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.'

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.

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 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.
I did both legs of the semi sober, won't be going through that again.
Forgot about that. Assume all still hopefully good with you.
I will have a few before around Baker St otherwise I'll be a bag of nerves. Wanna enjoy the night celebrating though so won't be going mad before
Is one of your legs going to be drunker than the other for the final?
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.
I dont drink at games infact drink very little.
But as we are the Box Park I might have a couple this Saturday to calm the nerves.
One minute I believe we will win the next not do sure, taking ages for the game to come round.
seems like we qualifyed weeks ago.

Great news. Can't believe it's been that long, although I'm sure you can
What's up with you?Think I might be sober, still touch and go if I will make it due to illness
Not like checkatrade being 6 deep in the queue at the station
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!
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.
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...
