Another matchday, another new addition! This time please welcome @RomelR6 #️⃣ The tall defender joins us from Brentwood Town where he was an influential part of the Isthmian North winning side of 24/25 🏆 We’d like to thank @BrentwoodTownFC for their help in sorting the move out quickly in time for tonight’s match 🤝
Southend United will bring 28,852 fans to Wembley
Oldham Athletic have sold around 21,000 tickets
This match will break the National League promotion final attendance record
Dear @SadiqKhan@TheVanaramaNL@TfL
Oldham play Southend on June 1st at Wembley for a place back in the Football League. Both clubs have huge numbers who want to attend and support their team, just like Palace, City, Forest, Villa and Liverpool fans have this season without issue.
Because of engineering works the suggestion is a restriction on numbers as Wembley Park station will be closed. This is neither the fault of either club and the proposed cap on supporters, many of whom will be visiting Wembley for the first and maybe last time are being unfairly punished.
The record for a NL playoff final is 47,000. It's safe to say that without restrictions this record would be broken, but any cap would not only be unfair to supporters who don't often get the opportunity for a Wembley day out but would probably not be implemented would this be a Premier League or England national team game.
Clubs in the pyramid need every opportunity they can get to shine, compete and grow their supporter base and Wembley is always an opportunity to do so, along with stimulating support in the communities of Oldham and Southend respectively. Mr Mayor, as we have followed each other for some time on here, I'd be more than happy to set out a thousand reasons why it is important for both clubs to be fully represented at Wembley, and should only be afforded the same privilege as any club, namely to "fill the damn place".
National League and EFL clubs are hamstrung enough in this day and age where the top of the pyramid rules, I hope between you you could find a sensible solution to allow Oldham Athletic and Southend United supporters their day too.

Besiktas win at 4th place Eyüpspor, managed by Arda Turan, to move above them. Now 5 wins, one draw and one defeat from Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first seven games.
Just read an interview with Gordon Ramsey advising couples to book a table for 3 to give them more space.
COMPLETELY DISAGREE and very bad advice.
If a restaurant is expecting 3 and only 2 turn up, that’s a real kick in the teeth for the business.
Surprised from a chef I respect.
As a Job Hopper, I was never afraid of an Interviewer asking me about my Job Hopping.
I actually looked forward to it.
I always had to prepare myself for how to answer questions as to why I did.
Here’s what I would say and I invite you to use this script for your own benefit.
Just been made aware of a bar in Soho, that's started dynamic pricing.
It's an extra £2 (£9.40) for a pint after 10pm.
This new idea of dynamic pricing is ridiculous, greedy and needs calling out. Very short sighted.
At London Bridge, @Se_Railway changes the platform of a late train with almost no notice. We’re all running across the station. As we get on, a woman trips and injures herself. It’s almost like that outcome could have been predicted…

Napoli banned anyone with a Lombardy postcode from attending their match against Atalanta last weekend.
That meant that 1 Scotland-based fan was the only Atalanta fan in the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona 😂👏🏻
This press conference is crazy.
Rúben Amorim just said a bunch of clubs had already paid his release clause in the past 5 years and he rejected all because he wanted to stay at Sporting. Then he said United was the only other club in the world he wanted to coach.
Unprecedented.
Did they really ignore him??
They did the surgery and gutted the squad. The issue is they picked the wrong surgeon who picked the wrong players to rebuild with
He didn't do it on the cheap either. He spent a fortune on those Ajax guys
