I think we should all meet up for a pre match drink and sing song.
Let's say at the top of Wembley way , between the twin towers.

It's a long time since you've been to fancy London isn't it...

If this is a genuine attempt at irony, then 10 out of 10.

If not, enjoy the search, but I will guarantee you will miss kick off and will be a Billy No Mates in the process.

There is a tower of sorts outside of Wembley Park tube station and an advertising tower near the Wembley arena, approx 600m apart and about 30000 fans milling around in between at any one time.

Thanks but I think I'll pass on this.

The green man pub Wembley looks like a good pre match watering hole.

Anyone remember the star? Two stops from Wembley. The landlord in there couldn't believe how so many different team colours could have a sing song without fighting. He looked forward to challenge cup week every year said it was the best takings of any week never mind day.
Will always remember a guy standing up on a chair and singing (I think) a Simon and garfunkel song and the entire pub joined in on the la la la's.
Quality days.

That's the one. People were poking their heads in from the street wondering what the hell was going on.

Pre-match pint will be The Torch, a mere stones throw from Wembley Park tube.

No beer for me, driving 5 of us down. Couldn't do it anyway, too nervous. I'll save my beers for the day after celebrations.

What about 1964?. lol

I was there to see Alan Burwell score Rovers only try on a lovely sunny day. Alan's older brother went to the same high school in Hull as myself. I lived in North London then, only a few miles from Wembley stadium. The only other time I have been to Wembley when Rovers played there was in 1980.
