I fully expect Willo to participate eagerly in this thread...along the lines of...

"I was given a ticket to the 1923 Association Football Cup Final at the newly constructed national football stadium at Wembley Park, Wembley, North London, England.

I travelled by a London Omnibus to Morden Underground Station whereupon I sat in a carriage on the Northern Line and changed on two separate occasions before alighting at my final destination - Wembley Park. The cost of my fare was sixpence return.

On the way home I purchased a fish supper (incidentally wrapped in the day before's Times newspaper, which I still have today) and a bottle of ginger beer which I eagerly quaffed before retiring to my bed!"

Wouldn't have got a ticket on the underground from Morden station as didn't exist in 1923 - Northern Line then terminated at Clapham Common.
Not a lot of people know that!

I love a boring ticket story.

I'll share a couple. I've got a season ticket. Every time I go to a home game I see the same faces around me. I know. Mad.

Better still, I parked where I shouldn't have once. When I came back I had a parking ticket on my windscreen. After a day or two I paid it. Never heard about it again from that day to this.

Fact is often stranger than fiction.

Go on, keep 'em coming

Don't even get me started on the day I caught a bus...

Woah woah la la, woah woah la la.
