Re parking there is no onsite parking, however best thing to do is to use the very cheap park and rides at tube stations.
Last year i stopped off at Hillingdon park and ride, which is just off the motorway.
tubes trains are every 6 mins and take 20 mins to get to Wembley.
It also give the option of stopping off at places like Ickenham and drinking and eating there rather than at Wembley itself which gets overcrowded and over priced.
car park info for tubes here
www.tfl.gov.uk/roadusers/tubesta ... fault.aspx
please note if you book via wembley stadium they charge extra to park eg £5 instead of £1 so best go via TFL website

| Twenty quid?!?
Tell them it's a fiver or you'll spill the beans to the Inland Revenue!!
[£20 for every big event at Wembley - that's a nice little earner.

| just been looking at comparisons for our official coaches! How come we are paying so much compared to our co tenants? In the coming weeks Town play in Milton keynes and Bristol and the coach for these as £15.50 and £19. Southend was £20! Seems a massive hike for our big day!

| Perhaps the coach parking fees are a bit higher for Wembley? Might explain some of the difference at least.

Time to arrange it
i assume when the town busses were orderd it was months in advance, but the Giants had 3 weeks, and had to go to whatever company had the buses available.

| Personally speaking it would take something special to make me miss this one
But I would like to know if anyone knows how to get a petition sorted to make the powers that be aware of "possible problems" as I`m not technically PC minded enough
Running a bus as I often do to get Giants/Fartown fans to Cardiff/ big games / playoffs etc as economically as possible I find the Rugby Leagus attitude disappointing
At Warrington for the semis --there WERE concessions for "old fogeys " like me / children and students and that was fine and commendable (Id have paid "full price" if I had to!!)
However - at Wembley --------nothing
On club coaches -----------nothing
People such as Wishy /DG with youngsters (and Ponner and Lel ) have to pay full whack to let there children witness what could (hopefully not!) be a "once in a lifetime" experience
Dammit in my senior years -- its been 56 years since I saw em lift the CUP!!
Ken is pushing the game to youngsters- and that is extremely commendable - but the fact that a youngster has to pay full price at the stadium and on a coach is totally disgusting and negative - in my opinion!!
I also know two OAP`s - who have supported Fartown through thick amd thin - who - in these difficult times- now cannot afford to see them in what could be there last Wembley cup final
and after all that --if there are empty seats - and despite the "balance sheet" looking extremely healthy - to me it sends out the wrong ideals and images
Then--to say --if its a draw --that they`ll do the same "all over again" 10 days later is commercialism to the extreme
But sadly - in my eyes - that is one of the negatives about this "great game"
Teams compete and consider salary caps all season - and that is par for the course
But - come the games no 1 showpiece -- it appears its " milk the fans "-yippee!!
Yes - I fortunately CAN AND WILL afford it -- and many more will make sacrifices to be THERE
But I sincerely believe that in these difficult time and because of this "immoral" pricing structure the powers that be levy - there will be quite a considerable number of fans "young"/ "older" and of limited means from Hudds / Warrington and the teams of RL in general who will miss this great day because there are greater financial priorities in their lives than an expensive (? ) trip to the capitol to watch the final
For there then to be empty seats - at a televised showpiece - I find very very shortsighted and a negative impact on the "advancement" of the sport!!!!

| I agree Crackers - i'm still unemployed and on Jobseekers allowance and i am taking my youngest for the day as its his birthay the same day and i promised him if we got to Wembley i would take him as his birthday 'present' o i've got 2 lots of 'adult' prices to pay.
I am seriously struggling to afford it but the day i miss seeing Fartown at Wembley will be the day hell freezes.
but a little help in these hard times especcially for us less fortunate ones wouldn't go amiss.

| In response to Crackers!
I agree that due to the family orientations of RL that the non concessions of Wembley is out of order for possibly a once in a lifetime event. But the thing is Wembley is still paying for it's rebuild and for all events regardless they are no concessions, as far as they are concerned a seats a seat and the RFL have to abide by that till the debt is paid and many complaints are considered. We have to be grateful that the prices are cheaper than say a Football League Play off a meadiocre competition in comparison and yet more expensive to watch.
My main gripe is with the official coaches, as someone has pointed out they had to be arranged at short notice but so too did Towns trip to Newcastle next week. And also if Warrington can get theirs so much cheaper and include consession prices I do feel out own supporters are being fleeced somewhat!
For the record Cobi and I are going with Daz.

| I have a spare train ticket from Leeds to Kings X for the game. Leaving Leeds at 8.40 am arriving Kings X at 11.20. Return in the evening at 8pm back in Leeds for 10.30. Train back to Hudds at 10.40 (not included in Tkt).
I'll be travelling with my 2 sons to the match and the spare ticket seat is with us. The tickets cost £50 online 2 weeks ago but now are £160 on these trains althoughyou can get a cheaper later train going down for £120.
I'd like to get £50 but will listen to offers.
Mail me if you're interested.
This'll be my 30th RL final and 3rd Fartown/Giants one. It's got to be 3rd time lucky!!!

| Hope everyones got their free Car stickers from the club shop. I've picked up a couple but as I don't have a car one is proudly showing on my bedroom window! Haven't actually found a car yet with one in it's window though!
So Daz if the driver doesn't mind I should have some for our bus! As well as a couple of scarfs!

| Doubt if it should affect many of you but the Bakerloo line is out of action in the centre of London until Monday - no trains between Paddington and Elephant and Castle.
