Travelling by Car to Wembley

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.

I'm not the only one in your defence. I know you don't see it that way but most of the advice on here was well meant.
Some of it was rather shameful at best.

Come find me on the day and I'll have a drink with you

You're a bit different. Most can't decide if you're a genius or not.

Either way I'm claiming you :D

I'm autistic and it just means we have invisible special powers

Just tone down on the kunty tone though... or you'll end up banned as much as me:lol:


He's getting the coach already

Are you stupid mods? Please delete this thread. And whilst your at it ban all those idiots who couldn't take this seriously and chose to bombard me with this shite.

All I ask is what everyone's plans are who intend to drive down and I get this abuse. Typicial SMB. Typical Sunderland supporters. Typical Mackems. Typical North East people. Friendly? Do me a favour!!

My username is based more on this.....

Though if sbc does decide to drive, a bit motorhead could get him there a couple of hours earlier......

@Ginger John sent me a brilliant PM last night. I hope he won't mind me sharing but he did say it was said with my safety in mind. My only fear travelling these-days is the possibility of a crash. Nothing else phases me at any driving journey. It really doesn't. I am confident. I am sensible and responsible so I do not take ridiculous risks like speed or brake any law, and when facing a long car journey I am mindful to take all steps to safeguard my health and well-being by taking regular breaks, turn up the volume on the music (which does help) and maybe buy a tea or bottle of fruit juice to takeout which staves off tiredness as coffee doesn't I believe.

I am of the mindset that how can we know and how can we find out things unless we try? Nothing has ever been achieved or found out not doing anything for the first time.

On September 7 1838 did it deter Grace Darling saying to herself "I have never saved lives before so I don't think I should go out to the survivors of the Forfasrshire"? No. She did it anyway despite it being her first time she and her father saved the lives of 9 people. Four men and a woman in the beginning and then William and three of the men went and saved four more.

Would we have lifted the 1973 FA Cup had Ian Porterfield said "I don't think I should be a footballer because I have never really played the game before"? He did it anyway despite it being the first time and became one of the most loved and famous legends of our club and scored the most famous goal in our history.

Look back at all the big good moments in history (not the bad) be it political or scientific or whatever and imagine a world where the people in it had decided not to do it because they had never done it before and it was the first time.

That is how humans have evolved and developed. Because we have found out and discovered for ourselves whether or not we can do it by doing it anyway despite it being the first time.

I am still open to driving. But at the moment I can see a lot of benefits to taking the coach.

Intriguing.

Just stop over Saturday night somewhere, it's an awful drive, doing it both ways in a day is horrible.

Basically all I had to eat all day was two packets of KP Skips and two biscuits. I didn't buy anything at the service station because I was hoping to buy something at the stadium. But when I got in the place was having with supporters and I could not get in anywhere and was turned away from one or two. I intend to buy something substantial this time round.
