davenportram Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Still only an hour and half difference on the return journey - and I got to have a bit of a sleep too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WharfedaleRam Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Stayed over the weekend. Back in the hotel for 6pm and out to the pub to watch the Atletico v Real game. I bet Atletico's fans feel even worse than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Never go on an organised club coach, too restrictive.. If your local is doing something fair enough but club coaches no.. All those who park in car parks near the ground.. Were you really surprised it too ages to get out? It's well known how to get in and out of Wembley.. I'm wondering this. Especially if you drove, why not just park at Watford or outside London somewhere and get the tube in, must be much easier no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JABBA Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I drove to cockfosters and paid £2 to park all day in a huge car park it's was just 5 mins of the motorway. Just under an hour on the tube to get to Wembley but avoided all the chaos and had stress free travel both ways and got back to derby for just after 8. Never never driver to the location of a major event that's what all the idiots do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Hey, we paid £29! We assumed he knew where to go and not to go. My £0.70 tip reflected this. Quite agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyRam! Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 me and my dad went on the train, Burton to Wembley and on the way back we simply walked 20minutes to Wembley north and got on the train back to Watford Junction there, avoided all the cues and had an easy journey home.

Grimbeard Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Easy journey. Left home at 08:00, arrived at Watford underground at 09:50. Arrived at Wembley Park 10:30. Home by 19:30. Cost me £2 to park and £4.70 return on the train. Really can't see what Londoners have to compain about re London Transport. They don't know they're born.

So you parked in the Green Car Park? That was supposed to be QPR which is why our coaches didn't park there. We passed that EMPTY coach park at just after 1pm and had to queue for 40 minutes to get into ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 And the Met just stood and watched. Not saying it's their job to organise the parking but surely they see what's happening and can give feedback to Wembley on how to improve it. Wouldn't that make it easier for everyone? A bit of forward planning goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We passed that EMPTY coach park at just after 1pm and had to queue for 40 minutes to get into ours. Yes dav, it was half empty and when we left obviously all the QPR where still in the ground,, by the time I got to the exit I was doing 60mph that's how empty it was !! When I booked it up that was my plan for a quick get away, if we won or lost as long as I didn't park with our fans I would avoid the que. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Got the train down about 10, no seats but sat on the floor, arrived at St. Pancras about 11:30, then Euston Flyer for a couple of hours, lunch and a few drinks. Tube to Wembley Park. Easy as you like. Left the ground about 5:15, couldn't move outside for about half an hour (why the outside walkway is about 10 metres wide is beyond me), eventually got the tube about 6. Had a few around Euston Rd, made our way back on a pretty quiet train at about 7 o'clock. Got back to my mates in Derby in time for 2nd half of Champions League final and a Chinki. Other than the scramble outside Wembley it was fine. The tube is a bloody brilliant invention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiekelly55 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 should have parked at our club in wealdstone like the uttoxeter rams did.no parking problems at all, and it was free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Getting into the ground before was a joke. Stood outside K block for about 20-25 minutes, no queues just a big group of people edging towards the turnstiles. Didnt get in till about 2.58pm, was f*cking ridiculous.

You drove to Watford not Wembley, the idiots are those whining that they missed the start got stuck after the event. Not those who parked several miles away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
