IlsonDerby Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I don’t like it. Been 3 times to watch Derby and quite a few times to watch England. Have to say, England’s match at Elland Road last summer before the World Cup was a class above anything Wembley has offered in terms of atmosphere. Would 100% back England going around the country for their matches having watched that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that does look like it could be something special! Maybe it's the colour scheme! I'm off to Spurs early August for the match Vs Inter Milan, £25 a ticket. I was hoping Derby would be in the same league so I wouldn't miss a game, but it's a Sunday anyway so should be ok. I'll report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 It’s nigh on impossible to have a wee at half time without missing the start of the second half. Was a right crush. The toilets at pride park are bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarantism Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Apart from the qpr game I saw England vs Malta there. It was a sellout but the Malta fans were making all the noise. I put the lack of home enthusiasm down to Rooney playing in midfield rather than architectural problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just allowed a couple of twits to be abusive to the rest of the block, calling us all ducking Bamfords because not everyone wanted to stand (including several elderly people who couldn't stand....) Other than that the day was great although I agree PP is better for watching the game and creating atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went to the 07 and this play off final (missed the QPR one due to an exam the next day) and I've enjoyed both in very different ways. Partly due to my age as I was only a nipper in 07 and now a full grown adult and the result, but i think on both occasions I was glad I went.

Would feel horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purchased a couple of tickets right on the half way line. Shame it wont be for a Derby game but it's a ground I really want to see. Thanks for the heads up!

ossieram Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Anybody that thinks Wembley is overrated needs to thank their lucky stars it isn't like the stadium in Baku! How far from the pitch are the fans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC Ram Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 I thought that I'd probably have recovered by now. I don't think that I have. The trains! I don't think that I will be doing the journey again as it was unsafe. I have really (really) valued the pre and post trip travel advice on here - thanks all very much. I followed it and had a much better journey that many who used St Pancras. Our journey to and back was just about bearable - in fact it was the best that it could have been in the circumstances (we got seats and were in the same carriage). It could very easily have been a very whole lot worse indeed. Whilst I'd probably use the car to Watford - train to Wembley Central and return option if I was to go again, I just don't think that I would be happy doing so given what happened this time. Whilst it is a real shame, it felt like the journey from the Wembley stadium to the tube (in my case Wembley Central) was managed with care by employees. Conversely, the journey from Euston was managed with no care whatsoever by anybody at all. I thought that I'd be over it by now - I'm not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thederbyram Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Agree that it's overrated..but only because I'd rather not go having finished 1st or 2nd! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresOnlyWanChope Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Fantastic stadium in my opinion. Hate how semi finals are there which devalues it but I guess its the money thats talking. As a stadium however it is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
