Fascinating story about the rail tickets, on a smaller scale I knew someone who would legally be given two seat main stand tickets and two players lounge tickets in the Roker Park days then copy the lounge tickets and stamp the date on. At the main entrance he would go in as normal and flash the lounge tickets and take a couple in with him, the door staff thought he was involved with the club and became a face rarely showing any tickets not like now.those that came in with him would disperse usually to the paddock and maybe a seat second half.The best bit was the players lounge and tickets would be provided for those already in with real tickets and with free sandwiches and Scorpion lager at 50p a can, well a merry time was always had.
A certain Roker front pubs regulars would always have a few in the lounge after a Friday night giveout.

Johnny was a queer fucker like. Right cheeky bastard, but a good laugh, at least he was in those days (70's/80's). I've said before we never went looking for bother, but Johnny attracted trouble. He was also a rogue & if he was here today would admit it. He got us lot into more bother than anyone else I've ever known. As I say after he got out of nick he hung around with a different crowd. Not surprised you had chew with him. He almost always had chew going on with somebody.

Territorial Army ?
The story goes that a certain SAFC mad chap from Sherburn who never missed a game had had enough. He stopped going to a few away games, the lads egging him on to return to the fold. One friday night he is out in the back yard getting a shovel of coal for the fire and gets persuaded to get on the away bus without mentioning this to their lass. Imagine her joy when she found out and stopped worrying.

Perhaps this will convince you.
6 of us wanted to go down to Bristol City and didn't want two lots of fuel so we drew straws for who went in the boot of a Hillman Avenger.
This was a saloon car with fixed back seats so, once you were in, there was no light or proper ventilation. Mick 'thousand yard stare' Turnbull lost and climbed in ...... this was a time before mobile phones or anything so it was basically lying in the dark for 5 hours. On top of that Mick was a smoker and in a confined space with the petrol tank
So we get to Bristol and Mick unfolds himself from the boot white we fall about laughing at the plight of him.
So we go to the game, usual nonsense, and get back to the car. We pick straws again and incredibly Mick doesn't object to being included ......
....... needless to say he lost again and just slumped into the boot.
Still not convinced?

Yes sherburn lads semi final at Sheffield hillsbrough 1992 v Norwich decided to make weekend of it .Wilky booked nice hotel and lads got smartened up for night on townin Sheffield town centre on Saturday night;They went out to bar round corner from digs and stood out like sore thumbs all in white shirts and kegs.What they hadn't realised was sheff u had played at home that day and their main mob drank in pub directly over road .Word got round that sunderlandwere in town and by 6 30 sheff u entered the pub.All I can say is 5 minutes later only one set of fans remained in pub a few with not so white shirts but they had a cracking weekend. Time passed by and next time safc were at sheff u a number of same lads revisited said pub on the pre match drink.
