It’s just the ticket for fans

A TOWN fan living in Australia has flown in for Monday’s game ... and he was at the last one when Town were trying to get into the top tier of English football.

Jed Robinson was at the match in 1970 when Town went to Middlesbrough and got the 1-1 draw they needed to win promotion to the old first division.

The 60-year-old said: “I’ll never forget that game. Steve Smith scored the goal from 30 yards and it flew in like a missile – so much so it ended up stuck in the stanchion and the keeper had trouble getting it out.

“And then Frank Worthington followed that up with a bicycle kick that hit the underside of the bar and came out. The atmosphere was brilliant, especially in the railway station waiting for the train home.”

Town went up as champions and the team featured legendary names such as Trevor Cherry, Terry Poole, Dennis Clarke, Roy Ellam, Geoff Hutt and Jimmy Nicholson.

Jed ended up carrying the golden goal board around the old EXCITED and nervous Huddersfield Town fans have taken to social media to express their delight at the arrival of their tickets for Wembley.

As Terriers’ supporters reached fever pitch ahead of Monday’s play-off final, fans let off steam by posting photos of their tickets on Twitter and Facebook.

Town fan Simon Micklethwaite tweeted: “Wembley tickets arrived today. Buzzing! Can’t wait. We’re on our way. #htafc”

Mabel Bluebell said: “Seeing the amount of tickets sold is making me even more excited for next week. What a season this has been. Bring on Wembley.”

Terrier Graham Thomson tweeted: “27 years ago I watched Huddersfield Town losing at bottom of old Div 3. Just bought tickets for Wembley for shot at Premier League. Still can’t believe it.”

Sam Smith posted an amusing video on Twitter of a man sweating profusely and said: “Wembley tickets have arrived. Let the nerves begin.”

Town fan Lucie joked on Twitter: “Well I’ve got to do ‘our tickets have arrived tweet’ haven’t I...can’t wait.”

Adam H tweeted: “I’m gunna save my 100th tweet until I’m at Wembley cheering on #htafc in the play off final. Tickets arrived, coach booked, good times!!”
