I'm new to the forum so be gentle.
I'm sure everyone is thinking of planning our trips to Wembley. Fingers crossed its two trips. A mate of mine is a Sunderland fan and they stopped at Wealdstone fc and he said it was a great venue and very friendly with free parking. I've rung them today and they are keen for Bolton fans to use their facilities. They have sent the below message. Check them out. Oh and I've no affiliation to them, it just sounds ideal. james.klarfeld@btinternet.com Mob 0797979 5414 Wealdstone Fc info FREE PARKING for Coaches Minibuses and cars,clubhouse bar big screen TVs and bbq available also approx 7 min walk to Ruislip Stn on Met line to Wembley 7 stops 20 min journey £1.80 e/w contactless.

Getting to a Wembley is the easy part Sparky, journey I mean.
Getting past AccyStan might not be so (even though we have beaten them at their ground once this season) they will try every dirty trick in the book to muster a way past the Wanderers and we have to be ready for that
Welcome to the forum by the way and I hope you enjoy and contribute much
For the record, I stupidly always drove to Ruislip and got on the tube there to the Twin Towers

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm banking on a win at Accrington. I've still not got over watching us lose 7-1 there.
Been to Wembley parking at Watford in the past. Wealdstone FC sounds a good place to park up and any money from the bar goes in their clubs coffers.

Welcome Sparky nice to have new posters on the site and your opinions, whatever they are will be discussed sensibly other than mocked like some other sites. Like you I’m hoping for Wembley, twice with any luck but no counting chickens on either as there’s many a slip twixt cup and lip as they say. 🥴

Did everyone get their tickets?

Still a few for sale.....

I have just been in contact with Wealdstone regarding parking there.
What a great set of people they are, very helpful.
I have now signed up to park there and it is a simple process.
How it works is that you send them a £5 deposit – really this is just to compensate them if you don’t turn up.
When you arrive you get a £5 voucher which can be used at the bar or for food. They apparently will be putting on hamburgers, hot dogs etc as well as a bar so the £5 will be easily spent.
It is just a 5/10 minute walk to Ruislip station which is on the same tube line as Wembley so an easy journey to the ground.
One thing they pointed out which I did not know is that the Tube is now a contactless payment system. This means that you need to touch your card on the reader when you get to Ruislip and touch it again when you reach Wembley. There is no option for Cash payments.
Also note, and this I find odd, that a card can only be used once. This means that for 3 of us, we need 3 contactless cards to get on the Tube.
If any one is interested, the guy James Klarfeld mentioned in Sparky’s initial post is the one to contact – very nice helpful man

Great info Dave thanks. I thought they were a great bunch when I spoke to them and they love their club like we love ours. They do this to generate money for Wealdstone FC so all going to a good cause, a non league club.
Spread the word and hopefully we can get a good few wanderers fans there for a family friendly atmosphere.
Football is life 👍

I just received this message from the guy at Wealdstone FC regarding people parking at their ground for Wembley:-
Hi David I’m out in Germany at the moment and I’m still getting loads of calls for our club If you don’t mind please if you could go on FB and any other SM sites and put on it that we are full to capacity and can’t take anymore people and there will be no walk ons on the day we really appreciate the support but demand has been absolutely phenomenal and we just don’t have enough room for everyone Thank you James
So if you want to park at Wealdstone but haven’t booked, too late sorry.

Looks like Wealdstone FC have a bit of a problem over the parking for tomorrow.
I received the following from them last night:-
Hi just to let you I’ve been informed that a Bolton fan has put on social media a false rumour that our event is not happening that is not Correct.
As per previous conversation the football pitch we use to park cars is waterlogged so we are just asking you to either park in one of the side streets close to the club as there are No parking restrictions or park at Ruislip Tube station which is just another couple of mins in the car(there is a small charge)and then just walk back to our clubhouse.
I’m sincerely sorry it has come to this but the severe weather has giving us no other option to do this.
So side street parking it is which is always a bit dodgy.

Side streets in Ruislip seem a safe bet as I’ve done that before with no mither, just don’t get out of your car in a Wanderers shirt/scarf
Let’s hope the omens for a win are with us and the waterlogged Wealdstone pitch does not affect the Wandering Wanderers
COYWM ⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️good luck to all venturing down to the capital, I’ll keep warm watching on the box
