Nearly every pub around the area was rammed with queues about 6 people deep.
Best bet is to get in the stadium and have a few drinks in the concourse with other fans

The green man was fine. Took less than 2 mins to get served.
That's ok if you want tea, coffee or coke. you wont get a beer in the stadium though - Uefa competition rules

It's just a badly designed stadium for atmosphere. Will be even worse next season when a 3rd of it will be closed.

Hey Neilp, i'm guessing not - but it may also depend on how frequent the trains are from Wembley Central. Not tried it so can't really provide an answer.
i think we're all trying to work out the easiest way home as that wait for Wembley Park was a nightmare last time. Given that the weather will be worse this time, it'll make it harder esp for young kids.

There is no way I'm going via Wembley Park again, unless I leave a good 5 mins before the end and I hate doing that. Decided this time to go on the overground from Marylebone to Wembley Stadium station and the same on the way back. It surely can't be any worse?

I don't see how the North Circular can be that bad at 22:00 without much other traffic, and I'm expecting a relatively easy escape from the Harrow Road back to civilisation. But perhaps I lack imagination, and in fact I should be taking a few books and some emergency rations.

Someone told me that the only place you could buy alcohol was in Club Wembley. Can anyone who was sitting there for the Monaco game confirm whether or not this is true?

Yes it is true, I had a nice pint with my pie at half time.

took 20-30 mins to get into the station due to size of the crowd

I got down there at 3 last time, it was quite easy to get a drink at that point but really was a ball-ache after about half 5 tho. Atmosphere was on point (there was even the return of the blue flare from the cup final) but for drinks after 5 I would recommend switching to the local offy and passing the drinks over the garden fence

I should be there just after 4.30 so hopefully I will beat the queues

Good shout. green man is on the right side for us but fancy trying the torch as it seems lively. Going to get there at peak time no doubt. I'll get the old man in the queue

Thanks Mate - took just over an hour to get on Wembley Park - so that could be a better option.
