For those wishing to travel by train, the journey takes approximately four hours and requires three changes at Nottingham, London St Pancras and London Marylebone.

Wembley Stadium is also accessible by Underground for those who may have parked further afield, with Wembley Park served by the Underground's Metropolitan and Jubilee Lines and in Travelcard Zone 4.

Where to have a drink:

As of Monday morning (23rd), no pubs have been officially designated for either Mansfield Town or Port Vale supporters, so it’s worth researching where these are before committing to any in particular.

However, with Mansfield allocated the east side of the stadium in terms of seating, it could be that pubs on that side will be where most Stags fans will gather.

They include:

The Torch, 1 – 5 Bridge Road, Wembley, HA9 9AB

Crock of Gold, 23 Bridge Road, Wembley, HA9 9AB

Blue Check Café, 12 – 13 Empire Way, Wembley, HA9 0RQ
