Don't think you'd get much enjoyment of the match either thinking of rushing about either. It's not as if you will defo get a clear run either as there will be 90k people leaving at the one time. Good luck anyone who tries thoughLOL

If really don't want to book a hotel the night of the game booked 1st flight home and spend the couple hours in the airport not ideal but definitely less stressful thsn trying to catch a flight after the game was a nightmare getting the tube back in after the friendly in 2013 (and that was nothing to do with the rematch activities in Kingsbury LOL)

Did this in 2013. In a pub till around 1 am and then spent 3 hours using night buses and an airport shuttle to Gatwick for a 6am flight back to Dublin.

It’s really not that bad if you are in no rush. Leave maybe 20 mins after the game and once you join the queue you’ll usually be on a tube in around 20 mins

Thats why I’m staying beside the stadium, not sure why anyone would be bustling into central London on a Sunday night

What hotel is that BSM ?

Booked a basic enough hotel beside Wembley.  Still not sure if I'll go. Might just book flights and gamble. How do ye see the ticket situation being?

My first possible aways in years. Would love to get back to regular trips

I’m staying in Novotel Wembley. 700 metres from the stadium. Don’t care about a session afterwards as my wifes coming with me. Will just have a few in the hotel after the match.

Was in Wembley for Concert and Wrestling last summer and found the town itself a bit meh. A lot more run down then I imagine. The Stadium is amazing 

Stayed in the Greenwood Hotel in Northolt which was about 20 min taxi away
It's a Wetherspoons hotel so don't expect late pints or anything like that

A lot would have got themselves on the list with the game in Faro. If you could get an away before England it would definitely help you. We’ll get 4,000 tickets but we’d more than that in Fafo.

There's the trip to Helsinki the month beforehand (hopefully the FAI will wait until after that game to start taking applications for the England game so that it would be on your away record).

There's also the away friendly v Portugal in early June.
The nation holds it's breath...YES, WE'RE THERE!!!

I know it's a few years go now but england gave Scotland almost 14000 tickets for a world cup qualifier in 2017 and we got almost 10000 for the 2013 friendly so could see them giving us more than 4000 for this but could be wrong

Think it was closer to 3,000 in Faro and that would have included families and people who were only there for the sun holiday but fair point in that there will be a good number with at least 1 away. 

We will get at least 4,700 tickets and the English FA do have form for increasing away allocations if it means less hassle for them

"The Football Association insists it has opted to hand Poland an enormous 18,000 ticket allocation for Tuesday's Wembley encounter with England for security reasons.

As the fixture had not sold out by Friday, and fearing many Polish supporters would attempt to gain access to areas reserved for home fans, the FA took the decision to double the visitors' allocation to 20 per cent of the stadium's capacity."

I remember back in 2013 buying an away end ticket directly from the FA as I had no away record at the time. I suppose they were terrified of trouble and having away fans in the home end. Whether they give us the same allocation as the Polish got is to be seen , I think unlikely, but I definitely think we will get more than the minimum requirement.

I’d doubt we’d get anywhere near the level the polish fans did.

Could easily see us be allocated 10,000, maybe even more if the game doesn’t sell out. I’d imagine this game won’t attract much interest for the English as they should be safely promoted by this stage.

They rarely seem to fill Wembley anyways. Their game against Italy attracted 83k and their last nations league game against Germany attracted 79k
