Yes, they are very strict rules.  Limit of A4 size seems to rule out even a small knapsack.

I hope that my programme bag will be allowed in.

For anyone curious; the Match-Day Programme was £10 for last seasons game between Rotherham and Shrewsbury

If anyone does need a bigger bag for a medical reason they’re really helpful. 

You’ll need to set up an account but it’s easy and I got a certificate within the hour

Will you need a medical cert to take insulin in? If anyone knows that would be great. I have to carry two pens and a blood monitor

As was the FA Cup Final programme on Saturday.

I registered mine just in case. I didn’t need a certificate from the doctors, I just sent them a scan of my last check up appointment letter.

Yes I would apply for a certificate. Just to be on the safe side.

I think the pencil case is small enough

superclive

Pringle

She'll be with me unfortunately.

Not unless it’s less than A4 size. The iPad would be OK. There is a pat down body search after going through the turnstiles.

A leaflet explaining the bag policy comes in the envelope containing the tickets.

For the NFL games, you weren't allowed up the ramps to the Stadium without showing your ticket. No idea if the same applies to these games but if meeting mates to pick up tickets may be best to meet earlier somewhere

I can't see Seb Lewis being allowed in.

Do you need a certificate to take in a pack of special brew. 
If it goes to penalties I might need em.

It'll be Imodium that I need!!

lancashire lad

thought that I had better check and I can take my walking stick in without a medical cert.

Good call. Seb will need some strategic planning.

Am sure he can worm his way out of the situation if need be

Or he could just instruct the Stewards on why one is needed

I spoke to him earlier. He is adapting to the circumstances and has a back up strategy well in place.

Do you have the link to register? Cant see it anywhere. 

Thanks

I received my tickets today, on the back of the ticket it reads you cannot take anything in larger than A4 in size!

All the hassle of getting into a bloody sports stadium I'll not be too unhappy if it's another 21 years before I go back to Wembley again.

You'll be fine I'm sure you're A4 size (just).

Same for an epi-pen? Will fit in a small bag so their guidance suggests I don't need to register it? That true?

For those who took bags, were they strict on size?

It was all a bit of a farce really. We battled through the thousands of the great unwashed on Wembley way and wife got stopped with a carrier bag at the bottom of the slope up to the stadium. Carrying a kid, we then had to empty the whole bag out and carry the items in our hands all the while Sunderland blokes are walking past with carrier bags full of beer cans. Compete waste of time and aggro. Put everything back in the carrier about 20 yards on

Not sure about size (ooh er) but they were strict on searching. Mrs G got carted off much to my amusement for a search. A lady of 'a certain age' so not an obvious candidate.

I told her she was a hooligan.
