So we are East Side this time and different to 2014. No Green Man (wasn't a fan myself, found it run down ) & no Spoons then. Wonder what the pubs will be?

To find pubs near the east side of Wembley Stadium, you'll want to look on Empire Way and Wembley Park Drive. Specifically, these pubs are listed as being on the east side: The Blue Check, Wembley Tavern, Stadium Sports Bar, The Torch, and Crock of Gold. The Football Supporters' Association has more information on these pubs.

If we don't get The Green Man side of the pubs draw, it will probably be these, based on what pubs are allocated to Man City for the FA cup.
The Blue Check.
Wembley Tavern.
Stadium Sports Bar.
The Torch.
Crock of Gold.
Black Sheep.
Feed The Yak

Torch (Greene King) & Blue Check look okay. Torch has outside area

Tell me how much you hate Boxpark later, but who gets it? Palace have got it for the Cup Final, presumably to maximise profits. If that is the case then Charlton would get it or, when Wycombe beat them tonight, we would get it.
Expensive, but ideal for a pre-match shindig.

Haven't been there in many years, but the Crock of Gold used to be a cracking pub.

Where are the real ale drinkers going?

1 pm kick off, are people that desperate for Beer?

I'm having Heineken for breakfast. I've got a long commute.

Hamilton Hall (Wetherspoons) Liverpool Street Station was full of O's fans back in 2014. It was a cracking atmosphere.
They're open from 7 am, I believe.

2014 was a 3pm kick off & we lost, the atmosphere must have got left in the pub becuse it was rubbish at Wembley

As run down as the Green Man was, it’s where we’ve always gone. We should just take it over anyway.

Maybe that’s where we’ve been going wrong?

I was there, good atmosphere - excellent start to the day & then it all went wrong!

Half an hour walk from the Torch (longer if a bit merry)

Its exactly where we've gone wrong.

A quick beer or 2 & then concentrate on the Important promotion game. Celebrate all night after we Win

I couldn’t understand people going back to the Green Man after we lost in 2014. I was absolutely gutted, I just wanted to go home and cry.

I remember going back there in 1999,some o's fan in stretch limos wanted presents to take home to wives,sure we loaded cars up with hanging baskets,

Fox and Anchor in Farringdon. It has an early licence and is just six stops from Wembley Park.

Did someone force you to pay £10?

Don’t like it, don’t come. Simple.

Cheapest beer and food and £10 entry keeps out the chancers causing trouble. Every pub does it, glad you went someone else… Or did you?

Also I was going to Parish Pub (Irish pub ) someone mentions £10 entry. In which case will not bother. Realistically need to leave a pub by 12.15 anyway with 1.00 K.off
