Travelling by Car to Wembley

Don't let people get you down SBC.

I reckon from Shields it's roughly 5 hours. Just fill up on way there and back.

My advice is to aim for one of the most northern tube stops like Stanmore and tube it from there. No point in battling against the crazy London traffic.

And enjoy your day. You strike me as a typical SAFC fan. Pessimistic as hell in every way.
For Christ sake don’t suggest that we’ll end up with another “how do I buy a ticket on the tube” thread
 
No way - this should be preserved forever!
It’s got a hint of expensive metal about it

There's been the suggestion that he has some form of autism. So now I try not to take the piss even though I so desperately want to :neutral:
I can’t unsee this information and I’m not a complete arsehole all the time. So what I will do is refrain from piss taking in the future, and for decency’s sake on this thread I’m still going to join in and just not aim anything at the opdirectly

Make sure you post what time your leaving as I don't want to get stuck behind you. I recommend staying in the left hand lane all the way down. Keep the right hand lane clear for us with cars that don't have indicators.

I did say years ago he may have autism, tbf though if he does, or if he's a comedy genius, he's threads do liven up this board, either intentionally or unintentionally. I'm sure he's a decent person in real life, just a pessimistic one, and he is one of us after all.
 
To those who are driving down what are everyone's plans (when do you plan on leaving etc) and how do you intend to manage fuel consumption? The last bit I know may sound daft but it is important. I don't want to run out just short of Newport Pagnell.

I am driving down and so far my only plan is to (stupid and perhaps desperate I know) use a coach as a sort of pacemaker. If I keep track of it I know I will get to Wembley in time. I have no idea what time I should be leaving or how many fuel stops I need.

to be honest, if you are not confident, London can be a hell of a place to drive and get to your destination.
it does need some planning, where are you going to park. how to get to Wembley stadium. traffic queues on way back. it took us ages after the league cup final.
google maps from shields to Wembley is 280 miles so 560 return and 4hrs 41 mins journey time each way
if not confident, get a bus down. cost about £50 and you have no worries

I have Aspergers. It doesn’t stop me planning a car journey.
