hi Guys

I have decided to bite the bullet and come to this years challenge cup final - wakey are not making it anytime soon and its been 11 years since I was in wake.

I will be going to the wigan game ( hopefully we can win and it keeps us up) I hope to have a beer with you all and to out to rest that I am actually Australian ha ha .


what pub do you drink at before or after games?

Jacobs well Tavern, Cliffe tree, The Ship, Wakefield Arms

I'm amazed you're coming to a Wakefield game.....
Or are you more interested in the cup final????

He'd be better in the ring of feathers

Come to mopsey wel welcome you with open arms

I’d pay to watch that

You've obviously not been to the Mopsey in the last twelve months.

more interested in wakeY game

cup final was more a excuse to get the pass from MRS BOJ.

Well, that's good to know.....

I'll have a pint with you buddy, I have family that works in the Ruddy Duck (5 minute walk from the stadium) so we'll make good use of the 40% discount



I'll PM you my mobile number and info.

any ideas on a place to say in London for the cup final?

No personal experience but there are a load of hotels around the ground and short walking distance from the tube station. Guess it all depends on your budget and other plans in London as to where you want to base yourself. If you are on a budget then consider Travelodge or Premier Inn (nicer than Travelodge). Staying in and around Covent Garden is a nice place in London and both chains have hotels there.

Yes I'd give the same Dvice.
Depends on budget and what you are doing over the weekend.

Wembley has a Hilton right next door which is really nice but you'll pay a premium rate now.
Hotels in Wembley away from the stadium are a bit cheap and not great area so stick to the Premier etc near by.

In the city there is plenty of choice.
If you have a decent budget Park Plaza on Westminster Bridge is really nice.
Better prices on Cromwell Road and Kensington

For best budget, get a Premier that's near a Tube Line out of town and just go in for the day.

You could even do Watford Premier and go see Harry Potter World too.

Usually get a good deal at weekends on the hotels round Canary Wharf and the Jubilee Line runs straight up to Wembley

Travelodge at Southwark; cheap and very cheerful,300 metres from tube on Jubilee line which runs straight to Wembley.

That's a good call actually.
I've done that before.

what sai to you get off for wembley - is it just wembely?/

would want to walk down Wembley way if that still exists?

Straight to Wembley.
Off tube, premier inn hotel that usually sets up beer tent in garden; Bob's your uncle.

I always stop in Watford. It’s cheaper for rooms, hotel parking is free and there is a train every 20 mins that stops at Wembley (takes about 15 mins).

If your getting there down the M1 it’s also very easy to get to as you turn off before the M25.

thanks all I booked!

see you all at the wigan game

back in oz now was great to visit the old town again - but wow how many pubs have shut down! Friday night was a ghost town in wakey - Saturday was just ok did the westgate run - sunday after the game went to the black horse that was great - the town seems to be dying no wonder there is no money for the league team.
