Charlton Athletic handed smaller Wembley ticket allocation than Sunderland ahead of League One play-off final

After 25,000 fans packed into the Valley to watch that clash, demand among Charlton fans for tickets to the final is expected to be high with the club today [Saturday] confirming their ticketing details for the final - including the number they will be selling to supporters.
