Good idea for one thread for people to offer lift shares / coach or minibus deals etc?

I'm planning on driving there and back on the day. Have booked some driveway parking in Ruislip via Just Park app and will tube it in from there.

The greatest miscarriage of justice since my case against the producers of the Never Ending Story

I’ll be driving from Ellesmere Port so anyone in the North West/North Wales is welcome to jump in for a bit of petrol money. Will leave about 8. My plan is to drive to Croxley then jump on the tube. Did this for an England game a couple of years ago and it worked well.

Looking at hiring an 8-seater minibus/taxi from Manchester. May have room for one more person if anyone is interested.

Do we know where Town fans plan to sup pre-game?

I'll be driving down with my mates. Does anybody know the best way to travel the last few miles to the stadium? Lots of folks are saying park up at Stanmore and get the tube. Given that both Notts and Spireites supporters might use that route any ideas for alternatives? Cheers - a Wembley newbie!

Club coach cost is a disgrace. Why haven't we challenged them and shopped around?

Use ‘Just Park’ drive down and park on a drive near Wembley

Wealdstone FC have opened their fan park for Notts fans only!!!

I suspect it's because of the rail strike - a temporary monopoly. Greedflation is its own pandemic. Am I right in saying they've doubled the price? Truly disgraceful profiteering from someone. What a country we live in!

More than doubled it , think we’ve paid 25 this season to get to london on coach for away games. Notts have managed to source a coach company that’s reasonably priced despite the rail strike. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Anyway I’m gonna stop moaning about it now, I’ve bored myself and no doubt a few others, I’m turning into a wet flannel.

25 miles further to Ruislip than Watford, so 50 miles in total - which could be a tenner in fuel. If you are watching the pennies, that might make a difference, it will be £6.40 to park at Watford Junction...

Stay Home. Stay Safe.

The road the tube or the car park? Give me the m1 to watford versus the M40 anyday, the might be familiarity on my part. Tube might be busy but I'll be heading in early as my son live in wembley, he can offer his old man some hospitality and we might even walk down to Wembley Park for lunch if he is paying
