One fan will be flying in all the way from Australia just to see the playoff final on Saturday.
A friend shared a message on Twitter detailing how the supporter will fly out from Down Under on Thursday, before returning on Sunday after the match at Wembley:

Verdict:
The demand for tickets for the final has been quite astonishing really. Some reports suggest that there will be a large contingent of our supporters in the Fulham sections, in addition to the 38,000 allocation, which we have sold out already.
The players will certainly be getting all the backing they need to get a win, and hopefully, they repay the fans at Wembley who will be coming from far and wide, with a performance that will get us back into the Premier League. We all wish the team the best of luck.
