Travelling by Car to Wembley

[ShieldsBlackCat2015]

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’ll be putting petrol in then when the little fuel light comes on I’ll put some more in.

If you keep within 3 feet of the rear of the coach it will reduce the drag on your car and improve your mpg.

But make sure the coach is actually going to Wembley first. You could end up in Newquay with the old codgers.

I’ve literally told you how I intend to manage a journey in a car. If you don’t like that, that’s not my fault.

Because they know the intellectual level of people like you. Now I know better.

any system needs to include oil, water, tyre pressure, petrol, screenwash and a tin of boiled sweets imo mate

If you are planning on following a coach, make sure it’s one that’s going to the game! Otherwise, you just don’t know where you will end up.
One full tank of petrol will easily get you there with plenty to spare.
Give yourself at least 6-7 hours. Better to be too early than too late. M1 is crap but generally not too bad on a Sunday.
