🚨We are not giving up easily! 🚨 We have now established that the final blocker to releasing more tickets to the Southend United Football Club final this Saturday is purely down to Wembley Stadium. Here is an open letter we have sent to the FA’s and Wembley’s CEO.

🧵LOTS of confusion over the ticket allocation for the National League Play-Off Final, Oldham Athletic & Southend United at Wembley on Sunday, June 1. So, after some digging, here’s the latest & how we got to this suboptimal situation. 1/12

This thread perfectly lays bare how we've ended up in the mess we now face re the National League play-off final.

'Unfortunately, the excitement on both sides has been trampled on by the seemingly-amateurish planning of several key stakeholders around next weekend’s final' Supporter groups disgusted by ticket allocation for Wembley final Read here: echo-news.co.uk/sport/251896…

Big row developing - we need @SadiqKhan @TfL to sort this. ⁦@OfficialOAFC⁩ & ⁦@SUFCRootsHall⁩ meet in the Play-Off Final next Sunday but because of engineering works there is a restriction on numbers as Wembley Park station will be closed. This is ludicrous

Dear @SadiqKhan @TheVanaramaNL @TfL What Stan said - The Spurs has 60k capacity and one station, ditto the Millennium with 80k. Wembley despite restrictions will have better transport links than either so why can't it allow ALL OLDHAM & SOUTHEND FANS IN? BONKERS & A DISGRACE
Dear @SadiqKhan @TheVanaramaNL @TfL Oldham play Southend on June 1st at Wembley for a place back in the Football League. Both clubs have huge numbers who want to attend and support their team, just like Palace, City, Forest, Villa and Liverpool fans have this season without issue. Because of engineering works the suggestion is a restriction on numbers as Wembley Park station will be closed. This is neither the fault of either club and the proposed cap on supporters, many of whom will be visiting Wembley for the first and maybe last time are being unfairly punished. The record for a NL playoff final is 47,000. It's safe to say that without restrictions this record would be broken, but any cap would not only be unfair to supporters who don't often get the opportunity for a Wembley day out but would probably not be implemented would this be a Premier League or England national team game. Clubs in the pyramid need every opportunity they can get to shine, compete and grow their supporter base and Wembley is always an opportunity to do so, along with stimulating support in the communities of Oldham and Southend respectively. Mr Mayor, as we have followed each other for some time on here, I'd be more than happy to set out a thousand reasons why it is important for both clubs to be fully represented at Wembley, and should only be afforded the same privilege as any club, namely to "fill the damn place". National League and EFL clubs are hamstrung enough in this day and age where the top of the pyramid rules, I hope between you you could find a sensible solution to allow Oldham Athletic and Southend United supporters their day too. Stan Collymore.

So because Oldham can source more coaches than us they can have an extra 7,500 allocation. In what world is that reasonable? Both clubs should have the same shocking allocation. What an utter shambles and I fail to believe this couldn’t have been avoided @TheVanaramaNL

The @TheVanaramaNL have been nothing if not consistent since we've been here. Remember the £1m bond? The double punishment for one offence last year? My 5-year-old could do a better job standing on her head. Jokers.
I have no words. Both clubs and their amazing supporters deserve so much better than this.
