11th May 1985 Match Ticket

[City_Shirts]

Long shot I know but wondered if anyone can help with tracing a ticket from our 1985 Promotion clinching fixture as would love to add one to memorabilia of the day which includes a squad signed match day programme and also Paul Simpson’s match shirt.

Will happily pay a fee, or Charity donation of choice.

*************** Update: Ticket now secured :-)

Most of the 60,000 in the ground would have paid cash on the turnstile. Actually remember getting my ticket well because my dad sorted it out for me on the morning of the match from Jack Trickett and he presented it to me about three hours before kick off - I was sat right next to the player’s tunnel, which was amazing.

It’ll be long gone though now, mate. Sorry!

Cheers mate and I know it's a long shot but hoping will be one out there

I think the type of person who took the time and effort to keep a ticket is unlikely to be the type to readily give it up.

The Kippax yes but not in the seats

Think the Platt Lane was pay on the door back then mate.

Agreed but have managed to secure them for Bradford City 89, and the 10-1, so if you don't enquire then you don't get as they say ;-)

A lot would have just been season ticket stubs

The further away into the mists of time it goes the more I feel that was perhaps the greatest game I’ve ever been to

I paid on the gate. It was the first game I went to where we followed through and achieved something. Still my favourite game.

 

[Spurs quarter 69]

I was in the Maine Stand that day and had ticket. I doubt I would have slung it but after three house moves I don't have clue where it is. I will route through my memorabilia and if it turns up you are welcome to it, but I wouldn't bank on it.

Only 3 house moves in 40 years! Impressive!
Just counted mine and I’m on 16 moves and that doesn’t include the 18 months travelling around the US, Oz and NZ in 91 - 92

Platt Lane was definitely pay at the gate. I was sat there having broke my ankle earlier that week ruling out being on the terraces. Got there pretty much when they opened the turnstiles to avoid the crowds getting too crazy as I looked for a decent seat.
