walrus.

PM me if you like.  I live near the stadium and you could park at my house.

When is the game?

Room for more than one?

The prices are pretty much £20 everywhere now and bizaarely £15 the nearer you get to the ground because it'll take forever and a day to get home if you park anything less than a 10 minute walk away.

Once you get to Ikea/Tesco you want to start looking to park up and walk we've found as if you get into the one way system you're buggared for getting home at a decent hour.

Check the train times between High Wycombe and Wembley and park at one of those stations...

I'm trying this, at least it'll be the locals getting my money this time, rather than some scroat with the bertie big bollocks to park other peoples car on private land.

It can be a shocker geting out of there in a car.
If the tube strike does go ahead, then it will be 10 times worse
I have parked at stanmore and its just a couple of stops on the tube, but need to be early as its busy
I always get the train from grantham (subject to tube strikes of course) you can get a return to kings cross for £30 per person for off peak travel, you can pay nearly that in parking.

If you fancy a swift pre match beer the I highly recommend the Green Man on Dagmar road

They have a car park which you can use! its not rammed like a lot of the pubs near tube stations but has a great atmosphere
