    It's saturday night with a bank holiday monday I can't see the traffic being too bad except for football fans. If you can manage it I would recommend waiting a hour or two. The restaurants nearby shouldn't be as full after the match.

    **** knows how, it's only a few miles, it never normally takes more than half an hour.

    I have always found Stanmore to be really good two pubs opposite each other and the train station a 5 minute walk, parking is mainly street parking with a good 25/30 minute walk to pubs, there is a small car park at station if you arrive early enough otherwise you have people letting you park in their drives for £15. The only problem this time is many Wednesday fans will also be heading to Stanmore so be there early. I think the train journey was around 20 mins

    Not exactly anything to do with parking but in 2008 I got the train from Marylebone to Wembley Stadium station and there were no queues or anything admittedly I didn't leave the pub until 2.30 pm but I still got there for kickoff.

    Stepdaughter going to Paris next weekend so I was worried about our two dogs (Rocky and Pebbles) and thought they might have to go to Wembley with us but I've been able to arrange somebody to look after them.

    I've parked at Ickenham railway station on all three visits. Train to Wembley takes about 20 minutes. Possibly not much use if you're coming from Hull. I go down from Preston and it's easy.

    Done Watford Junction to Wembley Central twice on overground Railway and Stanmore once using tube. Always managed to find free parking nearby those stations and got away no problem to the A1. Only problem I had was getting from A1 to Stanmore as very congested approaching planned turn-off to A41 and ended up going via Elstree, very posh area, with no sat nav only a normal car atlas.

    You're going to suffer some ridicule for the size of your sheds there Peter.

    Might sound like a remedial question but how far from Wembley Central station is the stadium?

    I'm thinking of driving to Hemel Hempstead and getting the train from there.

    I can manage to get in but it's not so easy getting out
    The dogs used to go in them when we wanted to park the car because we would give them food to lock them in there while the garden gate was open

    I usually go to S Ruislip. 3 or 4 stops to Wembley, cheap enough to park at weekend, easy to get out of and heading up north too.

    Same, and the trains go to Wembley Stadium station which is very close to the, err, stadium. Daytime frequency is hourly, so time your journey carefully.
