Where is everyone staying? Last 2 times I stayed in the IBIS at Wembley, but decided to stay further out this time - I can't tell you how depressing it was to be sharing a hotel full of jubilant Charlton fans
 
The definitive work on jinxes/curses was in the Valiant, Raven on the Wing when they had to get a 'wise woman to come and lift the hex from the ground/club.

Undisputed fact!

Premier inn hub in Westminster for us, cracking location and only one change for Wembley.
Decided to drive down this time and stay on the outskirts. Did this a few years ago for an England game and was hassle free, rather than traipsing the kids across Central London

Driving down to Elstree, taxi to Canon's Park then 20 mins on the tube down to Wembley. Then, if it DOES go well, we can hang around and get drunk. If the usual Sunderlandy thing happens, we can disappear and drown our sorrows in peace

I drove to Stainmore for the last play off game against Charlton and got the over/underground in to Westminster. It looks a decent place to stay to be fair and is only 4 stops from Wembley, that might be worth looking at mate.

Yeah, either Stanmore or Cannon's Park on the tube. Depends which is closer to the hotel in Elstree. Hotel is just off the A1 so can make a quick getaway on the Sunday morning
My eldest (14) wants to do Trafalgar Square but I've said no. Not yet anyway

You will when it’s confirmed we’re there, it’s too good to miss. :emoticon-0167-beer:

I generally stay at a friend's in West London and drive to a mile or so from the stadium and walk there.
