Re: Nigeria v Senegal, March 23rd, London.
I will give some advice to everyone who is planning to visit the Hive stadium for the first time:
Parking: the parking area looks good but it is nightmare to leave the site after full time as this generates heavy traffic. This would be take at least 20-30mins to leave the Hive. You need to purchase a parking token of £5 to park inside the area. It is better to park outside the Hive or near the tube Station.
Transport: It is better to get off at Canons Park tube station rather than Edgware tube station. It is only a 5-10 min walk. If you get off at Edgware station, you will need to get the 388 bus to the Hive.
Buying tickets: I would advise everyone to buy tickets online as early as possible because buying tickets on the match day could be difficult depending on the staff working in the ticket offices. If you buy tickets online, you can either pick them up at the ticket office or post them to your home address. Regarding where to sit, if you want to see the wide view of the pitch then go for the West Stand (B-F). There is a bar in the West stand. If you want to sit near the coaching staff, players and scouts, go for the East Stand (A, B, E + F).
Turnstiles: After buying your tickets, you will find a QR scan black code on the front of the ticket and you will need to scan that black code in order to enter the ground. There should be a member of staff to help you scan your ticket if you have any difficulties...
Bars and Tea Huts: They have two bars called Grazioli and Jubilee Bar for the home supporters (I have no idea what beer they serve) but they have decent customer service and they provide hot food I think. There is a tea hut that serves hot food- burgers, hot dogs, pies and also crisps and drinks. I have no idea on the prices. The Pecking Order restaurant should be available to all supporters. Of course, there are toilets.
Any questions, let me know...I will be there I think...

please what about parking on close by streets not more than 15mins walk?? should be free after 6.30pm - definitely driving down.
Re: Nigeria v Senegal, March 23rd, London.
Best option is to park around Camrose Avenue just outside the Hive at least and yes should be free after 6.30pm but make sure you find a spot as quickly as you can...walesvilla wrote:thanks for the info - booked online north (v Senegal) and south(v B/faso) total spent £30 for 2 games not bad at all.kenmega wrote:I will give some advice to everyone who is planning to visit the Hive stadium for the first time:

Selecting Victor Osimhen Over Stephen Odey Is Pure Injustice – Ex International Blast Gernot Rohr
http://owngoalnigeria.com/2017/03/04/se ... rnot-rohr/
The chairman of Kaduna United Emmanuel Babayaro has faulted the decision of coach Gernot Rohr to call up Victor Osimhen of Wolfsburg instead of MFM FC forward Stephen Odey.
Osimhen was included by the coach in the list of 25 players for the Super Eagles friendly games against Senegal and Burkina Faso in London later in the month.
The top scorer at the last U-17 World Youth Championship is yet to make a single appearance for Wolfsburg since his move to the German side became official when he clocked 18 years old.
Babayaro feels Osimhen should have been left alone to force his way into the first team plans of Wolfsburg instead of handing him a call up, ahead of Odey who has taken the Nigeria League by storm with five goals in the opening round of games.
” I can’t understand the thinking behind Osimhen invitation, yet it appears every one is silent because the decision was taken by Rohr, a coach who can do no wrong in the eyes of some people.
” Rohr is human and can make mistakes as well, and to me the decision to leave Odey out for Osimhen is pure injustice. The outcry would have been at it’s peak if the decision was taken by a Nigerian coach,” Babayaro told Owngoalnigeria.com.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Re: Nigeria v Senegal, March 23rd, London.
Sir V,
All I know is that he is currently top goal scorer in the league currently and was among the leaders in the past year. Personally, I have no problem with Osimhen given how we saw him play for the youth teams but the writer is got a point.

I thought Osimhen was only just recovering from some kind of knee surgery?

We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

The Ghanaian is the best midfielder in the park by a mile. Better than anyone Atleti has on the pitch today...

Sir V works near the area and he drives to work. I work in central London and ride the train to work. So either I finish work and head to the stadium, or I finish early go home and get the car.
