On the midday seagulls travel coach from Central Brighton, however long it takes to get there.

Into the ground at 3ish, seat by 4.30 ish and see what's going on

Reading this Baker St pre game seems to be the area of choice. Train departs Doncaster at 10.25. Probs head for beers at Baker St until about 3.30ish

I’d really avoid. Just saying from experience. You’ll be treated 2nd class, ages to get drink, queues for station, police looking for trouble etc. Globe still the only pub I’ve seen a police horse inside of, back in the day. It’s where the Wembley first timers go hence crowded. If do go, pick something up from off license and stand outside with the throngs. Easier. Sure be a cracking atmosphere all said and done but don’t expect to just pop in / pop on to the tube.

Fair enough. Where would you suggest to start building the pre game atmosphere with a few beers? Travelling from Donny obviously but the tube does make London so easy to get around.

Did the barman say why the long face?

The atmosphere outside the Globe will be brilliant I’m sure; but the Met have always viewed as a hot spot so expect attention and overtly fussy ‘you can’t hold a pint beyond this line’ type surveillance and who knows, with alcohol, tempers might even get a bit frayed. Plus the queues to just get inside and to bar are always enormous on match days at Wembley. Depends if you don’t mind waiting eg 20mins to get a drink and then likely in a plastic pot with no room to swing a cat. Hence a sneaky tin and stand outside if you just want atmosphere and drink without the hassle. But Coming into Euston or Kings Cross, I’d be tempted to head to Marylebone Hight Street pubs just bit further up from Baker Street. Several suggestions already on this thread and you’ll be treated like an adult!

Lol! Why I’ve missed that obvious gag in all my years...frankly I feel humiliated. Well played Sir!

Will coming through Kings Cross. I assume majority of City fans will be coming in through Euston. Marylebone High St sounds like a better chance of a decent pint, and a decent atmosphere. Cheers for the advise.

...and of course, your club expects you to crack open the first tin at 10.25 on the Donny express! Sure plenty of Albion and City will be aboard and the bar be drained well before Rugby. Enjoy!

Yup of course. My fellow travel partner and Albion fan is my son 16 year old. Can see he will be looking after me later in the day. Train back up north aint until 10pm, bless him.

Don't be daft. It was a horse in a bar, not Celine Dion!

Globe and alsop arms.

plane lands Stansted 7.15 ... Arrive London ca. 9.00am ... Full English ... Go to The Globe for opening time.. (when does it open?) Anyone know where i can get the best breakfast near The Globe?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Land tea time Friday. Having dinner and a few drinks Friday night. Going to go for a short run around my old stomping ground in Camden Saturday morning. Lunch with [MENTION=12187]Uter[/MENTION] who is travelling up from Hove then head over to Wembley for around 15:30 I think.

I’m staying in the area-ish and I’ll be in need of breakfast as well, I’ll let you know if I find anything from my research.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Weeks ago booked in a the Premier Inn, £110 a night and could cancel up to 24 hours before! So rock up there and check in at 2 p.m. and stroll over for 3 p.m., show the kids around the outside, guessing gates open around 3.30-4 p.m. and pop in and pay £8 for just over a pint of Heineken!

 

[Napper]

Unsure why a few seem worried about the crowds globe etc.

The busier the better in a way. Lots of singing and boisterous behaviour.

Certainly the Globe and particularly the Green man will be good for that.

Getting served is what it is.

The ivy cafe Marylebone does a very good selection. £13.50 for a good full English about 5 min walk away
