The club have warned fans not to buy FA Cup final tickets on the black market after a number of tickets were stolen from a Royal Mail van and anyone with a stolen ticket will not be allowed into the Millenium Stadium.

A club spokesman said: "The theft occurred this afternoon and we will have a better idea of exactly how many tickets have been taken tomorrow.
 
"However, all tickets had been sent by special delivery so we will have an exact record of the individual seat numbers.
 
"Consequently, we urge our supporters not to buy tickets from unauthorised sources as they run the risk of not being allowed into the Millennium Stadium and of being arrested for being in possession of stolen property.
 
"We will be working over the weekend to identify the missing tickets."
