The truth...

 

If it's raining - Best venue will be Silverspoons.

 

If the weather is nice - Best venue will the the Green Man.

 

There will be 44,000 Saints fans up there, I am pretty sure that there will be more than one good place to drink!

That's much more like it!

Excellent!.

I shall certainly give it some consideration.

PS. Is there somewhere I can park my caravan?

I enquired about the direct ones on Tuesday. They have a reserve list.

 

Have booked onto National Express instead. They've told me that they will wait until after extra-time/penalties if required....

 

£26 return.

Will i be able to take a small rucksack into the ground?

 

If you cannot then at Paddington

 

Left luggage

 

Left Luggage is a secure place where you can leave items of luggage for collection later. This is located on platform 12 and all items will be scanned before acceptance. Please call 020 7262 0344 or click here for more information.

 

If it is the same mob as at Heathrow then it is about 8 quid per day or part thereof

Does anyone know if the bus companies are laying on early buses, and not sticking to their normal Sunday service. Missed oppertunity by them if not, what with thousands of people trying to get to train station and St Marys.

Are there any engineering works that will affect the train from Central to Waterloo?

 

The tube looks fine from Waterloo to Wembley Park, so that won't be a problem.

 

Group Savers are £60ish, so really hoping the service is ok from Soton to Waterloo.

 

I've looked on a few sites now and they all say that trains leave at 6.55 and 7.55 and will take 2:13 each with 0 changes.

There is engineering works so the train has to take a slightly different route hence why it takes 2 hours rather than an hour twenty.

 

cheers for that.was the only worry i had about the train. getting the 6.55 train so the 2hrs can be either used to catch up on some sleep or start early on the beers :)

The other possibility is to change at clapham junction and travel to victoria (6 minutes) tube to Paddington, then Tube to Wembley

 

But then you'll miss the whole fun of going down the escalator at Waterloo singing OWTS

Yes will be going on the 6.55 train as well, shouldn't be quite so rammed as the 7.55 and 8.25.

 

Just need to sort where I'm going to drink before the game, not sure if it's best to travel straight to Wembley and drink there or go to somewhere in the centre of London drink there and head to Wembley a bit later.

According to Network Rail there are NO Engineering works on the 28th. The reason the journey takes 2 hours is purely because of the Sunday timetable, more stops and slower trains. I will be on the 07.11 from Eastleigh arriving at 09.08

Does anyone know how busy the 6.55 train will be? I don't mind standing for the trip but I want to be assured I don't miss it and have to wait for a later one, thus cutting down the beer consumption.

Everyone seems to be joining that drink at the Green Man pub group on Facebook but it's going to be absolutely rammed. You'd never get served. It's probably best to drink at a watering hole in the centre of London and then getting the tube to Wembley. Perhaps even stopping off at Camden market to browse the skinny jeans and perhaps pick up some rare vinyl? Just a thought?

It should be fine, I'll get the tickets the day before and we can get there 10 minutes early to get on the platform.

Why on earth would anyone do that?

Think the quickest way from waterloo to wembley is the bakerloo line to marylebone, then catch the overground train to wembley stadium station.

Will look into the drinking situation and let you know some time in the week. I think drinking near the ground will probably be best considering the amount of people we need to meet up with.

 

You coming down for the whole weekend?

I've not read the whole of this thread so not sure if someone else had gave the tips.

 

Could someone tell me the journey for the tube?

 

No. If you can't be @rsed doing that yourself you shouldn't even be going.

I may be having a thick moment but when you say bottle banks is this the lingo for several bars?

As in places dotted around in the garden where you can buy bottles of beer from... and I think more than one serving draught beers.

if youy look at this planner it doesn't give you diversions cause they don't call at any stations between woking and clapham and normally the stopper doesn't take 51 mins to get to clapham on the main line
