The news that our arch-rivals West Ham United have only received an allocation of 23,500 tickets for the FA Cup Final in Cardiff is disgusting.
Indeed, it is systematic of how the real supporters are dumped on from a great height when it comes to a showpiece final like this. Instead of Joe Bloggs getting his hands on a well deserved ticket they?re distributed amongst the numpties who?s only idea of having a good time is to quaff champagne whilst gorging on prawn sandwiches.
With a capacity somewhere in the region of 70,000 the Millennium Stadium should be capable of offering far more tickets to those who follow their team through thick and thin, sun and rain glory and disappointment.
Now I don?t know how many tickets Liverpool have been allocated, indeed after Saturday I couldn?t care less. In fact if I were to be brutally honest, if they only received 10,000 it?d be 10,000 too many such is my disdain for them.
No doubt West Ham United will be in discussion with the Football Association about increasing their allowance, what success they will have remains the great unknown, however, our own club can do something.
Every entrant in the competition receives an allocation, it may not be many tickets but I can?t help thinking that the decent thing for Chelsea to do would be to forward their tickets to West Ham United.
Come on Chelsea, you know it makes sense.
