Sun shade at Wembley - which end?

[Eddiecolquhounsleg]

Huddersfield was absolutely roasting with the sun beating down - I didn't bring a hat either!

I went with my grown up son. I took a cap, he didn’t. We spent the match going to the toilets every 15 minutes, soaking the cap in water, then wearing it, before swapping over. If I recall the Red Cross or St John had a water station set up and all I did was take two cups, poured one over my head and drank the other. What larks.

I missed the whole first half of extra time queueing for water, fun times those

I didn't initially but managed to adopt a red and white jesters hat from a pub off a fellow blade, that gave random tanlines!

We've already scouted some lovely cooling garms for you chaps to wear, available from your local friendly Chinese drop-shipper...

Now we all know and have the vision of what Foxy wears for bed. Thanks for that!

Huddersfield was torture then they had the audacity to go to xtra time & pens ..
I was out of that stadium before simonsons penalty hit the ground ...
Although some think it's still in orbit

Apart from Pride Park on a freezing night, this match was my worst experience in 60+ years of watching.
Go again and sit in the sun at huge expense ? No thanks.

Every club in the north needs the new old trafford to be used as an alternative to Wembley. Semifinals , play offs need to have a northern option.

 

[Aston max]

Brollies or parasols then?

I'm going with parasol

For anyone interested this is a screenshot from the Cov Luton game 2 years ago which KO at 16:45 - just before Gus scored on 66 mins (so roughly 6:10??)


The shaded bit in the corner is the "family" section. So you might just be ok if you have a ticket on the North side (and its a 5:30 KO).

And this is leeds-Southampton last year, 3pm kick off, 24 mins in




You'll roast on the North side if its a 3pm KO and sunny (and hot I guess) and you are towards the lower tier

I suppose it's not very practical if it rains either.

This might be better...

Cheers

The run rises from the east and sets in the west so you’d imagine at 5:30 we’ll be getting the full force of the sun..

It hits mainly the expensive seats though, so our fans won't be affected

Are we at the same side of the ground as we were for the Man City & Hull games a week on Sat ?
Am I right in thinking on our previous visits it was

Man City - East
Hull - East
Huddersfield- East
Burnley -West
Palace & Pigs not sure as it was old Wembley ?

 

[ZoneManWilf]

Pigs West
Palace East
Burnley East
Huddersfield East
Hull West
Man City West
Sunderland East

 

[aj72]

From memory-against pigs we were at west end, and east end for palace

 

[Selly]

Pigs West
Palace East
Burnley East
Huddersfield East
Hull West
Man City West
Sunderland East

So, if we want to lose, we need to be seated in either the East or West side?

Good to know...

I always wear a diving suit and balaclava so never been a problem

And all because the Bladey loves Milk Tray.

That will suit my mood.

Did a bit more research in another thread based on a 3pm KO

Statistics Post in thread 'Your Wembley seat'

May 14, 2025

Found a couple more photos from the 2018 L2 playoff final KO 3pm

This is just before KO

Beans I reckon 115 is somewhere in that area I highlighted




And this is when Coventry accrued their 3rd on 69 mins, so roughly 16:30



I reckon you'll be Ok if it's a 3pm start, unless it goes to ET in which case you might get the sun at that point depending on precisely where you are in 115 as this image from Sheffield Wednesday (1990) 123rd minute winner in 2023 indicated (also a 3pm KO)

I've never bought seats expensive enough to see that sun as I'm always in the cheapskate area right at the back!

 

[Booker4]

I've actually being in that sunny end and won! Sadly it wasn't united though! I went to see Blackpool with my mate who is a Blackpool fan. It was nice to go without the nerves that I normally have with united because obviously I wasn't massively bothered whether Blackpool won. I had three burgers that day too!

3 burgers in Wembley?

No, I should have clarified that! I'd have needed a loan to afford that. One at Leicester Forest East, one near Wembley and another on the way back, think it was Leicester Forest East again! Lol! My mate had a falafel wrap and I'm still disgusted about it now!
