Driving down and staying in Rickmansworth which is on the underground line to Wembley. Anyone else around there? Any locals with recommendations for food/pubs? 
 

Going down in Saturday and back on Monday. 

 

Am about 30 mins from there, nice place, alot of decent pubs, a weatherspoons also there that doesn't attract the wrong type. Also short tube or cheap Uber from Watford which will be full of mags and has plenty bars.

I've had to cancel a course I was due to attend. It would have been fun, but no way am I travelling out of the region and throwing myself about all day in a place with no telly when we have a chance of silverware. 

 

Probably still just watch it in the house like, or my local.

With enough arse-kissing I could get my hands on some sexy free PIF box tickets for this but I’ve got a fucking board meeting in and around the same date. Gutted.

 

Fuck going to a toon game in a suit anyway tbh. (Copium :( ).

I live in London but will be travelling to Newcastle to watch the game. Why would people travel to London to watch it, if you have no ticket? Pubs central London typically £7 - £8 a pint, trains are knackered and accommodation expensive. Was going to come home this weekend but postponed it now, til cup final week.

Soak up the atmosphere. Trip away with the lads etc etc? Probably the exact reason you're coming to Newcastle but in reverse!

Headed with my friends, family, all the people who I go to home games with and enjoying somewhere different to drink/eat irrespective of getting a ticket? 

 

And Newcastle isn't cheap these days either, around £6-£7 for a decent pint too.

Maybe a daft question and done before so apologies - do we have a concise list in London of places where us without a match ticket will be enjoying the pre match, match and possible after the match fun, for full on fan atmosphere?

I dont know what I'm doing. What I'd love to do is watch it in some cosy country pub out in the wilds that has about 6 people in that aren't interested in it but be able to get back into the city centre within half an hour if we won or stay in my cosy isolation if we don't.

Does anyone know if the NUSC fanzone at the Green Man will be showing the match, or is it just a pre-event? Realistically I've got no chance of a ticket, but I'd love to watch next to the ground in the company of others.

Always enjoyed a visit to that big pub (The Griffin?) next to the station when going somewhere (normally in the north west like Blackburn) via Carlisle.

Was in the Griffin on Friday night. Watch Blue star occasionally and got a bit of an away day curse. Usually it's the weather getting the game off after I've booked trains. This time they were scheduled to play Carlisle City. The weather's fine I thought, then the floodlights were knackered :(. Anyway I'd roped the wife into staying overnight and digs were paid for so we just went over for a night out.

Quite enjoy that strip of bars on Botchergate, round the corner from the station. Two "Spoons" within about 50 yards of each other.

I think all pubs within a mile of Wembley are prohibited from showing the game and are banned from selling peeve an hour before until an hour after. Unless things have changed - this came in after the Euro's fiasco in an attempt to stop fans without tickets congregating around Wembley.

 

If I didn't have aticket I'd go round baker street or kings cross both be full of Geordies
