I'm also a londoner but i suppose I have enough irish blood to counter balance the moodiness on a match day after a few beersGuilty as charged. I'm a Londoner as well, so I'm double moody.
If any **** starts doing a Mexican fucking wave, I'm going home.
Is it an option for you to drive? at least that way your son can sleep in the car if neededquick question - did anyone use Wembley Stadium station to get home after the Monaco match?
If you stayed for the final whistle, What were the waiting times like?
(i'm not keen on waiting over an hour to get on at Wembley Park as my son was shattered last time)
Cheers
I thought the atmosphere was pretty dead against MonacoI'm not a fan of Americanised style sports events, especially football but building up the atmosphere before the game cannot be a bad thing and something that makes being at a Spurs match memorable is nice and a bit of fun. I go with my son so build up, free flags, posters, glo sticks or whatever adds to the hype and expectation for him and I'm happy to be part of that so that we can look back and remember memorable matches together. Hopefully we will also be able to recount some goals, skill and match excitement too which is why we go in the first place. These CL matches are as much a match as an event.

I'm assuming you're not drinking because you're with him. I took one look at the flow of people for Wembley Park last time and just went to the pub for an hour or so to let it die down as it seemed like madness
Cheers Shea - that was another option. I could park near Wembley Central/ Ealing road and walk 1 mile (20/25 mins) to the car after the match.Is it an option for you to drive? at least that way your son can sleep in the car if needed

Where would you park?
I drove to Stanmore last time and it took just under an hour to get from the stadium to the Wembley Park at final whistle. We got home (to Northampton) just after midnight, which was a bit late for my 11 year old who had school the next day. Its my mates turn to drive tomorrow and he's already said he's thinking of leaving 5 mins early which is behaviour I wouldn't usually condone but the 5 minutes could save us 45 minutes in terms of journey time.
Wow, the Dortmund fans are amazing. I love how they all get behind the team to display amazing imagery before the game.
Hang on, you want me to hold a glow stick.....

People were trying to sing and what not but it wasn't building much of an atmosphere
My friend and I were well up for the match too and had gotten nicely drunk on the way to the ground expecting the atmosphere to rival the 2008 cupfinal on our last trip to Wembley (only with more Spurs fans this time) what we got was a bit of an anti climax and an atmosphere more like the last time I went to Wembley with my dad for a preseason match against Barca
Maybe it was just because we went behind early and killed the mood a bit but if these types of american gimmicks can get things going a bit I am all for it
it was really loud where I was with the guys behind us banging on the roof bit above their seats, sounded great. but when I spoke to my mate and his dad who took me to the game who were practically on the other side of the stadium they said they couldn't hear us. the noise just doesn't carry around the groundI think your right in that the early conceding killed the atmosphere. added with once Wembley goes quiet it is really hard to get it going again.
Hey Robbiedee, as @Shea mentioned, parking down towards sudbury is an option, as is parking behind Ealing Road, Wembley. Its a 15-20 min walk and is pay and display until 18:30'ish.Where would you park?

Is Wembley Central likely to be as busy as Wembley Park is after a game?Hey Robbiedee, as @Shea mentioned, parking down towards sudbury is an option, as is parking behind Ealing Road, Wembley. Its a 15-20 min walk and is pay and display until 18:30'ish.
Again, if you didn't want to walk down the high road you could get on a bus - but walking may well be quicker. Sudbury is a bit further on from ealing road - and i would recommend using the bus if you park out that way and have kids with you.
