Is anyone up for a pre-gig meet up (or p*** up) before the Wembley Arena gig? If so are there any good pubs in the area as the area near the arena is like a deserted wasteland abd IMO quality boozers seem a little thin on the ground in the Wembley area. Cheers!

Baker Street is the sensible option.

Sounds perfect... Unless anyone fancies going in the other direction and meeting in Watford... Er, no, thought not...

DAMN YOU! I wanted to put that!
I wasn't sure how best to convey a great big sax solo through the medium of a message board, so I left it.

Elementary my dear Blue
£40 to me for first Conan Doyle reference then I think :)
Without realising, Myself and Jarvo have both, independently, carried out years of extensive research into the best boozer within sniffing distance of Baker St tube. 
But we still don't know where the fuck we're going 
When ever I have been to Wembley I have gone to the Green Man. Quite close to the venue. When we last went it was a tenner to leave your car there for the day (and it is there when you come back!!!). Not sure if they still do that though.

Now, if only I could actually remember which pub I frequented when I used to work at Baker Street (not that we were actually allowed to even visit a pub at the place where I worked, let alone have a pint - same company as Dave)!
The big pub directly over the road from the tube station at Baker Street is The Globe. The Green Man is not a bad call and has been a regualr haunt every time Stoke City play at Wembley!

That would be THREE times before some cheeky cunt makes a snidey remark.

Baker St is probably the easiest for most people. Easy from anywhere in London, easy from Heathrow Express at Paddington, easy from Euston, Kings X, Charing X, Waterloo, London Bridge, Marylebone, Liverpool St. No excuses!
Isn´t that easy to meet someplace in Wembley so we can be close to the gig area(even walk to get there?)
by the way I booked a hotel in Wembley ´cause I thought you guys were going to meet close to Wembley Arena 
and to think i know wembley off by hard, there i was just about to make a similar thread, s*** i dont know of any good pubs near wembley arena, i know of a pub near wembley arena, when you walk out of the station (wembley park that is) you turn left and walk about 200 yards or more will know of the pubs name soon, since now you pickled my interest
Baker Street? thats like miles away from wembley arena
Hi everyone,
What time do you think the band will be on - 9pm? going to be a bit tight on time to get there due to other committments, but trying to get away from work as early as poss!
Thanks, Ant
Although it'd mean a longer journey as I'm coming from beautiful Watford and I'd have to go right past Wembley on the Met line, I'd prefer Baker Street... Be nice to travel en masse to the venue as well...

Due to work commitments, the general expense of getting to/from and staying in London town and the £60 fucking speeding fine I got driving to the Bournemouth gig I'm having to knock Wembley on the head. If anyone fancies a cut-price standing ticket please drop me an email ASAP.
Will still see folk at Wolves where I hope the pop group can pull their fingers out and attempt to rekindle the magic.
Poor Martin. Gabs Wish in manchester that night if you fancy it. Will be much better anyway!
Saying that, Wembley Arena would be good just to see how many people arent there!

so plenty of time to get up front

No doubt the gig will be fun, Liam, but amongst other things I have an impending deadline for an article going in a book. It's about J-Lo and RomComs. And how many people here could say that they had to miss a New Order gig because Jennifer Lopez's romantic desires got in the way, huh?

To be honest with you....... most people couldn't give a flying fuck about her, so you would be better off going to the gig!

This is true. Still can't afford it, though!
