So we're still acting like its 2015 and we just haven't seen both ourselves sabotage our relationship with Europe then America sabotage its relationship with Europe huh.
Did Sunderland actually sell out? I know it was officially cited as a sellout by boxscore, but not sure if it was full at the back.
Our thanks to it though - even if it buggered up plans for the weeks that followed, the cold he got there likely gave us this run this year.
in 2023 I lost my ticket and passout while walking from my caravan to gate C on the Thursday morning, I think I pulled my phone out my pocket and it dislodged the envelope it was all in. I blame the lack of the little mini guide holders
nightmare!
I walked back and forth from the top of the hil (when i noticed it was gone) to the caravan twice, picking up every scrap of litter to check, but no joy.
I then asked all the stewards on the way back to gate C, the first one I asked: "has anyone handed in a ticket?" and they replied 'yes!' and I was 'holy sh*t' but then they said, "but its a ladies ticket" gah!
the next stewards said they had been offered one but suggested handing it in at the cabin
I jogged down there, and the queue was massive for other people presumably in the same boat, there was a steward managing the queue and asked what I needed, I said I was hoping someone had handed in my ticket, and he went to check.
some minutes passed with him chatting through the window, then I got waved over, and the person in the cabin asked if I had any ID - I gave them my driving licence and ....
they had my ticket!
some lady had handed it in about ten mins earlier, with the passout too.
a wild ride all round.
I now take much more care of my ticket 🙂
