My Dad and my son are going on Saturday. They are getting the train there but I want to collect them on the way back to make their life a bit easier. Where would you guys suggest I pick them up from? They will be in the Man U end.

Where are you going to afterwards? Don't attempt to drive to anywhere near Wembley. Meet them at a convenient Tube station in your direction of onward travel.

North / East - Stanmore

South / West - Rickmansworth or Hillingdon

rofl That figures!

They need to get the overground from Wembley Stadium station to West Ruislip. Queue D at the station. Pick them up at West Ruislip, onto M40, M25, and you're away.

Get them to leave on the final whistle, and not to hang around for Chelsea to lift the cup.

Agree with this, but I would tell them to get off at the next station after West Ruislip, which is Denham, as this offers much easier and quicker access from/to the A40 and easier places to park up while you wait for them.

Yes, actually that is a better idea.

If you are not in a rush to get home you could always meet at the Bobby statue that faces head on opposite LU Wembley park.

Today will be a nightmare getting away from Wembley.
