The full force of the blame should be aimed directly at the NL. They would have known about this for a long time and regardless of who got to the play offs it is clear they had no intention of getting the top tier open. Every single decision they make is the completely wrong one. When was the last time they done anything in the fans best interest? It is a huge mess and one that I assume could be fairly easily sorted but they won't pay any more than bare minimum and hope the **** storm blows over.

Lets direct the anger at the NL representatives when they are introduced to the players on Sunday, lets make sure what we think of them
 
It’s actually crazy how some bright spark has decided that coaches are the only way to allow extra supporters to travel and aren’t budging from that position.

Surely staggering pedestrian traffic and queueing on route to the available stations (even if a large distance away) is better than having hundreds of coaches and people trying to get on them… madness!

Still maintain this would have never happened for any match in the EFL or Prem… We’ve been shafted by the NL and disappointing that no creative solutions other than coaches have been generated.

Why is there a huge thumbs up for hundreds of coaches but seemingly nothing on a shuttle bus from stations near Wembley? Mental.

Why are TfL getting the majority of the hate on here? These works would have been planned long in advance and they arent going to change that to alloy a few extra Southend fans to go to Wembley.

To all the Southend fans without tickets I really hope they sort something out and you all get to come along. I am gutted for everyone without a ticket at the moment. I hope we sue the NL for loss of earnings horrible bunch of c**** they are. Hopefully Sunday we get out of this god awful league.

Agree that the National League are one of the main culprits in this fiasco but I am very suspicious that the H and S crowd at Brent Council together with Wembley Stadium are just as culpable.
 
So many ways this could have been handled much much better but NL / TFL / Met Police keep ***king it up.

Good luck Shrimpers getting on buses
 
Has it actually been answered why TFL (with a huge amount of buses available to them) aren’t able to put on a shuttle service between the Stadium and the many stations within a short drive? I’m not sure why the main solutions to this are being explored via a 55 mile journey instead of a 1-2 mile journey…

You’d think this would be quite simple for a literal travel organisation to sort.
 
Not unexpected and such a shame.

Can't imagine the coach package will be particularly popular and I'd be gobsmacked if we sold anywhere near 3,590 packages. But, if it gets even another 500 there that couldn't otherwise, brilliant. I just hope there's a much larger per person limit (30 like Oldham) which might tempt some local football clubs.

Great work from the club, but it appears they are pushing water up a hill and due to the the NL incompetence, we wont have anywhere near the 35,000 we would of possibly taken.
 
What I dont get is fans will (if they have to) get the coach to Wembley if they get their tickets once they are on the coach - this part isnt the problem as fans will be arriving at Wembley over a number of hours before the game so there wont be overcrowding issues.

HOWEVER

After the game there is no incentive to get on the coach to head back on them so if we win fans will rightly want to stay and have a drink in the area and not rush back. Again this would release any strain with overcrowding at local stations anyway.

Some numpty (probablythe Oldham CEO or that useless c*** on the board from Dagenham) at the NL have no common sense whatsoever so think 100s of coaches is the best and safest option.
