Hull City have told supporters that they are still unable to confirm when tickets for the Championship play-off final will go on sale, with uncertainty continuing to surround who they will face at Wembley.
The Tigers secured their place in the final after overcoming Millwall earlier this week.
Ordinarily, tickets for the season's richest match would already be on sale.
Instead, Hull have been forced to issue an update explaining that key details, including sales dates and the confirmed kick-off time, are still to be announced.
The delay comes amid the ongoing English Football League investigation into allegations that Southampton attempted to observe a Middlesbrough training session before the Championship play-off semi-finals.
Southampton remain scheduled to meet Hull at Wembley on May 23 after defeating Middlesbrough 2-1 after extra time at St Mary's.
However, the south-coast club have been charged with alleged breaches of EFL regulations, and the matter is now before an independent disciplinary commission.

No findings have yet been made, and no conclusions should be drawn while the process is ongoing.
If Southampton are found to have breached the rules, a range of sanctions is available to the commission.
These could include a financial penalty or, in theory, a sporting sanction.

One possible outcome under the regulations is removal from the play-offs, which would have significant implications for Middlesbrough.
The club remain on standby while awaiting the outcome and have kept their players in training rather than allowing them to begin their summer break.
The uncertainty has inevitably created speculation among supporters, particularly as neither Hull nor Southampton is currently selling tickets for the final.
Hull said in a statement: "Thank you for your patience while we await confirmation of the kick-off time for our Sky Bet Championship Play-Off Final.
"We know many of you have contacted the Ticket Office in recent days, and we wanted to provide supporters with as much information as possible ahead of sales opening.
"Full details, including confirmed sale dates and kick-off time, will be communicated in due course.
Southampton could yet be stripped of their place in the Championship play-off final if they are found guilty of misconduct following allegations that a member of staff attempted to observe Middlesbrough training | GETTY"Until then, we kindly ask supporters to refrain from contacting the Ticket Office while final details are being confirmed. We appreciate your continued patience and support."
Southampton had briefly published ticket information on their own website before later removing it.
Reports have suggested that administrative and scheduling considerations may also be contributing to the delay.
For Hull supporters, the wait continues.
