TICKET information has been released for non-league Littlehampton Town FC’s FA Vase Final at Wembley Stadium.
The Marigolds secured their first ever Wembley final in fashion after beating Loughborough Students 4-0 on Saturday in front of a capacity crowd at the Littlehampton Sportsfield in St Floras Road.
They have been allocated 6,879 tickets for their match against Newport Pagnell Town at Wembley Stadium in London on Sunday, May 22. The match is a 12pm kick off.
However, the club has “already asked” the Football Association (FA) to increase their allocation and have a meeting later this afternoon.
Tickets costs set by the FA stand at £25 for adults and £10 for OAPs, students and under 16s.
The club said it will get as many coaches as are needed by fans travelling up. It is also looking at special merchandise for the final.
Littlehampton Town FC said on their website: “It was a day that every Golds fan will remember forever and another one is coming up.
“Following Saturday’s historic victory in the Buildbase FA Vase semi-final over Loughborough Students, we can reveal the basic ticketing information for our trip to Wembley Stadium.
“We have been allocated 6,879 tickets in the West/South Stand. We have already asked the FA if this is able to be increased and we have a meeting with the FA on Monday afternoon.
The Buildbase FA Vase Final takes place as part of Non-League Final’s Day and on the same day will be the Buildbase FA Trophy Final. Match tickets allow you to watch both games if you wish to do so.
“More information on the Final arrangements will follow as we receive it.”
It was the first semi-final in the FA Vase for Littlehampton in 31 years, with their last semi-final ending in defeat back in 1991 against Gresley Rovers.

More than 3,000 fans witnessed as Littlehampton scored just 36 seconds in through player and joint-manager George Gaskin.
Captain Jordan Clark doubled the home side’s lead with a deft header which went in via the post on the 35 minute mark in front of 3142 fans.
The home side, who sit top of the Southern Combination Football League Premier, which is the ninth tier of English football, scored again just 11 minutes into the second half. Shay Wiggans made it 3-0 to all but seal their victory.
George Gaskin popped up for his second of the game after a great run from Dion Jarvis to pile the misery on to Loughborough and make it 4-0.
