Chaps - so when these tickets actually go on general sale on Sunday, will they all be via the Southend website or also via the Wembley website too??
Which do I queue in? Both?

Stan 1.0 was pretty goodIt's a simple narrative for Oldham and Southend. "Big" clubs aren't hampered like this so treat both clubs same as them and let you guys have your day at Wembley, allowed to "fill the place" too.
There's plenty of avenues to go down, worry not, it can and will be highlighted plenty in the next week.
Quite rightSo is there any chance of getting 35k+ or is that a total no go now?
Ticket numbers limited to 17.5k non coach travel fans, you only get more if you book by coach and these numbers are likely to be limited due to the lead time!
Being punished due to the closure of the tube stations despite the fact other major events have taken place under worse circumstances.
All of this out of the control of the clubs and fans, which they obviously don't care about
Same for meHoping to bag two in general sale. If any STH want to let me buy two off them instead that would be grand x
Going by other clubs playing in the play off all tickets were through their clubsChaps - so when these tickets actually go on general sale on Sunday, will they all be via the Southend website or also via the Wembley website too??

Anna FirthI forget. Who was the MP who was particularly motivated for us during the Ron Martin shenanigans? She wasn’t without her strong opinions and a little bit of clout as I recall.

The problem is even if we get more later on it totally screws those wanting to block book and be togetherAs farcical as the situation is, one thing from the statement gives me hope that everyone who wants to go will be able to:
"These stakeholders have been supportive and engaging which we are grateful for, and work continues to find creative solutions to lift the capacity.
We will continue to work with the parties mentioned above and other stakeholders over the Bank Holiday weekend with a view to identifying a road map to increase our allocation."
All parties are in a rush against time, and delaying ticket sales until we have the final allocation figure was just not feasible. The first batch of tickets needed to go on sale this weekend. Some initial data on sales from tomorrow will also strengthen our and Oldham's position that 17.5k plus x won't be enough to meet demand.
I'd hope that conversations over the weekend plus a bit of PR (Stan is on it already!) will see additional tickets released early next week.
Exactly this. No thought has gone into how close we are to London compared with Oldham. 50k should be the minimum initial target.Essentially we are being punished for being 45 miles or so up the road thus we have less demand for coaches as we as a club are so much closer than Oldham!
Money being left on the table here Wembley!!!
It crossed my mind - this has just left a bitter taste in the mouth - but it's not gonna happenPersonally - I think every supporter should make a stand and just boycott the match. Let them play in front of an empty stadium. It’s the only way the people who purport to run the game can be taught a lesson. Sadly they continue to take supporters as complete mugs. Captive audience etc and our devotion to the club let’s them get away with their corruption.
