Blackpool knew they would not sell 38 thousand tickets, why they didn’t sell them block by block I just don’t know. That way all unsold ticket could be returned for sale to other fans. Of course the last thing Blackpool would want is a stadium with only 28 thousand of their fans compared to 48 thousand cockney bastards.

Instead what they will end up with a Blackpool end only 60% full, which will look rather pathetic. Our end on the other hand will be magnificent.

Madness to do so-opposing fans have to segregated because they can't be trusted unfortunately.

Met wouldn't allow it, the Hooligan Task Force would have a fit. We all know 90% would behave but it only takes a few to ruin and cause havoc.

I do think Wembley do the split wrong. Divide is over the halfway line where people want to sit. It should be goal to goal and only fill goal blocks right at the end when segregation can be flexible and decided nearer the day. But logistics would be a nightmare.

I think they should sell from behind the goal, and then go up and out. That way the sections were the two sets of fans meet can be a ‘neutral zone’. The neutral zone can be moveable depending how many tickets either club manage to sell.

To be honest they should allocate to each club what their maximum attendance is, then if the clubs sell out and want more they can ask.

West Ham: Average 30,923 / maximum 35,000 attendance
Blackpool: Average 12,764 / maximum 14,141 attendance

Well t'is done now. Lucky to get as many-FA Cup final teams don't get anywhere near half tickets.

If I don't get mine in the post I wont be going either!

Some results coming in fro my questions on the Donker Bonkers Chat Forum .I,ll post them as the come

Welcome Geezer.

Mr DD has admitted it was hoax but it's given our new forum some publicity so every cloud...

Vaz Te will be the main threat without a doubt and on form Carlton Cole will be a handful. Also, Nolan always seems to crop up in the right places which is another worry.

Ince and Phillips could be the difference between the sides, gonna be a lot closer than the last 2 games, its practically a different Blackpool side. 2-1 to the Pool obviously

Nolan, Vaz Te and Cole. I suspect that is hardly earth-shattering news to you guys, we have consistently struggled to deal with teams that attempt to out-muscle us this season.

Our major threats? Dobbie, Ince and Matty "jock" Phillips are the obvious answers; the less obvious is Angel Martinez. Has taken on the "steering-wheel" role of late and does it with typical Spanish flair. Kick him out of the game and you win. Let him play and it could be a different story.

Our views on Sam are probably quite predictable. He won no friends in his time here, but he is nothing if not efficient at Championship/Lower-Prem level. I suspect Sam will pack the midfield and play a lone striker. We were incredibly vulnerable on the counter-attack last time we played, but our defence has since improved dramatically.

I think it will be a surprisingly cagey match. 1-1 AET, Blackpool on penalties.

To be honest with you I don't really know any of the West Ham players and so wouldn't be able to say who was going to be the most threatening to us.

I do know your manager and whilst I thought he played some decent football whilst at Blackpool, he did end up bottling the Play Offs. Most o us think he's a fat headed twat these days though and although his teams always seem to beat us, we generally agree that we wouldn't like to watch that crap every week, even if it does get results.

Ian Holloway is a decent manager and probably gets too much attention or being a clown rather than a decent manager, but at the minute Fat Sam seems to have it over him on the tactics front.

We have Ince and Phillips who are fast, skilful and well up for it, but you lot will probably just knock them off the ball, kick them and generally put them of their game and both are pretty lightweight...Phillips moreso than Ince and he's the bigger of the pair.

Final Score 1-0 to the Hammers and possibly the most dull game in the Championship this season. Loads of falling about, play acting niggly dirty challenges.

West Ham United - Threats:

3 is the magic number and no that's not me saying that I'm scared of George McCartney! I feel the three we should keep close tabs on are; Ricardo Vaz Te, Kevin Nolan and Jack Collison, should the latter be fit and available after a dislocated shoulder last week. Eardley will have to be on his toes to stop the tricky Vaz Te and it's important that Martinez and Ferguson don't let Nolan/Collison roam to far.

Blackpool FC - Threats:

We're quite the attacking force, although you wouldn't think that after seeing our meetings this season. Thomas Ince and Matt Phillips offer pace and trickery on either wing whilst Gary Taylor-Fletcher and Dobbie will provide neat control and good link up play. All 4 are very capable of grabbing a goal. A small mention of Super Kevin Phillips who will probably start from the bench but I'm sure will feature at some stage.

The Managers - Thoughts:

Will start with Holloway, sorry Sir Ian Holloway. Keeping it nice and short he's bloody brilliant.

Big Sam! He's the type of manager you just know will get results and someone who if he was in charge of Blackburn/Bolton this season, would have kept them up. Been around for a long time and knows the English game.

Final Prediction:

Heart over head; 3-1 Blackpool.

Head over heart; 2-1 West Ham.

I looked on that website about a week ago.before the semi. They were worried Ince would get abuse as he is son of Judas!

Blackpool FC have confirmed that they still have in excess of 10,000 tickets for this weekend's play-off Final available for sale - despite the match being just 72 hours away.

The FA should force Blackpool to hand them over to us IMO why have them go to waste when we have the fans to fill their half as well

forget handing the tickets over to us... can't the FA just give us the win cos clearly even the Blackpool fans themselves don't give a shit about their team possibly getting back in the prem...
