John Aldridge critical of FA's ticket allocation for Poland

Liverpool legend John Aldridge has criticised the Football Association for the number of tickets that Poland fans have been allocated for their game against England at Wembley tonight.

The Polish supporters have been given 18,000 tickets for the World Cup qualifier, and, Aldridge accused the FA of thinking too much about profits ahead of giving their own team an advantage by offering fewer seats for the away fans.

"I can't believe the FA have allowed Polish fans to snap up 18,000 tickets for tonight's game at Wembley," Aldridge wrote in his Liverpool Echo column.

"They were obviously more concerned about lining their pockets than giving Roy Hodgson's side the best chance of winning such a vital fixture.

"By being greedy they have made it more difficult for the England players."
