I imagine most people will be around Wembley way, it sounds as though the Green Man is a popular choice.

Personally I’m heading to the same pub in Farringdon I went to last year, followed by the same two pubs, in the same order, I subsequently went to last year and then tubing it over to Wembley with an ale for journey, as I did last year. Not that I’m superstitious.

We just went to the bar outside Euston and by the time we got to the pubs by Wembley they weren't letting any more in. So went to the shop and bought some cans.

Yeah I was sat opposite him with my old man..... took us a while to work out why City fans kept having their photo taken with him before I realised who it was.... he has a very punched looking face.

Fly in Sunday, probably hit Green Man up after a bite to eat. JJ moons for breakfast and to get a few cheap drinks in whilst the food settles. Grab a light lunch before the place gets too rowdy and then over to the Green man to savour the atmo. Then off to the fan zone, meet the lads who have my tickets (hopefully!!)... after that im easy.

So basically eat drink sleep. eat drink eat drink football. Im a simple man really...

Driving down, leaving at 8. Drop the bags in the Hilton head to either the terrace in the hotel or TGI’s early doors for food and manly beers (cocktails) before finding a City pub to soak up the atmosphere. After the game, win, lose or draw back in the Hilton.

Oxford stayed there last season and had booked a function room. Safe to say that when we snuck in, the mood was somewhat subdued. Telling the DJ that ‘gaffers favourite song was’ twist and shout made it all the more sweeter.

Here’s hoping that Exeter do the same!

£4 a pint. The Spoons on Wembley High Road usually has match day prices rather than their usual menu.

Going on the 5pm train on Sunday, drop the bags off and go for a few. Early breakky in a weatherspoons then head to Wembley by about 11ish and just play it by ear at that point. Last time we sat outside a pub drinking cans from an offi with about 100 other people but the weather looks dodgy so it will depend on the day

What was the pub called lot of Cov fans went to after the game - it wasn’t too far from Wembley but was quite small so they were operating a one in/out policy. It was on a corner from memory.

We’ll be in Kilburn from around 0930 and back there afte the match. Whilst the atmosphere around Wembley will be excellent; I’d prefer not to stand 5 deep at the bar waiting to be served.

A friend of mine who is a Utd fan also recommended Kilburn as well. Said it's 10 mins on the Tube from Wembley, loads of boozers and quicker to get served.

No but my bladder has no power at all
I have to go for a pee at HT in case I want one by the time I get there, otherwise I'd be rushing out about ten minutes from the end.

Ticket arrived today. So Monday morning off to the Wimpy on Wembley Way for a big fry up then on to the Green Man then on to the crows nest (block 544). If we..sorry when we lift the trophy I will be back at the Green man for a cheeky triple then head back to Sarf London with a takeaway under one hand and a bottle of red in the other. Then I will sit in front of the telly and watch the recording of our glorious victory. Then I will repeat the same routine when we get to the play offs next year.
