Am I right in believing that The Torch has been designated as a "Wycombe Pub" at Wembley?
If so it seems absurd to have Wycombe fans walking from Wembley Stadium station, past the Sunderland fans exiting Wembley Park station, to get to The Torch.

I got a pineapple into Wembley once, but it was confiscated at the first steward search (true story)
Context please...
We were drinking in some posh hotel bar down Baker Street as all the other pubs were rammed. They had big bowls of fresh fruit everywhere. Naughtily I walked out with a full pineapple (nobody was ever going to eat it let's be honest). Still had it as we got to Wembley, the stewards were rather bemused but decided it could be an offensive weapon.
I once got stopped at airport security cause I had a table tennis bat ?
I got stopped at airport security because they confused a pack of 8 cigars in canisters for a bomb coming back from Lanzarote ?
Yet at Stansted airport last month I never got pulled up even though I had my mum's ashes in a casket inside my rucksack! I'll remember that next time I want to smuggle drugs! ?

I also got stopped by airport security back in the days of home brew ( for those of us who can remember that far back) when I was transporting hop extract to an undisclosed destination. Needless to say I successfully explained away that my alcohol whilst potent was not explosive!

It's not exactly Galatasaray vs Fenerbahce mate!
We had no problems mixing with the Charlton fans in 2019, sure it will be similar on Saturday if need be.
@Glenactico Trains from Amersham to London are always loads cheaper than going from HW - providing you use contactless. If you buy an actual ticket you get ripped off for Chiltern Rail prices.

Yeah, but can you shed any light on the situation?

Not quite, the road that goes from the stadium station up to the torch is mainly Wycombe pubs, since the development round that way the Sunderland fans will be underneath down Wembley way or further round, tbh separate pubs kind of makes sense if people want to sing their songs but people should be able to walk down the street without issues
Thousands of large light and dark blue sheets of paper were left on seats at Villa Park. It certainly made for an impressive display. Brilliant performance against greater odds than this Saturday.

It was done for Southend too but the weird way fans were spread out meant it didn't really work, would love to see something like that but getting late now
Just to confirm, Amersham tube straight to wembley Park, they're on the same line, I go that way often for work, and a lot cheaper than chiltern line from Wycombe

Anyone else had issued with cancelled tickets on the ticket website? Went in to my account today and found my transaction for 6 tickets has been cancelled. Can’t access the tickets on that transaction but have the same seats active in my account but under different references and at a cheaper price. Not seen any form of refund or communication.
Emailed the club but wondered if anyone else had seen this. I’ve distributed the original tickets but now wonder if they are valid and if the new one are too? Funny the price dropped too.
Common reasons for cancellation
(i) High risk postcode (SR1, SR4, SR5, SR6, NE36, NE37) or links to area, e.g. unclaimed lost property (scarf, half-and-half or otherwise) at Newcastle airport
(ii) Criticism of club friend Alan Swann on social media/online forums
(iii) Counterfeit ink detected when printing tickets in full-colour

Interesting, they are showing on the TfL website. I hope that doesn't mean the Met line info is wrong too. Guessing they should be more accurate on the Tube rather than overground.

Yeah, the Met won't be affected.

@Genactico Counting seats sold on the website in all blocks released, yes I’m that sad! (not including unavailable/black seats). Only needed to do this once and take note of the remaining seats available at that time. Then just count the changes after that.

I am going from Amersham,Met Line tube to Wembley Park 40mins travel time.
TFL website normally up to date in my experience and suggests the Metropolitan will run from Amersham-Wembley (a bargain at £2.10 one way as well!)

22,473 tickets sold. 15,582 in lower tier (only 11 tickets unsold). 2,287 in middle tier (6 tickets unsold from blocks available). 4,604 in upper tier
Incredible effort. Would be brilliant if we can sneak towards 25k, but what a turn out this is.
I think we’ll do it. Remarkable.

Have we got a "display" of quarters or anything planned for when the team run out? Will never forget pictures of the Holte End in a sea of blue.
I know that Sunderland have plotted something in the lower tier.

Can we recreate it? Short notice I know!

Wembley / the EFL will probably provide them, pretty sure they did in 2015
The club and volunteers will be making this happen this week. Hoping that the preparation will be on WanderersTV on Friday.

EDIT - Sorry hadn't realised I was a page behind and this has already been said.
TfL website has direct trains from Amersham to Wembley Park on the Met line at 11:50, 12:20, 12:50, etc.
Or can get Chiltern Line from Amersham to Harrow and then change to Met line to Wembley Park, trains leaving 08 and 38 past the hour.
That is how I'm planning on getting there so hoping it is right! TfL website likely to be most up to date
@FmG No Chiltern line from Amersham on Saturday - Aylesbury Vale Parkway to Marylebone not running as they needed the trains for the Wycombe route
Apparently no Sunderland fans have received their tickets yet

Out of interest, how are you figuring this out with such accuracy?
Yeah, the Met won't be affected.

Bottom two tiers sold out bar five seats, amazing!
