    RE: Extremely limited parking

    I don't think they let you use the Arena car park at all for Stadium events to be honest. There's pretty much a 2 mile radius "no parking zone". They're encouraging people to park and ride. Tube is fine going in, but usually hold ups on Wembley Way on the way out.

    Your best bet is to park up at Watford station and get the underground. I live in Southampton and do that when I go. Very limited parking around Wembley.

    went to the cup final last year.

    By far the best way is wht we did.

    Drove down to (I think) Stanmore. Parked in the station carpark and caught the train directly to Wembley. There in no time.

    Getting back from the ground was slower because huge crowds were queueing to the station, although I can't remember it taking more than half an hour.

    There is tons of parking on the industrial estates that surround Wembley. Been a few times to the new Wembley for England games in car and used them. Ok you have to pay £10 but all within 10 to 15 min walking distance at most. You also get away a lot faster than having to take the Tube up to Stanmore or such places on that line like Queensbury or Kingsbury. If you want to go in on Tube, head to Queensbury or Kingsbury before Stanmore, a lot quieter but as easy to get to.

    a mate of mine went to an england game a while back and he found an advert for some guy ho rents his drive out on big match days.

    Said it was really close to the ground and safe, secure parking.

    IS that Brent Cross? That's where we parked for the play-off final, pretty convenient.

    haha

    can you imagine what it would be like if everyone tried to park at wembley?

    u've gotta be joking.

    i do think ticket holders should get free travel on the tube though.
