Some useful matchday tips

When travelling to Wembley, remember to leave enough time to get to your seat.

Although some of the surrounding stations seem close to the ground the walkways can get very busy and it can take a while to make your way through the crowds and into your seat.

Without crowds, Wembley Park station is a ten minute walk to the ground, Wembley Central will take you 20 minutes to walk to and Wembley Stadium Station around 5-10 minutes, so please be aware of the distance and make sure you leave ample time to get to your seat and soak up the matchday atmosphere.

Kick-off times

Wigan Athletic v Arsenal (Saturday, 5.07pm)

Hull City v Sheffield United (Sunday, 4.07pm)

Health and safety information

Prior to the weekend games, we'd also like to remind fans that Wembley Stadium is a no smoking stadium, which includes E-cigarettes and Vapour Cigarettes.

There is also a strict policy in place which prohibits any form of pyrotechnic and/or smoke bomb.

Anyone found in possession of, or using, such objects will be ejected from the stadium and could face criminal prosecution.

And finally...make sure you do not miss your train home

For those making their way back on the train, please be advised that the following times are the last trains going to the following destinations:

Saturday
Wigan - last train departs London Euston at 20.31
Manchester – last train departs London Euston at 21.00
