    Thoughts on using a third party agent? Just realised it’s an extra $6-900 for me to book direct with the airline 😐
    Flight Centre has a price beating guarantee. Pop in and talk to them. There's one on Shortland Street (near Queen Street). 

    Cheers mate, these guys must have had sales coaching from you. The advertised price seems to jump 20% by the time you end up settling the bill 😬

    I'll buy you one beer to offset it.

    Got our tickets and a brilliant few days lined up including India - NZ at The Oval on Saturday as my boy is cricket mad. Huge thanks to my mates for sorting Wembley tickets out and now hoping to catch up with as many old faces as possible. I know that despite not being a regular since 2004/2005 - I will see so many familar faces on the day!

    At the last Wembley play off match against Sunderland I was bumping into mates I hadn’t seen at the valley in years,



    mostly on account that they’d been banned...

    Heart won over head. Tickets booked, flights booked, train tickets booked.

    Anyone know any good curry houses around Victoria Station?

    Flights booked this morning from Cork. 
    What flight are you on? We're out with Ryanair at 6.15 am into Stansted and then back with Aer Lingus via Heathrow at 22.15
    Too early for me, takes 90 mins to get to the airport so flying out 10.15 Ryanair into Stanstead Saturday, coming back same route Monday night.

    Currently looking at flights from Vancouver but can’t find anything reasonable so I may just wait til the day before see if there’s any last minute ones. Also have the issue of getting a ticket for the game itself. Any other addicks in Vancouver got any tips?

    This is bringing back memories of ‘98: flew in from The Bahamas with a case of Kalik beer and shared it at the Oak with other International Addicks. Got invited to the after-match celebrations (by Martin Simons??) held in a TV studio around the corner from Wembley and subsequently got to meet all the players and staff and to shake Super Clive’s hand. This time coming all the way from Tunbridge Wells!

    Yes, from a stag in Barcelona. Should land about 8.30am. Find a gym near Victoria for a shower, put back in lockers and get on it.

    Flights booked from Bermuda. I could have bought a small terrace house in Doncaster for what I’ve spent on flights these past 2 weeks! 
    It’s great you’re able to get a return ticket from Bermuda for as little as £2.50.

    My neighbour is flying in on Ryanair Sunday morning to Stansted. Lands 07.40. Do you think he can make the 08.15 train into London?

    In my experience he should have no issue if the flight is on time, but I fly in from Ireland and we don't get checked at customs, so no delay there.

    He would save a little time, and money, by buying the train tickets online.

    Good job B****t hasn’t happened. 
    Careful, or you'll get banished to the House of Commoners and get treated to a long detailed explanation of the various alternative arrangements that may or may not be a viable option if it does.

    Anyone who’s bought tickets from overseas received any kind of confirmation that your tickets will be forwarded to Wembley for collection on the day?
