On top of this, we have been taking thousands of fans to other teams stadiums all over the country (and outside of the country for the case of Cardiff). In fact, we have been selling out the away sections at many other teams home stadiums regularly.
The fact that we have been allocated a similar amount of seats as we have at our own stadium (Upton Park) is not right. Since this is a final and we are 12th most supported club in English football (including the Premier League) and most supported club in the Championship, this is not right.
These statistics back me up: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/stats/attendance/_/league/eng.2/english-league-championship?cc=5739 http://www.roymorgan.com/news/press-releases/2006/490/
In comparison, Blackpool have been getting just over 10,000 fans for their matches. I will give credit to them for selling over 25,000 tickets already which is a massive achievement, but a lot of these fans will not be regular season ticket holders and/or would not have been to many matches this season and possibly not so many matches in other seasons.
So I hope you are willing to change the ratio of West Ham seats to Blackpool seats in Wembley to favour West Ham.
To any West Ham fans out there, please share this petition and lets get this message spread across all West Ham forums, West Ham fan pages, West Ham facebook pages etc. It would be good if you could send this to David Gold on twitter and try and get a reply out of him, or even better if you could get this trending on twitter.

Travelled everywhere this season. Just isnt fair that blackpool fans who never go to games get the same allocation as our loyal supporters.
Upton Park is always full even in the championship what a joke
Ridiculous that we get the same amount as a team that gets 10k a week. Sort it out. COYI
Typical football league not looking after the real fans. Give us more tickets!!
30,000 for a championship game is massive. west ham fans deserve better than this.
