Play off final - Travel plans

Driving down Thursday. Staying in Slough.

Probably have pre match drinks in Paddington

Driving back on Sunday

 

Been a couple of year since I have been down the big smoke. Still need a card for the tube and that or just debit card ?

 

Officially zero trains available on Saturday evening now. Hope the companies increase the options.

Driving down to Elstree then cab/tube to Wembley. Did something similar for an England game a few years back and was far better than travelling through central London with 2 kids in tow (as I did for the Checkatrade and Play Off Final in 2019)

 

Train down on Friday, back on Monday.

Comfort Inn, Edgeware Road. 5 minutes walk to Baker Street station then tube to Wembley Park. Praying I can get 2 tickets for me and the bairn. If not, I'll be finding a bar and watching it there.

The bairn has been harping on about going to Wembley again for 3 months, so I might take her to sample the atmosphere if we can't get tickets.

Hopefully we will get 50-55k allocated.

 

Beer garden any good mate? Might be shorts n shades day.

 

Debit card - flash it at the start end end points of your journey

 

Am wondering what the EFL's take on this is. Wycombe get 5,000 for home games, so lets say they can sell 20k for all the hangers on. Do the EFL then give us 65k tickets (assuming some will be corporate bollocks)? or would that be seen as an unfair advantage?

Desperate to get a ticket for my old man (non-sc holder, non-purchase history) so am hoping we can either buy more than 1 OR it goes to general sale

 

Just make sure you use the same bank card. Speaking from experience.

 

Surely they'll want the best atmosphere there, as it's a good advertisement for the league. Wembley will want a full stadium too. Allocating 20,000 Sunderland, 20,000 Wycombe for fairness and 40,000 with no affiliation to either would be crazy. I'll be disappointed if we get allocated less than 45k.

 

Debit card fine, but use the same one through the day. If you start journey on one card and return on another can get charged more.

 

Same. Next is how the club go about splitting it up. What do we have, 25k season card holders? The rest will be on BCP or purchase history I guess? No ****ing Walsall tickets this time around

 

Good to know.

 

President Khans transport system will accept any card these days.

 

Caledonian travel are on Facebook offering a 2 day package for £129, if anyone is looking for alternatives.

 

Likewise looking for two tickets if anybody can help travelling from Northampton

 

Hoping there will be a few tickets going on general sale. All depends on our allocation + how many tickets each season ticket holder will be entitled to- will it be 1 ticket per season card holder???

 

Anyone driving down from the West Rooch and I stayed at a Premier Inn in Beaconsfield ( just off the M40), half mile walk to the station left the car at the Inn train direct to Wembley about a 40 minute ride, it was dead easy and there's lots of parking at the station.
Only drawback this time is WW fans will be using same route.
Can't go as son in law is coming over to refurbish our en suite and only had that weekend available so it's Sky Tele for me. Good luck everyone.

 

Had train and hotel booked for weeks, Friday to Monday long weekend!
