Wembley way is packed
I know what you mean. It was a great occasion to be part of but doing this on a regular basis is going to be hard work. Leaving the stands, then the stadium, then all the queuing... and then the damn journey.That whole fixture felt like hard work. A side not adapted to playing on such a large pitch, a mixed bag in terms of atmosphere and an absolute pain in the arse to get away from the ground.
Poch is bang on that the stadium is a 'nice excuse' - I note that the people talking about it being an issue are the usual bottle job ex England players.
It's where our cup finals are played FFS, only we get to play there with 95% of the crowd supporting our team......would any of these players seriously say that Spurs are disadvantaged because the ground isn't WHL if we were there in an FA cup final?......no. it's a load of bollocks and an easy excuse for weak willed players.
Agree, it was all a bit of a ballache. Not helped by the poor match. Unless you live on that corridor you're not going to look forward to that journey every other week next season.
However, if that comes as the cost of having 70k+ at our home games next season and an absolutely banging stadium if we are doing well, I'm all for it.
