Late trains back might be an issue.

Late start as well, with the Pope's funeral on Saturday.

Bars allocated around Wembley for Villa fans on Saturday.

The Blue Check, Empire Way
Wembley Tavern, Wembley Park Dr
Stadium Sports Bar, Wembley Park Dr
The Torch, Bridge Rd, Wembley Park
Crock of Gold, Bridge Road
Black Sheep, Olympic Way
Box Park, Olympic Way


I think they've tightened up a lot on street drinking & sales around the stadium since the play off finals.

The torch looks the biggest but they all look a little small for the volume of fans that will be no doubt looking for a cold one?

Any idea when the digital tickets will be issue to our accounts?
Does anyone know if there Will there be a print at home option. Hope so, phone very dodgy atm
All recent tickets from Villa for CL and FA cup games have had both options. Print or download to wallet.

Thank the Lord as the journey to get a ticket has been torturous for us oldies who cannot navigate around devices.

In fact i think it could actually be discrimination against the oldies. Recently i had to nip into the Jewellry quarter and in 3 different streets to park i was advised to download a different app - blew my mind and took me longer to address than actually park to do the errand

Hardly progress!

Does anyone know why our allocated car park is at the Palace end of Wembley and vice versa?

Might just be a capacity thing as in theory most people on the Palace side will be based in London so need less parking space.

Not to everyones tastes but doing box park, bit pricey for drink and food, but it was good before the man city final a few years ago. Im on a coach with loads of others but also got my 15 year old, so easier than the pubs
