I received the golden tickets in the post this week.
I will be amongst the allocated 35,000 urging the irons on in the play off final. Let's hope it'll be a day to remember for all the right reasons and that we get back to where we belong.
I must firstly point out the farce of the allocated tickets. How have the FA managed to give us and Blackpool the same allocation, there is a reason why there are reports that Blackpool still have 5,000 tickets unsold one day before the game. Why have they not sent more tickets back that The Hammers could have had instead of sending back 500 which went on general sale on Wednesday and sold out in the first half hour.
West ham could have reported to have sold a further 20,000 tickets for the final, which goes to show just how big our club or how vast our fan base is. Don't get me wrong, we wouldn't attract that many fans to every game especially playing teams like Watford or Bristol city, but if we do make it back to the premiership and spend a good amount on new players to sustain our position who is to say we couldn't start to attract those numbers every other week.
I know several friends that managed to get tickets in the Blackpool end, which seems to be quite common these days. It'll certainly be strange to hear bubbles coming out of the blackpool end.
Anyway, here's to a great day out at Wembley, back again at last after all these years. Will Carlton Cole repeat a Trevor brooking header? Let the Party start.
Come on you Irons.
