Wembley tickets

[Holy Joe]

O

I thought they were only referring to coach and minibus bookings made privately and NOT through the Trust or club. I stand (well.....lay in bed) to be corrected.

Ah could be correct. It would make sense for club and trust to coordinate.

 

[jphfitz]

So if a mixed group of season ticket and non season ticket holders have already filled a private coach ..will they all get tickets from outside the initial 17500 allocation ?

The capacity of that vehicle will be added to the allocation but all individuals will have to buy from the club in line with club priority guidance.

Forest Green Rovers Ticket Office is helping Wembley sort out the ticket allocation!

What telling them that you now don't need your 300 tickets.

Ok, this is the latest. From a "friend".

"Spoke to Andy Burnham tonight and we’re going to speak in the morning. Tbf, I think it’s a little misleading and not as horrendous as it sounds. From what I’m told the 17,500 cap is only for those who can’t get a coach. According to Oldham there’s an allocation of an extra 9,000 for those who can get a coach (so 26,500 each in total) and if they sell out there’s a good chance they can order more…"

That's the position tonight which I know you'll all have heard versions of but both clubs have made representation along with a few big dogs in media and sport who are on it too.

My view is enough pressure will see TFL and the Mayor fold, especially with the community angle ( government supposed to be supporting the pyramid and community sport) or will have to find a way of opening the capacity by way of both clubs "proving" numbers and need for more tickets.

TFL/Mayor then say "there's 55k at the game, we listened ", while not changing the planned works. As I said, that's the position tonight and it's early days.

Fair to say that this will grow and grow by the day as long as supporters do everything to plan ahead ( coaches), both clubs ( who are) putting pressure on and perhaps most importantly, big voices "put it out there" wherever they can.

Will keep you posted.

This will be one hell of a week for the staff as I know all the stress/ deadlines Apes has being going through at Orient and it is not just about tickets there is so much more - more than I ever realised tbh
I just hope people don’t turn their frustrations or anger in the staff

They won't and that statement was superbly written, despite the shambolic situation they are in

 

[geoffmundo]

Ah. She’s not my MP and I’m not overly bothered one way or the other on that bit, but if anyone knows her, she might still be able to connect some dots. She wasn’t previously afraid of the exposure.

She was also at Gateshead I think.

200 more than we need!

Sorry if this has been discussed already but am I reading this correctly and the blocks behind the goal aren’t on sale?

You're forever a legend Stan, thank you for all your efforts here, massively appreciated.

Blocks not for sale are in grey. Rest is open for sale

Also presumably constituents can contact their Labour MP’s in the 2 Southend wards..??

Matt Slater (writer for The Athletic and Southend fan) is starting to share the word, I've asked if he plans to write an article on it as the piece writes itself on the way proper clubs are continually ****ed on, we'll see if he replies.

[tommy tucker]

f you can get a ticket what are the chances of getting a seat on a coach leaving the hall .

She was - sat in front of us

 

[Farmer Fossett]

So we need 180 coaches to get the max 26,500 allocation.

 

[wally4pm]

As a non season ticket holder but a shareholder who lives in Norfolk, I have just attended Gateshead, Rochdale and FGR and also booked a hotel for the weekend on the outskirts of London, I will be furious if I can’t get a ticket. I imagine every coach company in Essex will need to be contacted on Monday to source as many coaches as possible to increase our allocation. TFL have completely ruined our big day.

180 coaches end to end, would look something like a train.

Maybe they should put more of those on?

 

[Shrimper44]

I 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.

That's easily done for us. We took 34,000 to the last play off final and a similar number to the JPT final, IIRC.
