Brentford FC have hit out at the number of tickets allocated for the Wembley play-off final against Swansea on Saturday.

In line with the Government's current Covid-19 restrictions, Wembley will have a maximum 10,000 capacity for this match.

This means there will be fewer than 4,000 General Admission tickets allocated to each finalist.

The club said: "We have been in communication with the FA and the EFL to find ways to maximise the club's allocation and we are extremely disappointed with this outcome.

"We at the Club feel it is unjust that only one week ago, more than 20,000 fans were admitted to The FA Cup Final and advanced discussions were taking place for Wembley to host the Champions League final with a similar number of fans attending.

"We find it incredulous and unjustifiable just two weeks later, the Championship Play-Off Final will be restricted to just half of that number.

"The 12 Sky Bet Play-Off Semi Finalists wrote to the EFL and FA last week pleading for an increased capacity, but to no avail.

"We want all Bees fans to be at the Final and it is disappointing that so many of you who would want to be there, will not be able to attend."
