Mark Skinner called it 'crazy' for Manchester United and Chelsea to give away 8,000 tickets to the Women's FA Cup final as fans rush to buy tickets after both teams win. respective semi-final victories last weekend.

In comparison, for last season's Men's FA Cup Final, Chelsea and Liverpool each received 30,500 tickets, which ensures that fans of specific finalists make up at least two-thirds of the stadium, while less than 20% of Wembley's capacity. was intended for Manchester United. and Chelsea Women's Club fans at a demonstration event on 14 May.

However, the men's finals have been regularly sold out, while the women's final has seen attendance at the national stadium fluctuate between 40,000 and 49,000 over the past four years. However, the Football Association announced on Monday that 65,000 tickets have been issued for this year's women's final, with the 50,000-seat no man's land already sold out. Sellouts now follow for the ends assigned to each club and it is believed that Wembley could be filled for the first time for this event.

United, leaders of the Women's Super League, have confirmed they have been allocated 8,000 seats for the east side of the stadium, while Chelsea have said their allocation for the west side is 7,530. United manager Skinner was asked at a press conference on Tuesday ahead of Wednesday's WSL match against Arsenal, which is expected to be attended by around 10,000 fans at Leigh Sports Village, about some fan dissatisfaction with the funding for the final.

“To be honest, I totally agree with that sentiment, absolutely,” Skinner said. “I don’t know how much it is in the men’s game, I really don’t know, I don’t know how much they allocate. But giving clubs like Chelsea and Manchester United 8,000 tickets to sell is, in my opinion, crazy, crazy. Giving two huge clubs 8,000 tickets is crazy.”

The FA has reached out for comment.

Manchester United make it to the final for the first time in their history, and Chelsea's winners have reached Wembley for the third year in a row.

The match promises to be the biggest attendance for a Women's FA Cup final. By far the biggest audience is 49,094 who were at Wembley last season when Chelsea beat Manchester City 3-2 after extra time. .

The teams are also in contention for the WSL title, with leaders United one point ahead of defending champions Chelsea, who have played a game more. Arsenal are two points behind in third place.

Arsenal travel to Leigh Sports Village to face Manchester United on Wednesday. Technically, their fate of the title is still in the hands of the North Londoners, although neither side can afford it. reset points. Chelsea, who, like Arsenal, have a game in hand, know that they will also become champions if they win all the remaining WSL games.
