As regards the play off tickets and venue it’s a disgrace and sums up how this tin pot league is run .
I think there would have been a lot of complaints who ever was in the final. Before the Olympic stadium was booked by the national league all of the teams who could make the play offs were in the north . The furthest south was Solihull, who will probably sell 5000 tickets max . Surely Old Trafford , the Ethiad , Villa park , Anfield , Molinuex and others could have been better options . Unfortunately it’s more convenient for the national league and their sponsors to have it in London with no regard to the fans of the clubs who are playing in it.
The price of the tickets are more expensive than the championship play off final at Wembley! Compounded with that it’s jubilee weekend and you’re talking 150 quid a night for a room in a travelodge.
The tickets in the lowers tiers sold out this morning to season ticket holders , and there were no concessions for kids in the more expensive upper tiers . Thankfully after pressure from the club , supporters trust and radio humberside the national league have back tracked on that .
It’s just cost me 80 quid for tickets for me and my lad and without staying over , petrol parking and food in the ground it will probably cost me 200 quid for a day out at the football !
I know I shouldn’t moan as were in the final but it just makes me angry that the average football fan is dumped on from a great height by the money men .
