[Football] Big screen to watch the final

GingerBeerMan said:

Has covid scuppered the perfect storm for the final? We're looking for a big screen to watch the game but it seems everything is ticketed and sold out. Would Wembley have a big screen and tens of thousands of fans if it wasn't for covid?

I'm sure Wembley Park has a big screen.

I've worked at Wembley for every England game of this tournament (with and without having tickets.) It's worth it just for the tube, walk through Wembley Park station and under the tunnel and the scenes outside Wembley Arena. If you go through the gate on the right about halfway up Wembley Way you can get a couple of beers from Lidl along the way. If you haven't got a ticket, head back towards Wembley Central and there are loads of pubs/bars/hotels/restaurants that will be showing it. If it goes to ET, would recommend getting the tube at 11 at the latest as the late service to Brighton is not what it was 18 months ago and Three Bridges and the ensuing bus are not a great experience to have at 3am (although the 24-hour chip van and its owner there are excellent.)

Of the big screens, Boxpark doesn't let people in without match tickets and the two non-Wembley ones are usually sold out. The fan zone is worth a look but really tame for games, more like a picnic on tranquilisers.
