Wembley tickets

Quite possibly, but they're a provider hired by a client.
Why would they care whether a ground that holds 90,000 has 40, 50, or 60,000 inside?
Because it’s the FA and they are supposed to remotely interested in the fans- of course I know this is a concept they increasingly forgot. The FA being more interested in their client than the fans would neatly sum what a disgrace they are..
 
Please don't take this the wrong way, I am just intrigued

Obviously some of our fans are "Man united or Man City" fans who also follow latics. So this isn't a pop at Southend.

I keep reading that some of yours are West Ham & Spurs who also follow Southend. Why Spurs? It's not exactly close to Essex.

My mum's auntie moved to Basildon and they all are West Ham fans. I get they have the "East end & outward" But why Spurs? Or is this a complete myth?
The East and North east London migration from the 50's onwards were all Spurs and West Ham. No true north of the river Londoner could stomach Arsenal back then.. and no one can stomach any team that tries to call itself 'The'
 
To people who have been to Wembley before ( last time I went was 10 years ago 😀)

Friends have 4 tickets in 112 bottom tier, I have a ticket in 216. Do I have any way of getting into their block and is all shuffling along and sitting together (assuming everyone isn’t standing).

I am guessing I would not be able to get into their tier/level?

Thanks in advance

If your tickets are checked properly then I’d say no. But when there is that many people in and around the entrances then it’s hard to check. Guess it’s a give it a go and find out
 
My parents moved early 50is to the Southend area but still remained Spurs supporters and occasionally went to WHL but due to financial reasons dropped off going and subsequently started to follow Southend United when I followed.Our fan base is made up in similiar ways but whilst there family Roots are elsewhere it's more fun in following your local club.Ironically I have seen many Man U supporters leaving Southend on some Saturday's to travel up to UT.In the current state they are in I am surprised they bother cost alone
I live in centralish Southend (SS2 postal area), and nearly everyone in our street seems to have moved from North/North East London. Traditionally the movement was Tottenham/Edmonton to Cheshunt and Broxbourne. They are both really expensive now, and Southend has good train connections to London. There used to be a Spurs shop in the High Street - that I could never understand.

Although in fairness the Southend club in Tottenham High Road was a tougher call despite memories of Austin and Justin.

Let your pals go in to block 112, wait outside and get one of them to come back out with two tickets. Once we got through the main turnstiles without a ticket, it worked like a charm in the 70's, bunked into 3 FA Cup finals and 2 League Cups finals.
