I have been in contact with Oldham Athletic and have heard from many fans who are both excited about the upcoming National League Play-Off Final at Wembley on 1st June, and deeply concerned about the impact of planned engineering works on the Transport for London (TfL) network affecting Wembley Park station.
These engineering works have been pointed to as the reason for a cap being imposed of 17,500 tickets per club for both Oldham and Southend supporters. While there may be some potential to increase this allocation through additional coach provision, the current transport limitations risk denying thousands of loyal fans the opportunity to witness what promises to be a truly historic occasion.
Over the weekend, I have raised these concerns directly with the Deputy Mayor responsible for Transport for London, who has agreed to look into the situation and engage both TfL and Wembley Stadium to fully understand the constraints and explore possible solutions.
With just a week remaining until the final, I recognise that options may be limited, but the same pressure also applies to fans who need to book tickets and make travel arrangements. I urge all relevant authorities to explore every feasible avenue.
The last time Oldham Athletic played in a Wembley final was the 1990 Football League Cup Finalโ35 years agoโmaking this event especially significant for a new generation of fans and for a proud footballing town.
This is more than just a football match. Victory would mean a long-awaited return to the Football League, offering hope and momentum to a club and community that have endured some very challenging years now looking forward to a new era.
I will continue to press on this.
