    I’m an idiot. It’s on the Saints website…

    There's a seat map on the club website: Southampton vs Leeds | Southampton FC Official Site

    On my various previously trips to watch football at Wembley, I've always sat in level one. So I thought I'd try out level two tickets when I got mine earlier.

    This popped up on my facebook page, if anyone is interested.

    The Barrel and Corner pub.

    Hi all I hope you don’t mind me posting, congratulations on reaching the final!

    So.. we are a family run, traditional, no nonsense community boozer in Wembley. 15/20 minute walk from the stadium, located perfectly away from the crowds & chaos!

    My father, who owns the pub.. was born in Dibden Purlieu! He says he is a Donegal man but he is as plastic as they come!

    Just wanted to let yous know we are here, lot cheaper & less crowded than basically anywhere in Wembley. We’re waiting with open arms.

    A few things about us…

    We will have a Southampton playlist playing your match day songs LOUD ALL DAY! 100% only pub who do this!

    ⚪️We are showing the game live for those without tickets (most venues don’t)

    We can accommodate for coaches & mini busses to park up until you’re on the way back.(Message directly please)

    ⚪️Free entry (some others charge)

    Some pubs shut just before kickoff & don’t open after.. not us!

    ⚪️15/20 min walk from the stadium, avoid the long queues, extortionate prices & be confident you will be with genuine supporters from your community.

    On that note… We always aim to offer the most competitive pricing on match days compared to other Wembley pubs and do: £6 a pint (a pound more than usual to cover extra staff & bouncers, not looking for a quick payday, just customers who will come back)

    ⚪️We will be cheering you’s on all day, and on another note… f**k anyone who isn’t!

    We are open until LATE!

    We do not take bookings, it is first come first served. We have 8 TV’s including 3 outside in a brand new heated terrace.

    Anything I can do to accommodate please feel free to get in contact via Messenger.

    ⚪️⚪️
    PS! If anyone brings in any spare tops to lend I’ll make sure the staff will be wearing them as official uniform for the day..
    ⚪️⚪️

    I'm thinking of going in level 3 opposite the main stand. Think it's only a very recent change for tickets on that level to go to supporters.

    Will depend on what's left when I buy Monday.

    I feel like we have always been in the west end at new Wembley? JPT, league cup final, fa cup semi final v Chelsea… Not sure about the hardly attended Covid semi v Leicester.

    I think we might mean the same level. I've just realised that the above map refers to five levels - but I think of Wembley as three levels (and so does their own website).

    I went block 235, which I guess is level 3 in the above map.

    I went for Block 133. I'd made my peace with paying £82 to be in the lower, central area but then noticed the area just a bit higher was safe standing and £67 instead, so went for that. This next week is going to go soooooo slowly...

    Those who booked online today, how smooth was it?

    Was it a case of log in, queue virtually, then select tickets and pay?

    Have to hope there's some left at lunchtime on Monday :/

    Any recommendations for parking near Wembley that isn't actually at Wembley? Got a coach for the league cup final but thought I might drive this time.

    Train tickets booked!

    One benefit of being partially deaf is that I can get a disabled persons railcard that gives me ⅓ off any ticket. Another benefit I have is that I board at Bournemouth, so don't have the bedlam of Southampton Central/Parkway/Winchester and have a nice comfortable seat already :)

    London return from Bournemouth, 1st class with railcard £42!

    Need to make sure I get the Football ticket tomorrow now :)

    Will be hovering over my phone on Monday morning. Over 35,000 allocated so should be alright I reckon.

    Wasn’t all that bothered about going before the play offs started. Then I though, “Saints vs Leeds at Wembley, it doesn’t get much bigger than that.”

    A chance to make up for the heartbreak of the Carabou Cup Final or whatever it was ****ing called, and that FA Cup Semi against Chelsea

    And the semi against Leicester in the covid season where the players didn't turn up, and the fans couldn't.

    A particular low point for Saints fans, made tolerable only by virtue of not having been there to witness it.

    Yeah it's a old club Wembley level isn't it? Only half seems to be restricted now.

    ****ing better well be alright as I'm buying Monday too despite qualifying now :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Pretty sure we will be fine though. More than 10k available for non-STH and I think it'll be non members where it gets dicey.

    Another question - I have my Dad, his wife and my mate as 'friends and family' can I buy all theirs at once too (we all qualify tomorrow as ST holders). We want to sit together and didn't want to log in separately
