Don’t really think it’s network rails fault to be honest. Those works would’ve been scheduled for a while. Well before the chances of 2 northern teams being in the final became reality. Sky are the issue, don’t want anything impacting on the build up of their premier league coverage even though it’s pretty much done. So they move everything else regardless of the impact on supporters 

I see that but with all the Channel’s Sky have now, including the + Channel, surely they could have screened it without any disruption to their blessed PL shite. They just chose not to and it didn’t matter one jot how it affected the fans.

Tyrers don't have that many coaches and have had to ask around, basically

Absolutely. Not the clubs' fault.. Whoever decided to have a lunchtime kickoff on a Sunday wants a proper shoeing

30 degrees in London on Sunday! Get the factor 50 on chaps.

There will be some tired legs in the last 20 minutes - hopefully bringing on the legs of Gale, Dempsey, [Burstow] will be able to take advantage of it!

Although we are in the shady end this time, unlike our previous 2 visits. Same as difference between being in East and West stand on a sunny day. Bring a jacket, no sunglasses or suncream required!

I noticed Sky aren't even promoting our match on their red hot weekend. Hull v Southampton (it's still saying that), full PL programme then motor cars and golf.

Nightmare trains from here as well, taking nearly 3 hours due to rail replacements AND ive got to change at Gillingham 🙁

If you’re going to change anywhere then rock bottom feels like a good place to start

It is forecast 28 degrees on Sunday I can see our end being a sea of pink.

such a farce

all depends were you are staying 

Hendon, 4 miles north-east of Wembley. But was thinking of travelling more centrally, I’d heard Kilburn, Kings Cross, Euston mentioned. Just wondered where folk on here were headed. Where’s the best big beer gardens to celebrate in the sun!

Obviously if we lose I’m back to the hotel for an early night!

That early kick off will make for a very long afternoon if we lose.  3 of us after Oxford travelled back to our hotel via a pizzeria in complete silence.  Aside from a death in the family I dont think I've ever felt as flat.  Mind you, it was the complete opposite after Plymouth. We practically skipped into the west end for more beer!

Green man is the obvious option, our pub 10 min walk from the ground and massive beer garden 

if your heading central then probably the globe at Baker Street where you can stand outside the front of the pub and its direct to Wembley Park on the tube. 2 stops

If you're doing Kilburn/West Hamsptead area then best two are North London Tavern on Kilburn High Road or The Railway on West End Lane, both close to Jubilee line tube stations

I wouldn't bother with much else round there

We held the globe for the first hour then it all went west and we all got booted out 🤣
