I remember the tokens but back when I were a lad tickets were distributed on whether or not you were a member of Tinshill & Cookridge Working Mens Club where Don Toulson, who ran the ticket office in them days, was on't committee. That's how my dad got his ticket for the European Cup final in Paris (didn't get one for me, the bastard, just 'cos I had an exam!)

Now if anyones got a spare including air fare from Fremantle please let me know.
