Used to take my daughter to Wembley for England games when she was young enough to get in family section and I knew the area quite well. There is a ring around the stadium for games but just outside this, parking on the street is/was readily available in good residential areas. Walk is around 30/40 mins from stadium and very quick access back to M1. There is also a cab office or buses if needed.
Happy to give out details to anyone wanting to save time and cash. Not much use to those want loads of beer options before the game. PM me for info.

We're looking at the direct train from Bicester Village to Wembley Stadium. Never knew the outlet centre had its own station! Should be about 5-10 minutes off the M40 if anyone coming down that way. Brother in law lives in Bicester, that’s a pretty good shout, done it a few times. Premier Inn next to the station too. Hmm, may swap high Wycombe for this

So if I do travel it’s 3.15 Saturday flight from Sydney, 06.30 Sunday at Heathrow, get to Wembley… win … back to Heathrow 10.35pm for a flight back to Sydney, landing at 05.30 on Tuesday in time to get to work. Will tell the family I’m popping out to the shops for a pint of milk That Sydney sounds like an absolutely textbook piece of planning and I heartily commend you for it. Just remember to bring back the milk.

I'm on the Flixbus, overnight from Manchester Saturday leaving 2340, into Victoria 630AM Sunday with just the 7 hours to get across the capital for kick-off, I hear the pavements are made of gold so maybe I'll walk it like Dick Whittington. Return from Finchley Rd (which I haven't looked up yet, but sounds reassuringly North London to me) at 6PM, back in Manchester for late Sunday night. Planning then on sleeping till Wednesday (including at work, sure they won't notice).

Anyone flying from Manchester to Heathrow 7.00 am and returning 20.25 ? That's a cracking way of doing it. I flew Shannon - Heathrow - Shannon for the Luton last game of the season in 98 and a few of us have flown to Brentford away a couple of times. We're flying in from Almeria into Stansted on Thursday early evening, back Monday evening.
