Are people doing any sight-seeing, is anybody going to the Skolars on Friday night etc?
I travel down on the Thursday afternoon for a work function on the evening.
Friday morning I'm off to our De Vere hotel near Watford to meet the family, before a bit of sight-seeing on Friday afternoon (London eye etc.)
Not sure about Friday evening, may just be an early one ready for the big day, although I am considering the Skolars game.
Saturday morning it's a case of breakfast, and then a 15minute train journey to Wembley, few drinks at the Green Man pub, before heading into the ground a couple of hours before the game to soak up the atmosphere and meet the rest of our group.
Again, not sure about the evening, if we win, it may be a trip into the centre of London for a big night out, otherwise probably a few drinks around Wembley and then back to the hotel.
Sunday, get home for the homecoming in the afternoon.
What are other people's plans, anybody doing anything exciting (apart from the match)?
Dave, thanks for your question.
I'm the designated driver for the weekend (though it doesn't mean I will be tee-total, only on the trips there and back!!) so we'll be leaving early Friday morning and travelling to our drop off point where I'll b leaving the car. Quick train/tube into Euston where our hotel is and then we'll have a couple of drinks and a stroll around. Probably head to the Euston Flyer or the O'Neills.
Friday night will possibly include the Skolars game and then a trip out. I think we are doing Camden and the Dublin Castle on the Saturday so Friday night may head to Covent Garden or something like that!
Saturday morning will be a big fry up in the hotel and then head to Wembley, where we normally convene in the Green Man Pub aswell!!! (so if you spot me, come over and say hello!) Then head to the game, and then whether we win or lose, I'll still be out and about either celebrating our win, or toasting the team for getting this far!
Sunday will be recovery and back home for the homecoming in the afternoon.
