DAVID MOYES has accused the Football Association of being “disrespectful” over the allocation of FA Cup final tickets.
The Everton boss believes the 25,109 seats the Blues have been given for the Wembley showdown with Chelsea on May 30 is woefully inadequate.
“It’s really disappointing and something is not right that 40,000 tickets have gone to corporate people,” he said.
“I understand these people are the ones putting some money into it and probably helped build Wembley in the first place but it’s not right for the average punter.
“All through the season they talk about wanting clubs to put out strong teams all the way through the FA Cup.
“The press and supporters get annoyed if teams don’t field their best players or if you rest one or two. When that happens people say you are disrespecting the competition.
“Then the FA only give teams that get to the final 25,000 tickets. So who is disrespectful now? The biggest disrespect has come from the FA.
“It is a little bit hypocritical. They want us to support the competition, speak well about it, play everyone in it and then when we get there give the teams a limited amount of tickets.”
