Brentford and Swansea have issued a joint statement calling for more fans to be allowed in to the Sky Bet Championship play-off final on Saturday at Wembley. Both clubs have questioned the 10,000-capacity limit set for the match, compared to the 21,000 who were present as Leicester beat Chelsea in the FA Cup final earlier this month. “We find it incredulous and unjustifiable that the Championship play-off final will be restricted to just half that number. “The 12 Sky Bet play-off semi-finalists joined together last week to plead for an increased capacity, but to no avail. Swansea chief executive Julian Winter described the allocation as “unfair”, adding: “The FA Cup final recently hosted over 20,000 spectators which helped generate a fantastic atmosphere for both teams – something which has been sorely missed over the past 14 months.
