I think somebody on here said there were about 20 people who missed out.

not everyone is getting their tickets, 1 and a half hours in the online Q and nada available
I don’t think it is 21500 yet as the club said some wouldn’t be ready until tomorrow as they needed to be recoded?

@Maidstone Shrimper No they didn't! I was about 30 people away from the door of the Ticket Office (possibly another dozen or so inside(?)) when they said they had sold out. I'd estimate another 100 people were behind me. Got there at 11.30am walked away empty handed at 2.15pm Just shy of 3 hours and no ticket.
1 ticket required, all offers gratefully received...

If this is the actual reason for the cap then it’s an actual disgrace.

You'd think they would look longer term and think they could attract some pretty good sponsors by showing them the potential pull of a packed out Wembley.

Strongly wouldn’t suggest either fans try to go in the others end…we both have great fans and no need to create problems for no reason but it also robs a fan of the other team a ticket with their fans….I may not be able to get a ticket despite supporting the club through thick n thin for 40+years but I wouldn’t dream of denying a Shrimper a ticket.

In a weird parallel to events in the US where a journalist was invited by accident to a top secret chat group of senior government and military officials discussing an impending assault on Houthi rebels, by chance I found myself added a couple of weeks ago to the National League Board WhatsApp group. I didn’t mention it at the time but I thought it was now time to share extracts from what I was copied in on. Names redacted to preserve confidentiality. Apologies for fruity language in some places…
“Sure we won’t get caught out by this reduced capacity thing at Wembley?”
“Nah, we’ll be fine. It’ll be a York v FGR final and there’ll be less than 20,000 there”…
“What about Oldham?”
“York finished 20 points above them, they’ll steamroller them”
“What about Southend?”
“Southend?!
”
“”
“Haha - what is it, sideways and backwards everywhere they go? Stop winding me up…”
[Oldham v Halifax. Oldham go 3-0 up in 12 minutes against Halifax]
“Bloody hell, looks like Oldham could make the final”
“Nah, they’re away at York - they’ve got no chance. Keep your nerve”
…
[Rochdale v Southend, 5 mins before kickoff]
“Just in case anyone’s worried about Oldham getting through last night, I’ve bunged tonight’s ref £100 plus a bag of pork scratchings. He’ll see us right.”
“Good plan. Bit extravagant on the scratchings though?”
“No it’s fine, we’ve got plenty in petty cash. If we run short we’ll just fine Southend again for some made-up ****”
“Ah yeah, forgot about that. The gift that keeps on giving…”
[Rochdale take an early lead against Southend]
“Breathe easy guys
”
[Early in second half. Rochdale awarded very soft penalty]
“That’s £101 well spent”
“Nice work”
[Devante Rodney slams in the penalty for 3-1]
“Whoop whoop - told ya Southend were **** - their fans can bankroll our division for another season
“
[Parillon bundles in at the back post for 3-3]
“Er hold on guys…”
“Nah, they’ve got no depth, they’ll be out on their arses in extra time. Plus we bought the ref, remember?”
[Referee gives nothing when KAF bundled over when clean through on goal]
“That’s £101 VERY well spent
”
[Kendall nods in for 4-3]
“****”
“Bollocks”
[Full time. 4-3]
“Cheer up guys. York-FGR final still on. No way Southend will go down there and get a result”
…
[York v Oldham. Oldham take lead]
“Woah, that wasn’t supposed to happen”
“Long way to go guys…”
[Oldham score two quick fire goals to make it 3-0]
“Urgh, looks like the Latics are through”
“Still, a long way to travel down to London and no-one in Oldham has any money, they won’t take that many”
“You know they haven’t played at Wembley since 1994 right?”
“Well, FGR will bring three men and a dog so overall capacity will still be fine…”
…
[FGR v Southend. Goodliffe sends looping header into FGR top corner]
“Err, guys…”
“Plenty of time to go…”
[Inniss equalises]
“As you were - breathe easy”
[Full time. 1-1]
“Anyone nervous..?”
“Yeah I’m just starting to wonder…”
“They can’t, can they? They must be knackered after last week”
“Let’s hope so…”
“Just wondering…who out of us lot is giving out the medals and trophy at the final? It wasn’t me…”
“No it was you”
“No it was XXXX - he’s on holiday”
“Yeah definitely XXXX”
“Defo”
[FGR take a 2-1 lead 5 minutes into extra time]
“Get in!!!!”
“****ing have that you Essex ****s”
“Next year, we’ll see you all next year “
“Knew Dale Vince’s boys would do the biz”
[Jack Bridge equalises for 2-2 in the 116th minute]
“FFS”
“****”
“They’re like cockroaches aren’t they?”
“How far is Southend from Wembley? It’s miles away, right..?”
[Full time AET 2-2. Match goes to penalties]
“Ah guys…sorry, just had a call from my uncle in Australia. My Auntie Winnie has just died so I’m going to have to be out of the country for the next couple of weeks, really sorry”
“Haha- that’s bollocks, can’t believe you don’t have faith”
[Southend win penalty shootout 4-2]
“****”
“****”
“****ity ****ing ****”
“Do you think anyone will want to go?”
…
[Morning of Thursday 22nd May]
“Hi guys, just back from a fantastic 2 weeks holiday in the Maldives. No phone signal, pure detox from everything, it was heaven. I feel so refreshed. So - what’s been happening?”

My son managed to get 4 tickets booked online today, for us to come up from Cornwall.
Myself, son and granddaughters are in block213 , row11 . I can’t manage to reel in enough mobile data to my phone to see where we are sitting. I have a feeling that it’s behind one of the goals ?
It’s not important where we are in the stadium, but I’m just grateful to be going next Sunday.
I would just like to say that, I hope every single supporter gets the tickets that they need.
We all deserve to be at Wembley together for this special match.

I honestly don’t think this’ll happen. It’s not like the Essex accent and the Oldham accent are remotely similar. This would cause issues and I honestly don’t think either fanbase would be stupid enough to try it.
