hi mate how many rows is there in the top tiers im in block 515 row 19 is that near the top ?

row 2 block 105 heres hoping monas gets over in that corner

No idea how many rows there are but I was in 14 in 2009 and I think that was about half way up.

A tad off topic but what restrictions are imposed by Wembley with regards to flags etc. I would like to take a Wire flag to have a wave of, but 2 years ago I saw Wembley staff take a flag 'pole' off a fan because it was not the required size etc.

I took a yellow and blue checkered flag in 2010 and it didn't get taken off me. I might take it this time but probably won't bother as it was an inconvenience to carry around.

topic on the VT covers a bit

Thanks for the replies Guys, I did scour the Wembley site to no avail.
After following the link kindly supplied by wolfinwidnes I have come across the following........

'Flags more than 250cm in size at their widest or longest section will not be allowed and flagpoles greater than 1m in length will not allowed'

anybody any idea on how many tickets we have sold , dont know of any announcements at the moment ?

After last time, i wouldn't do it again unless i was trying to get to my fighting weight the next day

Haven't got a clue how many we have sold but I went today at 4pm and they had piles & piles of tickets for sale. The lady told me that ALL of the Wire lower tier is sold out and the only tickets left were all upper tier.

No sales figures have been released yet but we have an initial allocation of 15k.

If only we had done decent flags. I like the primrose and blue "Where you go 'Wire' we'll follow" one.

wonder if our numbers will tail off from previous years with it losing it's novelty appeal?

Don't think they will, we have won our previous Wembley games and people have now gotten the taste for it.

A number of people I know who went in 09 & 10 for the day are this year making a weekend of it, in much the same way that many now do for the Perpignan weekend.

I think what we will not see is the mad rush for tickets of 2009 & it will now be more of a measured response. For example I am a S/T holder but didn't get my tickets until today.

I know a number of newbies that are making their first visit.. Recently come over from wendyball and are hooked! Hopefully at least as good as the last visit!

Glory hunters?

Bring them all and dress them in P&B.

I have emailed Wembley Stadium regarding taking flags & their response is below.

GUIDANCE FOR USE OF FLAGS AT WEMBLEY STADIUM
Wembley Stadium recognises that many supporters like to display flags when attending
events. The following guidance has been created to assist visitors in ensuring their flags
meet with the health & safety standards & ground regulations of the Stadium.

SUPPORTER FLAGS
• Flags more than 250cm in size at their widest or longest section or flagpoles greater
than 1m in length are not permitted.
• Flags should be positioned so as not to obstruct gangways, access routes, exits and
entrances, health and safety signage or stairways.
• Wembley Stadium reserves the right to confiscate flags if they are very large or may
compromise public safety, obscure someone’s view, a camera position or if a flag
carries offensive, discriminatory or inflammatory messaging.
• Any articles that could potentially be used as a weapon and/or compromise public
safety are strictly prohibited.

CROWD FLAGS
• Permission must be sought in advance from the Stadium and event owner to arrange
use of the very large supporter flags that are designed to be passed over people's
heads.
• In such cases the flag must be flame retardant and the organiser bringing the flag into
the stadium will need to provide the appropriate H&S certification and method
statements detailing how the activity will be undertaken.
• Crowd flags cannot be carried through public turnstiles.
• Crowd flags can be used in level 1 of the Stadium only and the release and capture of
the flag must be done in a controlled fashion. The event owners designated
entertainment company may be able to assist in managing this activity on your behalf.
• It is the Stadium’s experience that larger flags travel across the crowd better and are
easier to manage than smaller flags. This is because the direction of travel cannot be
controlled by individual fans. It is therefore recommended that flags are no smaller than
12m x 12m in size, with flags as large as 15m x 30m operating successfully in the past.

we should bring back the barmy army flag to pass around on the lower teir

Agreed. Don't forget there's a lot more time between the semi and the final this year, whereas in previous years there's only been a fortnight.

What's the view like from the top tier?

Also what's the atmosphere been like up there in the last two times we've been?

Cracking view and cant fault the atmosphere. My daughter insisted that we went "up top" again. Block 509 this year which is a bit further round to the corner than we were the last two times.

The view is better from the upper and I was surprised how good the atmosphere was up there in 2009.

On the back row of the lower in 2010 I had a grumpy old Featherstone fan to my left, a loved up couple holding hands to my right and two Leeds fans in front of me.

I always get tickets from the RFL website rather than the club because I find it more convenient though, so I suppose you pays yer money you takes yer choice and all that.

Back in the upper this time, but as I said previously that's just because I fancied a change after three previous visits for football this year already which were all in the lower.

brilliant view in 2010 i was sat basically as the warrington end finished and the leeds began and we were all singing their songs for them as they went a bit quiet brilliant atmosphere
