    Just looking at logistics for when we get to London on Saturday as we will be getting there at about 11 (might leave an hour earlier to be sure). Hotel is 30 minutes walk away from Edmonton Green station followed by a 30 minute journey to Oxford Circus. We want to head to the Argyle for a beer or two, they are making an effort for us fans after all.

    What time will people be leaving for Wembley?

    A poster, from here, is coming to the Argyll and currently booking flights for him and his lovely lass.

    Someone just found him two corporate tickets at £520 each so that’s quite an effort …

    … the club are releasing them erratically but they may be shuffling tickets with Sheff Utd who just can’t sell theirs.

    I’ve posted this earlier as a guide but the service is quite regular …

    … I’d like to do a bit of Wembley Way stuff so will probably do that and back to the pub after the game.

    Great that you're coming <cheers>

    Booking is better as it’s a shopping day on Oxford Street.

    Some have already booked for 12.30, the more’s the merrier and it’s probably cheaper than Wembley Salmonella Burgers <laugh>

    If anyone wants to eat let me know and I’ll reserve with Sophie, cheers

    You are on my list so that's great news mate, so pleased for you.

    I only have two more people, on here, then half a dozen I'd love to help.

    One lad is coming up from Devon, with his 13yo on Friday, and coming to the Argyll ...

    ... that's quite an effort hoping for tickets, our support is incredible.

    Good look mate, cant imagine the effort you are putting in. Hope your phone is charged.

    I have a mate in the agents world who has come up with 6 in a box. He isnt even Sunderland but I coached his lad and he always tries to look after me. I know 4 of us who are going, and he is waiting on an ex player. I have told him if he is struggling I can ask you mate. Fingers crossed.

    You've earned that, people respect those who look after their kids.

    I have someone who's son is coming from Newcastle, in fact @marcusblackcat is bringing him down.

    It's Dave Ashfield*, from Devon, who I think would take your space if it comes up.

    If you can add me to your list for a possible 2 please Smug that would be very much appreciated. My daughter has managed to get someone to cover her shift this weekend (which wasn't easy as she's a fire fighter) and she's now travelling down with her fella regardless of ticket or not and I'll be meeting her down there.

    She doesn't care if they're together or not, she would just be ecstatic to be able to go.

    Appreciate it's late on now and I'll be bottom of your list but as she'll be travelling anyway then anything last minute will do as well.

    Fortune favours the brave mate, if you're there you might just get lucky.

    I've only ever failed to get in once, over 50 years, Villa away when we needed to win and 10,000+ turned up.

    I've just managed to help one more person with a ticket and one with a cheap train from Durham ...

    ... so you never know.

    Take my number and message me.
