    Which you found yourself doing ‘unintentionally’ some years back, if you remember.

    What actually dd happen with that in the end, Stu? As I remember it, your mate got pinned to an INTERNAL wall/counter of a McDonalds by the son of a party cadre in his flash motor. I hope yoru mate got a hefty pay out for that!

    Ben Tegg (some will know him, CARD, Valley party etc) contacted me this morning. He said he goes to Wembley quite a lot, and reckons the dress code is "No replica shirts but everything else OK". Which I would think reasonable, but is not what other people believe, or fitting what that webpage says in either variant. 

    He also said "You are dealing here with Delaware North - Keohane's old company" .

    I'm giving them another half hour before I get on the blower. 

    @oohaahmortimer sounds like you have exactly the same package and are in the same block as us.

    Wear your Charlton shirt & take another in a carrier.

    When approaching the stadium sling the spare shirt over your arm, or tie round your waist as appropriate & put the empty carrier in your pocket.

    When inside wear either shirt as appropriate.

    OK I actually have a clarification!

    For people like me who have a ticket marked as "Charlton", there are no dress restrictions at all. The lounge, as well as the seats, are segregated.

    As for which lounge, she said she still couldn't tell me until this afternoon as they just finished sale last night (sounds like that means "sold out", btw). When I said to her that my ticket has the word "Venue" on it she seemed blind--sided but confirmed that then that definitely is where we are. And confirmed again no dress restrictions. Full kit wanker it is, then :-)

    Palava...

    Tbf we were in Club Wembley seats for the Joshua fight.
    We were up behind where the goal would be.
    The fighters were a mere dot on the horizon.

    We, I say we, me a mate and our other halves are also in Club Wembley seats for The Spice Girls in 3 weeks time.
    Hopefully, they too will be a mere dot on the horizon. 
    Baby Spice should never be a mere dot.
    'Baby' Spice is now 43 years old!
    & still a proper sort...😍

    Yes, that's exactly what happened, he got a fair amount of money, delivered to him in cash, he was then told he had to hand almost all of it over to the hospital, so he got on the next flight out of China with all his money. He can never return and now teaches in Spain.

    Didn’t Maccies compensate him in any way?

    No, not at all, wasn't really their fault either, can't plan for a drunk driver flying into your shop.

    I realise it wasn't their fault but thought they might have looked after him in some way or another.....a bit of good PR wouldn’t have gone amiss.
    Even something simple like some gift tokens would have been a decent gesture.

    Received this From club Wembley.

    We look forward to welcoming you to the Sky Bet League One Play-Off Final on Sunday afternoon. Charlton Athletic will play Sunderland for the chance to be promoted to the Championship.

    This fixture is a repeat of the dramatic 1998 Division One Play-Off Final, which ended 4-4 with Charlton winning on penalties, ensuring promotion to the Premier League.

    This will be Sunderland's second performance at Wembley this season, after they lost the thrilling Checkatrade Trophy Final against Portsmouth back in March.

    As always in Play-Off matches there is sure to be nerves, tension and excitement. We can't wait!

    You will find some important information below including the stadium's restricted bag policy, itineraries and the weather forecast.

    Please ensure you and your guests are aware of the Wembley Stadum Restricted Bag Policy.

    Kind regards,
    The Club Wembley team

    Who told you? That is definitely not what they told me on the phone, as I wrote yesterday. If you have your ticket, check the T&Cs. Unless there is something written there to that effect, or you have another piece of paper they sent you, that says that, you can ask them to point to where in the T&Cs it restricts such clothing, and they cannot, you can invite them politely to enjoy sex and travel.

    Theya re a shower. I still haven't got the email that "Charlie" wrote me to expect. Fortunately it was Charlie I spoke to on the phone and she confirmed no restrictions.

    Hmm, well there it is in writing I guess. To be fair to "Charlie" she knew that I was not in the Bobby Moore so she was able to confidently state that it didn't apply to me. It looks like the Bobby Moore has a specific role which justifies a more restrictive approach.

    Private boxes, now that's where @AFKABartram should direct his ire. I mean , you've hired a complete box, and they tell you what you can wear? WTAF? 

    Maybe time to resurrect the story of the only time I was in one of these poxy boxes. It was our last game at Selhurst,  after the Valley Party success and the agency let me take a box to entertain footie friendly clients. In those days drinking in the ground was streng verboten, yet when we got in the box, we found a fridge. And it was full of lager. So after discussing this anomaly for a minute or two we shrugged and opened a few cans. Almost immediately we heard the sound of jackboots outside and a female steward stomped in to tell us that drinking during the game was streng verboten. We wondered how she sussed us, and then we noticed that stewards on the touchline had their eyes trained on the boxes.  So some of us resorted to crouching on the floor to take a swig.

    At half time I told this to Ben Tegg, who was then only 18 but already well versed in these matters. "you idiot" he said, "What do you think the teapot is for?" I looked at him blankly. "Below the sight line of those muppets, empty beer into the teapot. Pour into the teacups. Enjoy..."
