Crystal Palace supporters are gearing up for a massive day out as the Eagles return to Wembley Stadium on Saturday, 26 April, for their FA Cup semi-final showdown with Aston Villa.
With the chance to book a place in the final, excitement is running high. And for many fans, the pre-match pint is just as traditional as the game itself. Brent Council has now released the official list of pubs where only Crystal Palace fans will be allowed in before kick-off.
Palace Fans Eye Historic Win
It’s been nine long years since Palace last tasted victory at Wembley. But with a solid run of form against Aston Villa this season — two wins and a draw, including a dominant 4–1 at Selhurst Park — Oliver Glasner’s side is brimming with confidence.
The Eagles sit 12th in the Premier League, having delivered memorable moments this season. Victories over Brighton and Hove Albion and strong performances under Glasner have lifted spirits in South London.
Crystal Palace’s steady progress has also been underlined by smart squad moves. Will Hughes recently signed a new contract, keeping him at the club until 2027. A semi-final win could make this campaign one to remember.
Matchday Rules: No Street Drinking
Before diving into the pub options, a word of caution — street drinking is banned across Brent this weekend. Anyone caught with alcohol in public areas like Olympic Way will be told to hand it over or face a £100 fine. So, it’s best to keep the drinks indoors.
