Kick off will be 1pm, which is rubbish as I have a long journey, but at least will be back for Horlicks. 

Why will it be 1pm?

Couldnt even fill their allocation last night, let alone Wembley. Loads of empty seats 

We only gave them 2k.

Nah it'll be West again which is better anyway.

It needs to be before tickets can go on sale. So they had better pull their finger out.

[RedArmy]

Not that they are the fountain of all knowledge but skybet has this listed as 1pm kick off. 

[davefizzy14]

Are the ticket details being released today?

This and if the worse does happen, then Hull would go up instead. There is no way anything will change before the final. 
 

If it turns out we have been spying, then we did not gain any advantage for the semi final as the contents was deleted. So Middlesbrough are not the victim here, we have just broken a rule, it did not have any impact on Boro so they do not need compensation. 

This is exactly what I was saying earlier ( although with a bit of a wink).  They were beaten over two legs which had nothing to do with cheating.

Nah, no way this is 1pm kick off

[Mattio]

1pm would be a shitter. Also all the pubs etc round Wembley will lose a days income for no good reason.

Just got a message that we have Wealdstone social club.

Anyone done it before and how far is the train from there to Wembley?

 

Yes, good parking, friendly club and 10 min easy  walk to the train

Different time zone. Hull is 64 years and 3 hours behind London.

No mention of how many tickets we’ve been given.

That's early, more like 5.30pm for tv

[Sheaf Saint]

So the kick off time is confirmed, and the tickets window information has now been released.

As if this wasn't already certain, there is zero chance now that we won't be taking part in the final.

[beatlesaint]

I guess it’ll be the same as we got for the Leeds game a couple of years ago if anyone knows what that was? Must have been at least 35,000

Last time 34k ?

Just looked it up, last time we had 36,900 so I see no reason it’ll be any less than that this time around

Done it before, get burger drink in clubhouse then tube. Very busy line though, had to get ticket from machine which took years to process

[RedArmy]

I know this is probably a long shot but would rather buy tickets on Monday than risk them selling out by Tuesday. 
 

If I have taken my nipper to games this year and they’re on my purchase history but he didn’t have a membership because it wasn’t needed to get the tickets at the time….what is the likelihood of the ticket office agreeing to link those tickets to a junior membership if I buy him one now?

• Hull vs Southampton, Wembley Stadium (Live on Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Football from 3pm)
   

Sky always give the time that their coverage starts and not kickoff times.

I agree, but is this confirmed? It’s our 7th trip to Wembley and we’ve always had that same side, what dictates it?

So as we’ve been given the green light to sell tickets presumably we aren’t being thrown out of the competition? 😉

All IMO but I don't think we were ever going to get thrown out the play-offs this close to them, it would be a logistical nightmare especially once tickets are on sale. Maybe if we'd been caught earlier in the season for sure, but not now. Middlesbrough fans thinking they'll somehow miraculously get reinstated are also dreaming. What Saints will probably face is a very large fine to make sure this doesn't happen again, and a potential EFL points punishment/transfer ban in the future - whether that be next season (if we lose to Hull) or in a couple of years if we go up and come down again (as we will be the Premier League's bitches next season). Again, all IMO - and that's all dependant on what facts Boro have and what Southampton's internal investigation deduces.

Of course we could go up, establish ourselves in the PL for years, go to Winchester, have a nice cold pint and wait for all this to blow over.

If it’s North v South, the South team always gets the West side. It’s to do with access to the different train stations for North/South I think. 

[iansums]

If you’re a paid member with 1+ matches, can you purchase tickets for people who have not and just have a supporter number? Or do you have to wait until they go on general sale?

[musesaint]

The announcement doesn’t mention if tickets go to our Apps. With the purchase dates so close to the final presumably that will be the case?

Is three hours going to be enough for them to peddle all the fake outrage they've got stored up?

You need to wait until everyone you want to buy for is eligible. 

[Saint Matty 76]

A bit concerned for the first time with tickets going on sale Friday, after they initially suggested they’d be on sale tomorrow.

At least we’ll know what’s going on either way after tomorrow.

Were the tickets bought against his customer number? If so it'll automatically link.

I did similar last championship season and bought my nipper a membership in March after him already attending games.

No he didn’t have a customer number they were his first ever games. I bought them under mine. 
 

I’m going to go and speak to the ticket office tomorrow and see if they can help or not.

Official site but seems they jumped the gun and should be releasing tomorrow, same time as Hull

[stfrancisofbenali]

Really pissing off one club with an (arguably) disproportionate penalty is far easier than pissing off 23 others. As I said earlier today, all of the evidence is against us and there is a real appetite to expel us.

Good point.
