    Huge dilemma here. Sister and family over from Canada - staying in York, daughter in Manchester, daughter up here from Guildford, and the husband a Wednesday fan.
    Trying to find a way of doing it that keeps everyone friendly, doesn’t break the bank, and gets everyone there and back to where they need to be.

    If he's insured, bump off the Wednesday fan and use the money for a family day out at Wembley.

    I'm in a similar situation.... need about six tickets first (no colchester stubs or owt).. If I get onto parking or accomodation, I'll contact you if it would work for you too.

    Not cheap is it, looks like £115 Lancaster London, plus the match ticket, ale and snap. Not far short of £250? Ouch

    I'm at Slamdunk Festival, Leeds on the Sunday and a wedding on the Tuesday (yes - Tuesday!!!!!)
    So I need to try and get me and my lad and a couple of mates booked onto a 'sensible' bus.

    If anyone is aware of any bus/coaches with availability, it'd be greatly appreciated if you could share it on here.

    Theres a shortage of coaches available so clubs have a lot less than previous trips. As a result I think some are already booked up with regulars. Be quick

    Also I spoke to the guy from Yorkshire rose holidays last night and they have some trips

    Wife had booked our hotel in Watford before I’d got home last night! £130.00 for 3 of us with breakfast staying over Monday night which I thought was fairly reasonable.

    I’d imagine it’d be straight forward getting train/tube from Watford to Wembley?
