Wembley is a 'better' stadium. Twickenham has the nostalgic,
rough around the edges charm. Both an absolute nightmare to get
away from but Twickenham slightly worse imo.

Wembley is better all round for less of a headache on the day.
The stadium footprint is just better with the layout of things.
Plus its slightly more accessible with two tube stations in fair
close proximity with better links to central London.
But, Twickenham is a nicer day out in terms of physical
surroundings. Wembley is a cesspit

Wembley is a nice stadium in a crap part of town. Twickenham is
a crap stadium in a nice part of town.

Wembley better stadium and far better travel links, no one would
ever build Twickenham where it is today, because of the travel
links and the local authorities insistence on not allowing other
events, which again is largely due to the travel links.

Twickenham is better for getting a drink and the pre and post
match entertainment.
Wembley just had soulless counters dispensing drinks

Massive queues at Twickenham, though, in my experience. Apart
from at the old LDHs.

On Saturday, I got 2 beers in the West fan villagey bit in about
2 minutes and another round at half time in about the same
amount of time. We were upper tier though which thins the crowd
a little. And I missed George's second droppy ☹️
The complaint about Twickenham that always gets me is that it's
expensive for beer.

As a Northerner, yes that sounds a stupid amount for a beer but
it's fairly standard for London. Is Wembley that much cheaper?

It is £7.85 for a pint of Stella Artois at Wembley.
