Blimey, just checked the Boxpark Wembley website and apparently absolute max capacity is 2000.

But the club had part of it for their own use, as well as selected partners etc. That would have reduced the capacity available to regular fans.

it was great fun though.

Not sure my lad will fit in my 1983 Cup Final shirt this time round - he's about the same height as me now, and he's only 12!

Boxpark last time. Got on the telly with this. And Yves even posted it on his twitter and insta.

Spoons Baker Street is where we're heading for.
It was great in there last time.

That’s where we went last time - we intended to go to the Globe but it was rammed full so went to Spoons. Was a great atmosphere in there.

I thought last time punters said it was almost impossible to use the Box Park’s loos. Woefully inadequate in number, huge queues.

Not that I recall……..it was alright. Bit of entertainment, loads of food options and v near the stadium.

Last time we went to Marylebone, quick train to Wembley and loads of pubs

It was, unless you tagged along with Rag’n’Bone Man when he went for a piss. His, ahem, ‘friends’ managed to clear a path through the queuing throngs very easily.

Any Fullers?

Northern line from London Bridge but off before Euston. Some decent establishments and food outlets. Feel an early Sunday roast before heading off.

 

[patchamalbion]

Can’t be dealing with Baker Street this time round, good fun and atmosphere for a bit but nightmare getting served, beer in plastic and only time before a flare goes off in the pub/someone does something silly.

Likely London Bridge/Bermondsey for us I reckon

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Borough Market?

Don't they open at like 06.30 or something crazy like that for the Porters from the market, funnily enough!

 

[W3D]

I think our group are heading for Box Park.

We did Boxpark last time, but not seen any reference to it being a 'Brighton' venue yet.
It ticks a lot of boxes. Drinking in the shadow of the stadium, get there early. No crush on the underground with a bursting bladder

 

[Oh_aye]

there is only one pub in London!

market porter.

be there or be square

see you there at 7 am Sunday

That's where I'll be! Used to live round there for a few years and plenty of good pubs there. Market Porter for a Porter and then jump the Jubilee

 

[Oh_aye]

@Springal You're right about the Jubilee / Metropolitan, but you've got Harvey's! Also, changing to the Metropolitan is dead easy at Finchley Road. Likely to be loads of ManUre getting on at Euston.

When I went to Fulham's playoff final, couldn't get into the designated pub near the ground so ended up at the Fanzone near the ground - was OK actually, although did have my 10yo daughter and her mate in tow.

It's fair to say that all these plans may have to change when London underground throw some cancellations and delay hand grenades into the mix on the day!

I've not been there before, but it certainly appeals as per the reasons you mention, amongst others.

My mate seems to think we'll get it as its apparently designated for fans in the west side of the stadium (which we were last time), and this would also fit with the Plymouth fans having the venue this weekend who are also west side. Crossing fingers.

Is there any news if we have box park again? Do you have to buy tickets separately for this?

No news yet, and I'd expect it to be ticketed again as it worked well last time. I am hoping thesis the case, it would be my preferred pre-match entertainment
