Wembley Park

'They' were advertising for extra station staff to cover this event, so from that point of view I suspect bottoms were well protected from anything brown hitting any fans................assuming you follow my anology ;D ;D

I had the pleasure of going yesterday so witnessed this first hand. It coped very well from a spectator's perspective. There were severe delays on the Met on the way there so we stayed on the Jubbly which seemed to cope well with the extra demand. We were well informed of this on the way by the driver, and advised not to change at Baker Street due to overcrowding.

Naturally it was a bit of a crush on the way back but IMO it was managed well, the crowds were directed in an orderly fashion so there wasn't any overcrowding once you got to platform level. It probably took around 20 minutes to exit the stadium, walk down and get into the station. Not bad considering there was about 55,000 if us. I've experienced far worse elsewhere (anyone trying to get on the fish and parcels after a Chelski game will know this!) It was quite nice getting on a fairly empty Met train on platform 6, whilst watching the vast majority of people on plats 4/5 trying to ram themselves onto trains

Comedy moment of the day: Whilst filing in an orderly fashion going back into the station, a couple of blokes jumped into the bushes in front of the hotel by the station. 15 seconds later, a large thermos cooler came hurtling out of said bushes to the loud cheers by their mates. Shortly afterwards (to rapturous aplause), there's 10 blokes sat out cracking open a can of Stella each whilst waiting for the crowds to subside. Their reasoning? "What do you expect us to do, we're Geordies, we plan for these occasions!" Genius plan, well executed if you ask me!
