My "Wembley" plans....

Obviously can't go, so will spend the Friday night with a mix of watching Super Dan Ballards goal from every angle, again, watching fan videos of it...anything to do with that game really.
There should be a live stream of Trafalgar Square, so will watch that as well.
Added to reading through the excellent match thread on here by @RTB, who has done us proud all season, that will set me up nicely for the Satuday.
Saturday will more than likely be a repeat of Friday, then watch the match and cheer the lads on from wintery Consett.

Then off out with the Mrs to see a Free/Bad Company tribute band in Blyth.

To all those going, hope you all have the best weekend ever.
 
This is the message I had from Sophie at the Argyll.

Dear Smug,
Thank you for getting in touch.
We would be delighted to have you back, and I really appreciate the heads up!

I have been told most of you will probably be outside, weather permitting, but did you want an area booked for those who would like to eat before the game? You will not all fit in one area, but I thought this could be handy to have some tables available.
Same question applies for after, if you do know what time you will be back we will happily reserve something for you!

Many thanks,
Sophie
 
I opted for Wembley official parking in the end. Done it before- it’s easy / convenient so will likely be looking for a pub close to Wembley.
 
Do we have any idea where people may be meeting on the Saturday before the match? Think we might just head to covent garden for a bit and see how it goes.
 
Just had this message if anyone's interested, @Whittylad perhaps?
Hahaha brilliant. Had it sent to me the other night. :emoticon-0136-giggl

"Anyone interested in a helicopter flight to London for the Championship Final?
We need one more person to accompany our small group of 3.
We leave early on Saturday morning 24th of May (about 10) from the Riverside Sports Ground at Chester le Street, straight down to land at Northolt but we’ll take in some sights on the way, maybe York Minster, or follow some of the coaches down the A1 for a laugh, we’ll fly alongside.
We already have a car sorted to take us straight to Covent Garden, they’ll take our bags to the hotel and we’ll get them later.
Preferably we’d like someone with a helicopter and 4 tickets for Wembley otherwise we can’t go."

What time are you meeting at the Argyle and is it teenager friendly? Not sure what the others are doing and I'll be in town early with my 13yr old lad.

Definitely a teenager friendly pub mate, the outside has tables and chairs plus a wide street so loads of room.

I'll be eating there so will plan to arrive around 10am at the latest.

This might be my new plan. Everyone I'm meant to be meeting up with etc keep changing their plans.

Going to make this a weekend to remember for the boyo!
