We will be in Wembley, getting a private coach up that a mate has organised so just have to make do with a massive queue for overpriced pints of carlsberg in a plastic container! Mind you I quite like the hassle free option of getting there early it's swings and roundabouts I guesss.

If you're getting there early then the 20 minute tube journey back towards central is an option, surely?

Harrow Borough FC is a few minutes walk from Northolt Park Station which is one stop fro. Wembley Stadium Station. Friendly large bar with Hot food bar, .Real Ale, Pool & Darts

Yes but I know due to the size of group and mix of ages plus my general reluctance to leave we'll end up staying in Wembley.

Will it be plastic glasses, spoke to the bloke at Wealdstone & he claims the police insist on it if your doing a park for Wembley type event

Seems to be several good pubs at Harrow on the Hill

 

The Junction isn't bad, but if you're in Harrow, make the effort to walk up the hill and go to The Castle. Cracking pub.

Mods, this thread title is misleading, can you change the title to "Nah nah, Ive got better pre match plans than you thread" and put in the Willy Waving section of this forum.

You're having a laugh! Mine is more proud, more veiny, and has a greater angle of elevation. It's clearly bigger too.

 

 

 

Edit: sorry, wrong forum section.

And who drinks the 'realest' ale.

Thanks for the suggestion of Harrow, guys. I'd forgotten (never realised?) how close it was and as I've a friend there who is heavily pregnant I can pop in and say hallo before getting disreputable. On the real ale, natch..

You don't need thread of in the title. I'm not saying where we'll be drinking for fear of being mobbed.

Hmm, after reading all the replies, I'm at a loss as to what I should do before the game.

 

This is the first time I'm going to a game on my own. I kinda want to get involved in the pre-match atmosphere, but without knowing where might be good to go to, I may well just go to the game and sack off the pre-match antics.

 

I'll probably try Baker Street/Marylebone area first, then may head towards Wembley to see what's cooking around there.

 

If you see me, I'll be the one nursing a pint on my own, wearing a Paddington bear coat.

The question is, how long will it take to get away from Wembley with the transport clag? If we do win I've got to remember I'm staying with my very-aged mum...

 

Depends on a number of factors. If we're 3-0 down with a few minutes to go then not long at all. If it goes to the last minute and you hang around to see either team lift the cup it will be up to 45 minutes to get on a tube.

Just get chatting to any group in red and white stripes, no one is going to be in the mood to tell you to p1ss off

In 1976 I think I stayed on a bit! In 2003 was with friends in a stretch limo and we watched Arsenal lift the cup before hitting the packed roads. [Who remembers the sign in a Saints coach "Cheer up Aresenal, you won"]. This time I'm on my own so who knows what will happen..

First I will have some beers on the train. Then I will have some beers in a pub that is open early. Then I will have some beers in another pub. Finally, there is a third pub. If we win I will go to the pub, but if we lose I will go to the pub. The aim surely is to have 15 beers before kick off, which rules out The Green Man as you can't get served. Also, it will have people wearing replica kits.

Does anyone know if the pubs in Marylebone are segregated? I've got a few United fan mates I wanted to have a pint with before heading up to Wembley.

I have not been able to get a ticket and I plan to watch the game at a pub in Wembley. Is there anyone out there who has the same plan as mine?

 

 

Yeah mate- I'm the same!!! My plan is to soak in that atmosphere then watch the game near Wembley!

I just rang them and I have been told that all the pubs within a mile radius of the stadium will have to shut one hour before KO, and will re-open 15 minutes before the final whistle.
