The Saddlers booked their place in Monday's Wembley showpiece after beating Chesterfield over two legs - following their late automatic promotion chase collapse.

Saddlers fans have been quick out of the blocks to snap up their tickets for the final - having been handed a 25,541 allocation in the East End of Wembley.

Tickets have started to be sold in level one of the ground - and the latest figures have revealed that the Saddlers have sold well in excess of half of their allocation.

In fact, so far 15,000 tickets have already been sold and that number is continuing to rise by the day.

Mat Sadler's men will be backed by a big following - however as it stands they are set to be outnumbered by the Dons' faithful.

Latest figures on Thursday showed they had sold in excess of 25,000 tickets for the game, just shy of their allotted allocation.

On top of this, the club announced that they have secured exclusive access to the BoxPark at Wembley, before and after the game.

The venue is located off Wembley Way, and is a popular place for football fans attending big matches and cup finals.
