Download 'Citymapper' - it's superb for the tube in London.

 

But if not then i would suggest getting the Bakerloo line from Piccadilly Circus to Baker Street. Then change and get the metropolitan line from Baker Street to Wembley Park. Should take 45 minutes or so

Big thanks both.....

Busy week at work this week. Just packing for the London weekend and got excited about the game for the first time this evening. Gonna be goals, I think.

Anyone know much about pre match build up/entertainment around the ground? 

 

Taking my 4 year old with me and looking to get down earlish to get him sorted, wasn't sure if their was stuff going on around the ground before?

For those of you too young to remember back 15/20 years our support at Wembley used to be fantastic.

 

A huge roar

Balloons, thousands of balloons,

 

ticker tape, flags,

noise and standing 

painted faces and hats

we have history at Wembley 

now we're back.

 

So get shredding your newspapers

go fetch some balloons

and turn Wembley blue 

like we did all those years back

roaring on the boys.

 

 

See the balloons and flags.

C'mon Leicester.

although i decided i was a bit too old for facepaint/blue hair spray this time around....i'm just off outside to wash the car so I can hang my scarves out the windows on the way down without them getting covered in the layers of crap on it (hasnt been washed for weeks).

anyone doing ticker tape/balloons?

Ha ha, yes, I won't be painting my face this time round either. Balloons and tikka tape are a must though.

Looking forward to Wasyl/Huth v Fellaini aerial battles.

Aren't Huth & Fellaini suspended?

[foxinsox]

Anyone know if Musa's work permit is through?

I don't think their suspension counts for this game. Final game of their bans are next week I believe. 

[Spiritwalker]

Got my flag and wig, no balloons though.

Stopping down there Sunday night, can't wait.

[BlueBoy1]

Can't wait. Let's stand and sing our hearts out. I'm like a 5 year old on Xmas eve!!

That's a great read... I was 10 years older than you in 92, but the pain was no less... The following 6 Wembley visits were no less eventful. Hoping for some happy memories tomorrow as I take my son to his first match!
