Blackpool at Bloomfield Road, 1987-88 season in the 3rd Division.
In the Woodcutter, in Hartlepool on the Friday, night, and the cousin of a H/pool born Blackpool player, assured me of a complimentary ticket for the game, the next day.
I turned up at Blackpool, along with the red n white hordes, and after a few pints, I went to the players entrance to pick up my comp ticket.
What a f***ing farce.
It turns out the Blackpool player, had already given the ticket to someone else.
So, along with a few hundred other ticketless Sunland fans, we were outside the ground, and thinking of heading back to the pubs.
The coppers then decided to let us all in the ground for free, rather than have us causing chaos in the pubs.
Result !
We won the game, 2-0, and I managed to get on the pitch at full time, and was swinging on the crossbar, with a few other lads, when it snapped, and we ended up in a heap on the deck.
All in all, a canny day out.
I missed only two away games that season, and travelled to nearly all of those games by train, thanks mainly, due to having a dodgy railcard.
