GREAT Wakering Rovers have sold close to 3,000 tickets for their FA Vase final with Romford at Wembley.

Wakering face their fellow Essex Senior League side at the world famous home of English football on Saturday May 11th.

And Rovers chairman David Patient says the whole village cannot wait for the big day.

“The village has come alive,” said Patient.

“I’ve had my bar manager on this morning asking if we could order another 100 scarves?

“Well, we only get an average of 150 watch us but it’s great.

“There’s already three coaches, and I think they’re ordering a fourth one today.

“There’s lots of people going by train, obviously and lots of people going by car.

“I believe it was something like 2,900, I think that someone quoted, tickets being sold out of our 7,000 allocation, which is a lot and it’s growing and growing and growing.”
