To the 4,000 going to Wembley: please read (updated)

Jesus these rules & regulations that are imposed are enough for you to say fuck it. I get the terrorist risk with bags etc, but just scan them. Does make you want to get one over on them though. I'm thinking of wearing a wet suit under my clothes filled with vodka & I can absorb it through my skin , or a massive false beer belly with a minibar & pies plus a telescopic flag hidden inside it.

The increase for Championship Final has been granted as part of an NHS app trial. The League One and Two play-off finals remain restricted to 10,000 spectators regardless of requests made.

Thanks for the response Steve. Clearly disappointing they couldn't have done it for all 3

Sorry, I don't agree with that, as it may result in someone who has followed that 'advice' being refused entry.
It is better to just reinforce the actual Wembley rules, whether we agree with them or not, because someone claiming they took a larger bag because the BFC SLO said it would be OK, is unlikely to help.

I'm actually amazed that he made the statement in the op in the first place along with the comments about bottled water (which he still hasn't clarified).

O/P doesn't say "Take bottled water", just that it's advisable given the likely temperature to drink some on the day. I'm sure you can a) drink it while waiting to go in and then re-fill the empty or b) buy it inside. It ain't rocket science. 😆

Agreed, but he doesn't say 'drink bottled water on the day'. His words can be misconstrued and I'm sure, having read other posts, that clarification would be appreciated by myself and others as against having confrontation with stewards. Now THAT isn't rocket science either.

Why would you call yourself the OP
 
Miko said:
Is this allowed? Some kind of confirmation would help as this is a contradiction of what Wembley are saying on their website.

They say empty plastic bottles <500ml are ok. Wtf anyone would want to take an empty bottle with them is beyond me....unless the tap water in the bogs is drinkable.

Because they want to charge you £4.50 to fill your bottle up behind the bar 🥴

I'm more amazed about how pathetic you and others are being. It was advice, and designed to be helpful. It doesn't mean you shouldn't try thinking for yourself every now and then.
 
Take in yer water bottle but no water. Assume there are water fountains inside to refill the bottle. If they work using a sensor ie putting bottle under a tap and filling up fair enough. If you have to start pressing buttons and stuff then not very covid safe.
 
Wow reading this glad I’m not going. Rather watch on the massive TV with the Bose surround ramped up whilst knocking back cold beers and afterwards a nice leisurely trip to the garden for a BBQ. Total cost £0 and none of the happy clappy crap for me!😬 Just hope we win

You brew your own beer and grow/breed all your own food? Impressive.

The velocity of a missile being launched at approximately 2.40 on Sunday from freckleton village hall is rocket science so stop bitching about water bottles & pear drops or any other confectionery of your choice being taken in a small bag in to the ground-& stop worrying- the debris will most likely land in that scrapyard 5 mins from Wembley where my van got keyed against West Ham- it cost me £10 to park there which was reasonable but the re spray was over £200
 
I think what Wembley quite often forget is the amount of people (like me!) who have to travel on the train and so will invariably be bringing stuff with us. Get there earlier enough, get your bags checked and it should be fine IMHO.
 
*** Wembley just sent an update: programmes will only be on sale outside the stadium. And a reminder that the concessions inside the ground (food, drink but no alcohol) are contactless payment only, no cash. ***

atb1835: I don't just make this stuff up! I checked with Wembley first. "The bag policy is fairly strict but if it's just a couple of cms then it should be fine." 😉 Also there is a bag storage facility (fee £10) so anyone with an obviously too big bag will be directed there and no one will be refused entry.

You only need to look at these prices charged at Wembley to know what it will be like to live up north in 2030.
How can they possibly justify £10 for that service and the scandal of being charged by T/M to print your own ticket?
