    The last time I was at Wembley was '98 so I may be wrong.

    I imagine that all of the pubs advertised for the fans will be absolutely heaving.  You would be better off drinking well away from Wembley and tube/train it in later.

    London Bridge and the Covent Garden area I would imagine is favourite.
    Please tell me you will be going.
    You've already missed a never to be forgotten Charlton game. 
    Tickets being sorted tomorrow mate.

    Been told to f*** off a lot when I have asked for a ticket!

    What's the beer like in the ground? More importantly where will we (hopefully) be celebrating afterwards?
    Budweiser

    Beer in Wembley is normally dreadful and circa £6 a pint when I’ve been before

    Surely the whole point is to be boozing amongst other fans, soaking in the occasion? Why anyone would want to drink 35 minutes away in some shite tourist pub is beyond me.

    Can always take cans in to the beer garden and fill up a pint glass from your first round if you're worried about not getting served quickly.
    Ah, you can take the boy out of Croydon.............

    I dunno. It’s not a normal away with a few hundred descending on a pub singing and drinking.  I think we’re going to stick with drinking with our ‘group’ after getting into Waterloo then heading to Wembley.  Not ideal I agree. Anyone know what the prices are like in the ground? And do they take cash? (got surprised by cashless bars at the Oval recently)

    Budweiser for £6 I gather.

    I understand getting the atmosphere in a boozer near the ground, but queueing for 20 minutes to pay inflated prices for a beer in a plastic is not ideal.

    1998 we drunk near Finchley Road tube and were the only Charlton fans there..

    Whenever I’ve been to Wembley the last few years we’ve drunk at one of the pubs by Great Portland St station.

    Its one stop before the carnage that will be Baker St and on the Metropolitan Line so quick to Wembley Park

    More enjoyable I would have thought.

    Few comments on beer in the ground being budweiser. I can't say it will be the same but the selection at the NFL game I was at last year was very impressive. Few different bars around the concourse with different offerings, I don't remember being blown away by the choice but given it was a stadium there was far more than I expected. Think they had some Camden Brewery beer (which isn't amazing but...) and I think a few other decent beers, possibly some Fuller beers. It helped that I could drink it at my seat though.

    It may well be different for football, I've only been once for a football game (England v Ireland friendly) and I cannot remember if we had any beer in the ground that day. Remember Shane Long scoring and winning me my first goal scorer and minute of goal (13) bets though!

    You will not be able to bring your drink to the seat.

    Yes I realise that. It was a nice bonus at the NFL

    Meeting all my lot in Baker Street, but waiting to see which pubs are Sunderland/Charlton only. 
    Obviously it's not at Baker st, but am i right in saying that the Green Man near the ground has been given to us?

    Went to the Orient game yesterday. On level 5 there were stalls only selling Budweiser but there were also real ale outlets which understandably had much longer queues. Real ale was OK (didn't recognise the name) and 5.30 a pint.

    Every pub is going to be rammed in and around Wembley, last time we went in 98 and Ebbsfleet in 2008, we found a nice little pub around the streets near Marylebone station and drank there. Left about 2 to get to the game.

    going to be doing the same myself. getting to Marylebone around half 10. go to the one near the station that opens early (i hope) then heading to another one after midday opening. theres two trains and hour from there to wembley stadium station.

    That’s the problem with it being a Sunday.  The only one I’ve found near Waterloo (so far) that is open before 12 is the Firestation :-/

    it is a pain. i guess you could go to the chain pubs. like all bar one and slug and lettuce near the eye. or the small scotter cafe on lower marsh street could be selling beers. i know they do during the day but not sure about in the morning.
