It's just a glorified friendly, and like it says on the tin, it raises money for charity

Don't see a problem with it as long as you don't take it too seriously and definitely don't count it as a trophy, unlike as you correctly say the Rags do

Take it or leave it. I missed the Chelsea one as I was at a christening and missed the arsenal one as I was on holiday in Portugal. Wasn't too excited about winning the first and wasn't bothered about losing the second

Next week we'll be parking the car at Ruislip, few beers in the boozers on the high street, then tube into Wembley park. Did exactly the same for the Liverpool final and it worked a treat

Staying over in Harrow - expect to get beat due to not playing a 'keeper, so may as well have a proper drink.

 

[Manc in London]

Currently trying to find the best place to watch the Chelsea/United game and get to the ground with time to spare.

Probably go to Kings X / Euston then West Hampstead or Finchley Road to find a boozer with SKY Sports.

Will stumble home to MiL Towers at around midnight.
