If I drink I'll spend half the game pissing or sleeping.

I normally wait until after the game before drinking. If I travel for a game often have a beer before KO. But if there are massive queues I can't be arsed and will wait until later.

Confirmation of the drinking restrictions -

'No-street-drinking zone

Since 2022 Brent Council, and its partners, have enforced a no-street-drinking zone on Olympic Way and the surrounding area for ALL events at Wembley Stadium. This is part of the current Public Space Order Protection (PSPO) in place around the stadium on event days. More information on the order can be found here.

As part of the PSPO, shops and off-licences around Wembley Stadium are also banned from selling alcohol on match days.

Fans caught drinking on Olympic Way and the surrounding streets ahead of the Carabao Cup final will be asked to hand over their alcohol and enforcement action may be considered.

Supporters wanting alcohol before the game should head for the licensed bars or restaurants in the area or make their way to the dedicated fan zones outside the stadium.'

I’m driving down in the morning but will consume copious amounts of Red-Bull etc throughout just to make sure I’m wide-awake & wired for the day ahead!
I really can’t wait for this and am determined to remember every minute of it - come on!!!! Victory is ours for the taking!!!

Always nice to have one or two before the game, though can easily go without and have done for most of this season. And I have to say it's for the better, feel the enjoyment of the game much more and can focus, and most importantly can remember the whole day afterwards.

I've just never got the urge to go for a beer at half time, whats the point in queueing up for that long to only neck an overpriced shit beer in 2 minutes.

I hear that line of thought I just don’t get it. Or if football is secondary perhaps sit in a seat where disturbance to those around you is minimal.

Different seats for different needs.

You may have to change your plans, there is a no drinking zone for outside .They have also warned off licences not to sell alcholl before the game.

Ah what!? I think we were at the park with thousands of other fans last time, were a few shops over the road so was easy access. Has it changed there as well?

Agree with all the comments about the half time drinking (never really understood that bit, given the potential missing second half ko time)

beer before the game, beer at half time, multiple beers if we win, even more beers if we lose

Same. And I can't drink anyway. On too many tablets at the moment.

The doctor also gave me some medication too.
Click to expand...

Same here, Otis. I've been basically teetotal since the late 80s. Was always rubbish at it anyway. I couldn't drink now even if I wanted to as I'm on a fistful of tablets every day thanks to the brush with leukaemia a few years back.

Yeah, all good now, Rob. Been six years, so anything over five is deemed a cure. Still on loads of tablets, regular trips to see consultant at Heartlands, but all good.

In all seriousness if we do end up having a few and you see some debauched drunkards in the corner of Wembley, keep away from us!

No come over come over. Drinks will be on me. In me!

I count myself fortunate as drinking as never been part of my matchday routine. Not even when I started going home and away from 83 onwards.

Wow. That's a grand old age to start going to all the away matches. Good on you!

I will definitely have a few, but I pace myself so as not to be too inebriated to enjoy the game, besides we always score when I head to the toilets, so I'll keep my legs crossed until we really need a goal on Saturday and then bingo.

Definitely having a few, one last blowout for the season.

Gonna try not to end up stuck in the bar after half time though as it made me miss goals in both of the last two Wembley appearances (Thomas and Willis).

I did exactly the same .
I'm thinking it brings luck so might be swayed . Best goals I've ever missed

There are quite a few inexpensive restaurants in Wembley Park
I usually go to one when at Wembley including the two times we were there in recent years
You don't drink so much when eating - and of course they all have toilets to use prior to the short walk to the turnstiles

I’ll have a couple on the train down and before the match but I won’t be getting slaughtered, someone by me at the Brum game the other week was that pissed he was unresponsive and threw up - Never understood why people pay money for a ticket to get so drunk they don’t remember it

I will probably arrive at midday, have lunch and around 4 pints pre-match, after we win; I will do the same afterwards...
