We have our plan at last, meeting up for a few beers and lunch at the O'neils on the corner of Carnaby St, then round to the Torch.

Happy Days :D

You have to go through one of the shops to get to it.

So when they say "The area around Wembley is a "Controlled Drinking Zone" – it is an offence to have open-containers of alcohol in this zone. They will be confiscated plus risk of arrest."

Where does this zone begin/end? - i will probably stand just on the edge

Brown paper bag like an American wino, or some sort of tube system up your sleeve.

When I was there for the Millwall Swindon PO final there were hundreds of fans with open containers. Don't think they cared.. Also carried a can from TGM to the stadium when we were there.

Very common at Old Trafford to walk around the streets with cans of beer. Some of the newsagents, on match days only sell cans. Still can't help but feel like a pikey walking the streets supping on a tinny though.

As i said earlier in the thread, how are the police going to enforce this rule with 90,000 people in attendance? Saw plenty of drinking on the street prior to the Champions League final. The fact they mention off licences will stop serving an hour before kick off as well as the pubs suggests they know its going to happen.

I expect it'll only be the area immediately around the stadium. They do this at WHL as well, but it's only as you approach the ground.
