[quote="Headingley Rhino"]Great win yesterday at our place, there is no denying you are probably the best team in SL as you have proved it all year so I think it's justice done that you have got to Old Trafford. I thought wigan was excellent in the second half and showed why you guys are top dogs this year.: |

| Staying at holiday inn express near euston travelling sat morn return Monday night
No idea on pubs near wembely never had time in 2011
Any advice on per match pub locations would be a help
Traveling in on tube to the station opposite Wembley way
Will have a 5 & 8 year old with me but still want a good atmosphere per match

| Osterley Park Hotel. It doesn't look that good but it's cheap at least, we'll probably only be awake in there for a total of 2 hours anyway. Where does everyone go before and after the game in Wembley? It'll be my birthday so we'll want to make a night of it

| Had a conversation last year with some Wire fans who had stayed in the Highwayman at Dunstable for £30 a night and they had booked again for this year so they may have a few vacancies

| In the Ibis next to the stadium for Sat & Sun nights - £125 without breakfast when we booked it. Moving up the road to the Premier Inn on the Monday night, as for £25 it was cheaper to stay another day than book on a train coming back to Wigan on the Bank Holiday! Two return tickets and three nights stay for £200 total.
Have stayed in that Ibis once previously, but of the local pubs, have only been into the Wetherspoons on Wembley High Road, which I expect will be pretty busy on match day.
Also, for those staying in Wembley beyond the Saturday, it's worth noting that Wembley Park underground will be effectively closed on Sunday 25th, though there's replacement bus services.

| Stayed in the Hilton Last year and booked late. Was expensive but worth it. I booked it again this year back when we drew Widnes £100 per night for a double inc breakfast. My mate went to book it the night of the semi final and it had shot up to £230 per night.
Still need somewhere to indulge myself in alcohol later hoping we can get close to the Wetherspoons on the High Street

33718_1325770967.jpg Games as big as Grand Finals define individuals and clubs. Remember, we only rent these journeys. In my time I had Pat Richard's shirt. Ellery Hanley had Sean O'Loughlin's jersey. Sam Tomkins is wearing Radders' number one jersey. Andy Coley is wearing Shaun Wayne's jersey. You have to make a mark in these shirts before you hand it down to someone else. Hand it back. So be aware for 80 minutes that you are not only playing, but you are also writing history and creating legacy. How many people actually write history - not many? A big stage demands big players…..INSPIRE YOUR TEAM MATES.

| St. james's Tavern near Piccadilly circus always seems to be the mecca for Wigan fans on Friday evening, and then again early on match day.

| All this talk of Tube to Wembley... WOT.
Get the tube by all means from wherever you're staying, but to Marylebone. Then Chiltern line to Wembley Stadium. 1 stop, 10 mins, station next to stadium... couple of minutes walk to the North West entrances.
Special trains, in addition to scheduled services run to and from the stadium on the day.
You can also use zone 4 travel card on the train.
You can be knocking the froth* of your first celebration pint in Central Smoke less than 30 mins after the final whistle.
*metaphorically speaking

| Quote: Eastbourne Warrior "Day trip for me. Train into Victoria then tube up. Probably stop off at Baker St for a pint on the way.'"
I'll do a day trip too.
Train to Euston. Then ride around on the tube having a pint in a different areas. Probably have a pint in the Red Lion on Whitehall where discerning rugby fans tend to go, good area for a few photo opportunities. Then tube to Baker Street. Soak up a bit of atmosphere with a couple of jars, then you can get a fast tube train to Wembley, buy a couple of cans and drink them on Wembley way. Tube back to Euston via Baker Street and see if I can have time for a pint before the train home.
Does anyone know if there are any works on the line as there have been on the Aug. bank holiday for the past couple of years?
