4 of us driving down (driver is a none drinker - phew)

Plan to park outside Wembley and have been suggested

Hatch end
Harrow & Wealdstone
Kenton

To try and find street parking then a short tube / train into Wembley

Anyone that has used Green man previously - I assume it gets rammed but can you get served ok?

Any other ideas greatfully received

It took ages to get served last year where I was standing.
Decent atmosphere tho, will go back to the Green Man this year.

Ditto, where is best to park these days?  Is there parking near enough to walk to the ground?

The red car park is the Villa car park apparently according to that site, the only other car park noted as Villa only is just for minibuses it seems.

Will be making a return visit to the social club at Wealdstone FC which was tremendous last year. Packed with fans, yet no more than 5 minutes to get served. 10 minutes walk from Ruislip tube station.

I tend to drink in one of the pubs in Ruislip and then take some beers up to the green near the ground. Was far too hot to march up the hill for the Green Man.

Weather doesn't look like it'll be as good as last year. Google 10-day has it raining Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The beeb 14-day has it dry but cloudy for the Monday.

Dry but cloudy would be ideal as far as I'm concerned. I've never understood the appeal of hot and sunny

We booked a hotel in Harrow after the Bristol game so will make our way in from there. Need to work out the best place to take kids. As long as there’s a garden they can kick a ball about then they’ll be happy.
