Wembley tickets

I am not lashing out at STHs at all. I am simply saying 4 tickets per STH is too much with the restrictions and will leave little to none for proper supporters who still go to a lot of games. Giving adults 2 extra tickets and kids 1 extra ticket would be fair. As it stands an adult and 2 kids with season tickets can get 12 which I don’t think is unfair to say is excessive considering the restrictions
You suggested STHs will mean only 5,000 true Shrimpers there. It might achieve the opposite and ensure majority of the allocation are Shrimpers.

If 10k make general sale tomorrow, you're up against people who have never seen us play. This way around allows STHs to give fellow SZers and other actual supporters a better chance.
 
In a way that would be ideal as it would then ratchet up the pressure for a solution- slower sales would have the suits sitting their hands. Sell them in 48 hrs then go absolutely potty.
I am wondering if this is why seasons can get x 4 and there doesn’t appear to be a clear limit on general sales.
 
Morning shrimpers.
Do all coaches leave from Roots hall or are any going from elsewhere?
This ticket issue is crazy and I feel for all us supporters that live away from the area but would definitely want to go to Wembley.
I have my dad who's in the Chelmsford area so id have to travel from the north into Chelmsford to collect him and then drive to Southend to catch a coach to go back to Wembley. Totally crazy as I'm not a season ticket holder so my chances of a ticket are slim.
Watermill in Basildon I believe
 
Doing the rounds on WhatsApp, has anyone else heard this story?

“Right. Straight up facts from the club, they’ve just emailed after I asked what the delay was.

DAZN and the national league are furious that the semi was ruined by the pitch invasion and Gus was almost seriously injured, thus damaging their product and the perception of the league.

For this reason, the NL asked Wembley to reduce our allocation to 17.5k, but the club have said that’s outrageous and unfair, pointing out Oldham fans were on the pitch at York too. So the NL said fine, we’ll apply the same to Oldham.

Now the club are panicking as they know we could potentially sell twice that number and have agreed with the league and the FA they will identify everyone on the pitch and ban them from the final.

Only once they’ve given over all the names and proved the fans on the pitch will not get a ticket, will the NL and Wembley and DAZN agree a higher allocation.

The police are helping pore over the footage and it’s understandably taking time.

Frustrating for everyone, but it’s been ruined by those who couldn’t contain their excitement and heed the warnings clearly issued during the game.”
Nice one @MountainDrew . Jackanory, Jackanory.
 
If the majority of the 17,500 who get the tickets are like me and my entourage, ( day trippers) it could be a pretty quiet Wembley, as we don't know the songs. This whole day is turning into a farse and if the atmosphere is going to be that sh*t I'm wondering whether i want to go at all now but save our places for those who will guarantee to cheer the boys on.
