Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Won’t be pointless if someone avoids getting lifted by the coppers for boozing on the st sat near the stadium, which is what I saw happening. Tbh though the lads looked worse for wear and I don’t know if they’d been warned etc. I wouldn’t have thought the coppers will just lift someone without considering everything that they have to deal with. Anyway the boozers don’t have the capacity for 50k never mind more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skamp Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 Against Hull, we were openly supping from tins in the restricted zone. I spoke to a copper who said that if we were quiet and peaceful he's happy to look the other way. Get larey and I'd not get to see the game. Common sense goes a long way in an overcrowded area.

Might bump into you as we will be getting the train thru Watford Junction - one option for us is to change there and get the Southern train though 2nd option I can go as far as Harrow and Wealdstone on another and then the Overground to Wembley Central. Just for info really if for some reason the traffic is bad on the M1 below Jn 15, or worse a closure (no repeat please of 1993 please when Junction 10 to 9 was closed) then you can cut across to MK or Leighton Buzzard and get the train to Watford.

Isn’t the fan zone “limited capacity”? With one of the Wednesday pubs being boycotted (hopefully) and the others not so big, I’m wondering if there’s a chance you get to the fans zone, it’s full, and the only realistic option is inside the ground. Central London until as late as practicable seems the best option to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went in the one our side in 2016 - my young was only 12 then so it was a better option for me to grab a beer and him a Lemonade 7 years on said young one is now planning the beers before we get the train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
