The problem I'm tackling with my mates (6 of us going) is that if you decide you can't get in and it's 3.30 / 4, you're kinda stuck in the area. I don;t know what it's like inside as haven't been since 2021 but back then it was decent, plenty of space and table service via app - but as I say it was limited by covid numbers and such like. I remember they were also helpful that one of our group turned up a bit later and they let him queue jump to join us (was one in one out at that point), the door staff were really good and friendly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redkev Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 (edited) Is it still a shithole around Wembley , I see they have numerous hotels / buildings all up Wembley way but what’s it like a little further afield , I’m generally running late after drinking elsewhere and it’s usually off the tube straight up Wembley way and into ground so have little idea what’s about in the vicinity. , was never many pubs / bars etc , generally use to drink in Harrow / Ickenham / Ruislip areas , or central London Edited March 23 by redkev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

formerly known as ivan Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Going into the euros, left back and the third midfielder (Gallagher playing there tonight) are the biggest areas of concern. I personally would like to see Rice, Bellingham and Foden in the midfield three. Regarding the left back position, that one is anyone’s guess. Don’t think Chilwell or Shaw are the answers.
