Where to sit?
I recommend to those sitting in the lower tier to sit as high up as possible.
I sat on row 20 I think it was and spent the whole match up and down like a yo-yo because the people on rows 1 to about 5 struggle to see the bottom end of the pitch (I imagine it will be worse with the goals in the way as well) and so constantly stand as soon as the ball goes over half way.
If I was going on my own I’d sit at the front of the top tier, but as I’m going in a group I’ve given my recommendation to them.
The seats have plenty leg room but as I said, unless you fancy standing for 90 minutes then try to get as high as you can.
Where to drink?
I’m not sure what the police will opt to do regards drinking establishments so the best bet is to probably just go onto the ground. The prices are pretty extortionate but the concourse is HUGE and so you’ll have no problem finding yourself a good spot near the betting kiosk, beer kiosk and toilet. I imagine the atmosphere will be pretty good as well so you should have no worries there.
For the rugby I did go to a local social club about 5 minutes walk from the ground but as I say, I’m not sure what the police will do as we’re on the other side of Wembley so not sure if we’ll be able to head that way.
IF we are then head UNDER Wembley Way and follow the stadium round until you come to an access road (shown on the map as Royal Route), head down there and turn right at the end, then you’ll find St James’ Social Club across the road about 50 yards down.
Where’s my coach?
When you get off the coach at the stadium, I suggest turning right and heading past all the ones parked infront of you counting each one. Then count the number of rows to the ground. Sounds simple I know, but simply remembering the car park nunmber you’re on (do that as well) didn’t appear to work for 90% of the people on the coaches I ran to the rugby as my phone was constantly ringing asking where we were parked.
So basically note, the car park, coaches across, coaches down.
EG : C – 5 – 3
:)
I sat on at the back of the top tier when I went to Wembley and it was like looking at ants, the atmosphere was good and we could see everything on the pitch but we didn’t feel part of it if that makes sense.
