Only You x SUFC 🦐

Southend pubs confirmed! 🍻 See you at The Torch and Globe (Baker St) UTB 🦐

🎟️ This evening, we have been provided with a final batch of tickets to increase our Promotion Final allocation that will go on sale at 7:30pm. An update for supporters ⤵️

🚨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:

Please sign and share my petition to give Southend United and Oldham Athletic fans more tickets for Wembley @AllAtSeaFanzine @shrimperstrust @OfficialTBV @SZtweets @fan_southend1 https://t.co/ccKSUU2YQQ

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

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.

Stop discriminating against grassroots football @DavidBSampson @BBCSport @SkySports @ITVSport @DAZNFootball @TfL @MayorofLondon @TheVanaramaNL @FA https://t.co/Pyop53PFsW

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

Together as one 💙 Thank you to everyone who's come down to help us get ready for tomorrow!

💪 Strength in numbers. The figure just keeps rising 📈

Give or take £1m in a week. With no football on, before payday.

@DonsEssex @AllAtSeaFanzine we will own the training ground straight off the bat. Roots Hall will be leased for peppercorn rent until there is enough value in the Fossetts Land (i.e. after planning permission) to move the charge over. We will look to put a deal explainer out early next week
