Sorry to come out of retirement but :- when i were a lad ( or at least when I
lived in Leeds) Tickets for games like this were distributed on the basis of
tokens printed in the programme. so you had to present 12 tokens or token
number 5 to get a ticket. in my opinion it worked well.
Now if anyones got a spare including air fare from Fremantle please let me
know.
