"Ticket sales have been delayed by The FA and will now go on sale on Monday 11th April. Time TBC. Kick-off time is also TBC. Our allocation is yet to change and remains at 6,879. They will only change once demand is met so it’s over to all you supporters across Littlehampton and the rest of Sussex to show the FA we need more!

"Tickets can only be brought on the Wembley Stadium website: www.wembleystadium.com/tickets/

An account will need to be made to purchase tickets and can take 15 minutes to activate so we strongly advise you set your account up before tickets go on sale next week. Tickets are limited to EIGHT per person and group bookings are not being offered for this match. Hospitality options will be available and will be announced once known."

They added: "Event Travel Hub have years of experience of running supporter transportation and are Official Travel Partner for BHAFC, so you're in safe hands. The service will be named Golds Travel and the network will cover 20 pick up locations spanning Bognor Regis to Worthing with a number of pick-up locations in Littlehampton.

"The price of a coach seat for the first 1,000 passengers (20 coaches) will be £32 per adult and £27 for U16 with a £1.50 booking fee per order.

Additional coaches are being sourced however these will be more expensive as the coaches are likely to be based outside of West Sussex therefore the coach seat price will increase.

"Seats can be booked on the LTFC website but this page will not go live until next Monday. You can also contact the team by calling 01903 232155 or by emailing [email protected] however, we strongly encourage supporters to book online from next Monday where possible.
