    The thought that premier league games could take place here is amazing.

    apparently theyll have to invest like 10m just to be even able to do that.

    So I'm going to London for a wedding.

    Never been to a premier league game or any professional soccer game, but it's very high on my sports bucket list.

    I'm not staying too far from Crystal Palace... how hard is it to get tickets to one of these matches? It will be just me on the 28th of May.

    It'll be the last game of the season. Not sure how difficult tickets will be to get to, but Arsenal, Brentford, Chelsea, and Palace all have home games. Brentford host Man City that day which would be cool since they'll likely be lifting the trophy there(I think?)

    If you want to go to a game that this thread is meant for, the League 2 final is taking place at Wembley

    Out of all of the matches in South and West London it will probably be the easiest to get tickets to. Seems like most neutrals who want to see a match while visiting London end up at Selhurst Park. I don’t know any Palace fans but try the club website first. I would imagine City@Brentford and Newcastle@Chelsea are going to be pretty hard to get.

    Very happy with the final. Boro would've been a disappointing addition to boring ass Sheffield and Burnley.

    Think because we've seen them recently. It's always fun to have fresh teams and stadiums, that most people haven't seen before

    They were only down for a season. Just like to see a variety of clubs come up. It's not a reflection on how they play.

    The contrast of how they play now vs how they played when they were up makes them a little different to me (plus Kompany bias)
