Booked into the Ibis near Wembley stadium - only £70 for the night and no need for me to queue with the hordes for the Tube after the match.

Booked the Novotel Wembley. 700 metres from the stadium. Flight with BA Dublin to Heathrow were very reasonable also.

The crowds getting on to the tube queue really quickly after the game so I wouldn't let that put you off. If it was me and I was looking for late pints then I'd be heading back into London.

My suggestion would be somewhere central. Kings Cross, Euston, even towards. From Baker Street you are at Wembley stadium in around 15 mins on the tube. Plenty of spots central for late pints if that's what you are after. Most bars by Wembley would be closed by midnight.

Is it definitely wembley? I wonder if they might not move the venue around for NL games.

More than likely Wembley. Italy and Hungary games were at Molineux because they had a one game stadium ban and had to play another at reduced capacity because of what happend at the Euro 2020 final IIRC. I'd be suprised if they moved us elsewhere given this one is the only one that would be the most likely to sell out in the group. Finland and Greece more likely to be moved elsewhere

They've only moved when Wembley was booked for a gig and when uefa punished them.

Was over for a weekend before Xmas. Staying around St Pauls. Went to a pub the Rising Sun on the Fri night, was absolutely buzzing. Ventured back there on the Sat night only to find it closed. Bar man at another pub near by said a lot of places didnt open at the weekend was just the office workers Mon-Fri they relied on. Was shocked at that.

To be honest, you'd be quicker getting the Bakerloo to Baker Street then the Metropolitan to Wembley Park. That's the closest stop to the station. Wembley Central around 20 minutes walk from the ground.

Flight leaves at ten. Last one I think. Assuming gate closes 9.30ish, you’d wanna be there around 9.15 to get thru security etc - 45 mins before hand as you say! 👍.

mad imo booking back that night. If you have baggage you won't get it in and we'll have to store outside the ground which is a bit of hassle. 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 though

I certainly wouldn't be chancing anything like that either.
As you say, just book a hotel for the night and relax - well, as much as you can relax watching Ireland.

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 prematch activities in Kingsbury )

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

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.

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

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

Anyone hazard a guess what 10 aways will be used for this? Wont make portugal, Finland or Greece this year due to a holiday in the summer and time off work, so slightly worried about tickets for England. I have 2023: Netherlands, Greece 2022: Malta, Scotland, Ukraine 2019: Denmark, Switzerland

Assuming the nations league games in October aren't over subscribed you're probably looking at,
Greece, Finalnd, Portugal, Gibraltar, France, Greece, Malta, Scotland, Ukraine, Armenia
Can't see you having any issue to be honest seeing as our minimum allocation is around 4.5k

Thanks for the info. Was Scotland not oversubscribed? I was thinking myself that its doubtful 4500 people would have been to more of the last 10, especially considering the football the past few years. Hopefully i can get sorted anyways.

Last 10 undersubscribed I believe. Portugal, Greece and maybe Finland you would imagine would be undersubscribed also to knock out the top 3 on the list by the time England comes round.

Does a game being a friendly or not tend to make that much of difference?
