Did you get a Cup Final ticket in 1983?

[Westdene Wonder]

The week before the match my immediate boss mentioned a neighbour of his who was a referee had a ticket but did not plan to use it, my chief who had no interest in sport at all declined it but said that one of his staff was a Brighton supporter,I could not believe my luck when i was told the referee
did not require any payment.

I remember I had to queue for hours to get two tickets for the first game and as I left the ticket window the other window was empty for a few seconds and I dodged in quickly and bought another ticket which I sold on the Saturday morning at Brighton Station for a couple of quid on top. I also got tickets for the replay but can't remember how. I still have the videos of the games but have never watched the replay one.

I'm intrigued as to why that ticket says the counterfoil must be retained for at least six months. Is that why you kept it for thirty three years, just in case?

Wait...<double take>...five pounds for a Cup Final ticket? FIVE POUNDS??

yeah, welcome to the real world

My mate who was a young pro at the time, gave his batch, I think about 10 tickets to one of the senior players, who then gave him 6 times the face value, who then (senior player) met Stan Flashman in the upstairs function room at the Plough, Rottingdean and got what ever he got.

Is a true story.

I was 15, straight from Highbury my folks picked me up and we went to Devon for a week, I don't remember any sort of panic about getting a ticket, I had the Stoke voucher I don't recall any sort of queue.

For the replay my mother queued through the night and bought at least 4 tickets no problem, I recall her telling me about 2 lads on a motorbike taking fish n chip orders from the queue. Was this true?

Yes, my poor old mum queued up (she was in her 70's) and got me a ticket, as I was living in Essex at the time.
And I've still got the ticket
