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.

@Anna_Firth@JamesCleverly@Conservatives You lost the last election because you were rubbish, partygate and Liz Truss. Nothing to do with arguing with each other
@c2c_Rail Hi, I’ve a flexi season ticket (Leigh-Limehouse) but want to get on a Fenchurch St tomorrow night. Is my ticket valid or should I buy a new day return? Thanks
@Anna_Firth Could you facilitate a meeting between Leigh Town Council and the local churches? The churches asked for one but were ignored by the council!! It’s as if they have something to hide

@BuckCllr@CllrDent@MartinTerryIND@Anna_Firth So, a small group creates mob rule? How is that even possible. Maybe it is residents concerned about sackings/suspensions/canceled meetings/no accounts/multiple questions not answered and email hackings.
Packed room of concerned residents at last night’s ATM. And a complete failure of Councillor Arscott’s & his 11 Councillors to turn up, answer questions or even apologise for their absence.

I'm at Leigh Town Council's absolutely packed annual town meeting. A phenomenal turnout from residents - but the Conservative town councillors are nowhere to be seen. Very poor.
