Way too late!! I'll be there for around 11ish and I'm worrying whether I'll get in!!

11 should be fine since it's a 4.45 KO. I've managed to get in every time, had to queue a bit one time though.

I'm getting into London for 10, might aim to get there a bit earlier then.

Been there for both new wembley games and I don't recall them denying people entry? I might be wrong but I remember people naturally leaving when it was too busy not security denying people entry

With it being a later kick off I reckon anyone getting to the green man before 12 should be fine, I just hope they have more toilets than when we were last there!

They are charging because it used to be chaos back before tickets.

Obvs could have done free tickets but it's so oversubscribed they are always going to make a few quid

It's basically a giant Dhillons with better food and entertainment such as ex players, etc.

Black Horse, Wembley, Pub in Wembley | Ember Inns we went here before the league 2 POF. Was good amount of city but not ridiculously busy and fairly priced for London. Big garden as well.

Also worth remembering there were thousands more City fans with tickets that day. I still expect it to fill up early.

We’re getting the coach down to the coach park, anyone know of or can recommend pubs? I’ve done the green man the last 2 finals but hearing it’s £7 in

We went to BoxPark before the Women’s EURO final. Decent atmosphere but long queues for the bar. I’ll be having beers somewhere then likely heading straight into the ground as easy to get a beer inside and they’ve closed down on-street drinking.

Not quite. Just for England World Cup games.

Boxpark is brilliant. Some of the best food in London.

No chance. They charge about £4.50 non-matchdays.

Closed down on street drinking ……what because people will be less drunk paying fucking stupid prices after being herded where authorities want them ….fuck em.
Fill your small water bottles with gin/ vodka and tonic etc and bypass the grabbing pricks !

Yes. Good pub. Will probably be there at some point after the game too. Then maybe a visit to Montys for some grub.

I reckon Kilburn High Road would be a good place to booze tbh, loads of pubs and approach Wembley from the opposite side to most

I think if you're not in a Cov allocated Wembley pub by 13:00 you'll struggle to gain access. Best to drink further out then soak the atmosphere about 1 hour or so before KO

It's shit you can't just buy some cans and stand about. Was decent the last couple of times.

All they'll do is ask you to get rid of it. If someone refuses or gets mouthy, fair cop. Like Nick said, no Police is gonna be arsed spending a hot afternoon repeatedly asking thousands of people who are probably causing no harm to throw their tins away.

Obviously haven’t been there since then, but given how close to disaster the Euro 2020 final was, I doubt the police are messing around outside Wembley these days.

It was pretty horrible outside the ground. Took the family to the WEURO final, including BoxPark pre-match, and it was a lovely experience; wouldn’t have wanted them at the men’s final. Unfortunately morons spoil it for everyone as the earlier EURO matches were brilliant on Wembley Way, particularly Germany (albeit with reduced numbers due to Covid).

People try it at England games and trust me the police are all over it.
