    Having looked into travel... Will probably go from Strood to London Bridge in the morning, jump on the Jubilee Line and head straight to Wembley Park (Arriving around 11:30)

    Grab some lunch in that London Designed Outlet place where there are a couple of places (depending on how busy it is if others have the same idea of arriving so early) - Once done will walk up to the Green Man most like for a few beverages before returning to Wembley about 2:30

    Want to make sure Im ready to go and in my seat well before the players come out of the tunnel
    Don’t buy anything that is in a bag bigger than A4. Not allowed in ground!

    Train from York at 08:56 into Kings Cross just after 11 then trying to find my cohorts in Finchley Road. Can anyone tell me how long that usually takes? The tube bit that is.
    Should take about 15 minutes on the tube.

    Driving from Lewisham to Hornchurch about 9am. Tube from there to Wembley. Tube back to Hornchurch after the game, then drive to a hotel somewhere in the sticks near Brentwood.

    Why oh why do people not check the date of the League 1 play-off final before arranging their weddings?! Ridiculous.
    Why arrange a wedding I say.

    Your not chancing south eastern then 
    No f#*king chance! I'm a bit concerned about getting the train to work this week. Would be just typical if the 8.15 from St Johns on Wednesday morning gets stranded due to a points failure at Lewisham and I end up stranded halfway between New Cross and London Bridge for 5 days with only the Toolbox to look at.

    I have booked a parking spot 10 minutes away using park on my drive. The advantage is, generally you miss the match traffic!

    Random question, but anyone know if the coaches have a toilet on board?  Know the normal coaches don't but sure I read they'll be double deckers?

    Absolutely, don't fancy ages getting out of Wembley and then hour and a half afterwards after a few beers!!

    Seems the easiest/cheapest journey but I'd pay extra to be able to take a piss!

    Let me know if that’s the case on Friday and I’ll get my dinghy out to stage a mercy mission.

    Yes, I've told them to carry to the turnstiles a massive rucksack full of alcohol, flares and joints, and to wear T shirts promoting rival mobile phone operators to EE
