An extra 500 tickets went on sale yesterday morning (Wednesday), for supporters who were yet to purchase tickets. Shane and his dad Jason, both queued up from 6:00pm Tuesday night till 8:00am Wednesday morning, to eagerly reserve their seats in the Arthur Wait Stand at Selhurst Park.

Shane, a Killamarsh Blade said: "Work commitments stopped me getting down on Monday or Tuesday and I was gutted to find that there was a sell-out. When I heard that an extra 500 were available there was no way I was taking any chances."

It has now been confirmed that 7,500 red and white troops will follow their beloved Sheffield United to London for the last day encounter. There are no more tickets available, and no further official Away Blade Coach tickets will be on sale either, they have also sold out.
