    Unbelievable.

    Surely change the day, make alternative transport arrangements, or move the match to somewhere in the midlands like Villa Park. Roughly equidistant between Oldham and Southend, would be an amazing atmosphere as close to a sell-out. Far too simple.

    The FA opted to build an expensive national stadium - usual vanity project , - London centric nonsense, now they have to wring as much money as they can out of it.

    Rebuild of stadium has been paid for, pure greed now, although in this instance won’t be due to ticket limits

    I get what you are saying.
    But the the experience of wembley. Is what most players and fans want. Jack Tatty makes a point. Those that support the clubs throughout the season. Will hopefully get tickets to the game. For most of the others it's a day out. Wanting to win. But come next season won't be visiting their home grounds. It surprises me the low number of coaches that are sourced due to crowd limit. A daft reason imo.
    Let the clubs keep filling em.
