Parking for Wembley Stadium

She's a heck of an artist and a heck of an individual. Much time and respect for her.

One of them went to see Duran Duran the other month. What do you reckon about that?🧐

Mate we went to see Sam Ryder last Sunday so I'm not going to cast the first stone against anyone

And very good and humble he was btw.

Well how daft is that?!

Always been the case - down line, up line with up being towards the major city; London in the UK. Seems to have a wider meaning today with Oxford Reference stating "The direction from a remote node toward a central or controlling node in a hierarchical network"

I've just looked it up to see who he is.🤔 He has long hair and a beard, so it's a no from me!🧐

Sorry to be pedantic about such a triviality, but I got pulled up last week on CC about my spelling of flower chutes, shoots, so I now feel the need to be a bit pedantic myself. Ok, here we go! To travel from Bristol to London you go across the country, not 'up'. This makes me think of that Panorama documentary made in the late 1970's about Millwall FC's hooligan gangs. One thicko said words to the affect of "Yeah, we're going to f..k..g Bristol Rovers to kick some f..k..g northern ponces heads in"! Thicko thought Bristol was 'up north'!!

Please accept my apologies if you are travelling up up to London from a south of London area and don't actually live in Bristol!!

Here in Bristol, most places are up !
In fact London is always deemed as going 'up the smoke'...

What, as in they don't travel in a west or an east direction? 🤔 🧐 So if I travel by train from Accrington to Blackpool I'll be going 'up' or 'down' to Blackpool'? 🤔

Down train to Blackpool Accy, down

Sequined jumpsuit.

I reckon at the weekends you could cut quite a dash

Two of my friends (ok the only two I have, but let's not dwell on it!) went to see Pink last week at some venue in I think Bolton. Not together but with their partners. One friend is 61, the other 60. They said the parking was terrible and it took over an hour to get off the car park. I wasn't really interested in that, more that two blokes in their 60's went to see Pink!!!

Is Bolton close to Wembley Stadium then, and would you recommend parking there?

@Accy cyclist in footballing terms we would go up to Swindon & Reading too !!!

Yes. You would be going "up".

Generally, the "up" line is traveling towards a bigger town than the "down" line.

Ooh, I read that differently. It's not simply a bigger town, it has to be towards a major destination, which Blackpool isn't. I reckon down.

Me and the family are travelling up to Wembley stadium next Saturday for the Harry Styles concert, ( I'm just the driver, not going in ).
We are travelling up by car and would like some advice for the best place to park and then tube or train into the stadium. We'll be arriving from the M4 West direction.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hillingdon, as its just off the A40 and Met line into Wembley Park. Uxbridge an alternative. Not clear whether you are going to train up to Wembley as well or amuse yourself for a few hours elsewhere. If the latter then you can always park somewhere residential and just pick up / drop off the your family at Hillingdon. Uxbridge has a couple of cinemas.

It’s not the 1950s

You've not been to Accrington, have you?

Since we've gone rogue, her live shows are incredible and she makes sure that her staff/people involved are paid a salary whether she's on tour or not.

She played at the SoL last night and the sound was so loud we could hear bits of the concert in South Shields some 6 miles away.

It was class when I lived in Roker, and if there was someone I wanted to hear I'd just stand in the car park of the Tesco next to the Stadium and listen for free!

Anyway, stadium parking, generally for the bigger ones is a nightmare, try to park further afield and get public transport or walk in.
