I watched Winslow’s title rivals Haringey on Saturday. Very enjoyable game and a 3-1 win for the home team in front of a boisterous crowd of 660. Assuming Winslow get the job done tomorrow, I suspect Haringey will take some stopping in the play offs. They’ll be potential opponents for Risborough Rangers.

Talking of such things, tickets for Non League Finals Day on May 17th went on sale today. £30 for both the Trophy and Vase Finals isn’t too bad. I think Southend are expectedto take upwards of 25,000 to the Trophy final against Wealdstone.

Thinking of taking my son to this. Has anyone been before? I assume that Southend will pack out their corner but that in the other areas there ought to be some room to spread out.
Tickets on sale now from Wembley Stadium website. Last year attendance was just under 40,000, so imagine no issue getting tickets even if Southend make it a little higher this year. I believe not all those 40,000 people will bother to watch both games.

There are neutral areas. We always sit in level 2, around blocks 250 / 251. Just select the neutral option on the Wembley ticket site. It’s a great day out, and a lot less stressful than watching Wycombe there.

The Vase Final is 12.30 and the Trophy Final 16.30.
My guess is 95% of Southend fans will be having a beer and lunch in the surrounds of London and won’t arrive within the stadium until after 3, long after the Vase Final has finished.
Southend are selling their own tickets so will be in the NW quadrant but in the lower tiers.
Check out the map to see where each set of fans are allocated including neutrals

Southend have sold over 9,000 tickets in one day.
Out of interest why would you choose a neutral area rather than buy a ticket in say Wealdstone’s area and support them for the day. Better atmosphere?
Your call obviously - just interested.
Can’t make the final tonight, shame. Good luck to the young lads and any older lads that make the line-up. On paper it’s an easier assignment than the semi-final but no room for complacency.

I’ll be making the short journey from the other end of Berkshire, COME ON YOU BLUES!
Why would I choose to sit in the corner of the stadium with fans of a club I have zero affiliation with and who are only really invested in their own game, when I can watch two games from the best seats in the ground with a group of friends and access to a decent bar.

That’s what I did the one time I went too.
Your choice of course. I’ve never been so you know better than me. I think first time I would choose the other way - honestly when I am watching any sport, it only really works for me if I choose a side to support anyway.
Assume the only way to watch is going to the ground?
Yes - there is no stream of this game to watch.

The Lionesses play Spain tonight in a World Cup qualifier - live and free on ITV1.
Can’t quite work out how these top two countries are in the same qualifying group, but should be a good game.

Don’t suppose anyone knows if Wycombe Sound are doing any comms for tonight?
