As title sponsor it’s our intention always to have a positive impact on the league, its clubs and the fans. We are in constant contact with the league but unfortunately have no say over venue and pricing. (

We’ve donated £20,000 each to @officialgtfc  (via @MarinersTrust) & @SolihullMoors

To help with their fans’ travel and to bring down costs for kids tickets. We’re speaking to the league about doing more to listen to and understand the fans to avoid this happening again.

Really good gesture that. Just goes to show what a bit of pressure, applied in the correct places, can do.

Hope that this hits the National League with embarrassment and possibly Vanarama look at possibly pulling the plug of sponsorship as it’s caused them to look awful on a huge scale.

So the leagues own sponsor realise that some thing is wrong, the league will be lucky to get another sponsor when Vanarama move on, who wants to be associated with amateurs.

Great that they've done it and more fans will now get to the game from both sides, it's at the level predicted on the Tickets thread. For £20k they've bought themselves some distance from the National League stadium and pricing decision.

What really grates for me is that if the final had been Solihull v Halifax I suspect there would have been free child tickets or other offers chucked around like confetti to avoid a virtually empty stadium. National League were no doubt hoping for 2 big clubs and implied that in their pathetic PR response. I would like to know what the stadium hire deal is and who get's what. If the GLA are involved it might be available via FoI?

Always though tagging them on Twitter was the right thing for people to do, good result in the end though.
