And did you take the wee one?
Sorry, meant to say wasn't disappointed! Oops! Was a bit of a flying visit - bus from Campbeltown at 6.30am, train from Glasgow at 11.40am then into London at the back of 4 (train was excellent and made me realise I will use it in future as opposed to flying!). So was just a case of getting to our digs (an excellent youth hostel along from Euston Station btw) a quick couple of drinks and on to the tube out to Wembley. Suited me as I didn't fancy the whole Trafalgar Square thing - must be getting old!
Fans just mixed and banter was good. Couple of times there were a few angry exchanges but just down to drunkeness and ignorance on both sides. Stadium was unbelievable and then so was the atmosphere and game.
Interesting after the game that the police just let all of the fans out at the same time but it was that busy going down Wembley Way and then on the Tube that you could hardly move! So back to the digs, couple of pints and then bed before getting the 5.40am train back to Glasgow. First Class too
All in all was a great trip and good experience and next time I'd take the wee man (he had school the next day).
PS - I didn't boo the national anthem, incase anyone is wondering.
