    Looks like some of them need a geography lesson, some of them turned up in Bucharest instead of Budapest to watch the match hahahaha

    It's like when Neil Robertson went to Barnsley Glouc instead of the metrodome! The funny thing was he'd gone to the right place the year beforel

    You can laugh.... but one damp wet evening pulling out of London Victoria with the 561 Rapid service coach to Rotherham in the early 80s ....a guy came running up to the front of the coach waving his ams about causing me to stop...in his hand he held a blue red and white ticket ......in all honesty it looked like one of our tickets....
    The rules in Victoria where once you left the stand you weren't allowed to pick up passengers most rules carried a strict fine for the company if you broke them....
    Looking at him he was soaking and had a strained look of panic on his face ....feeling sorry for him...admittedly I'd had no option to stop I opened the door to which he hurriedly climbed on...asking .in a foreign accent what I and the hostess thought was Rotherham.....yes we both replied Rotherham...... he offered his ticket to the hostess but was told ....go sit down quickly I will take it off you shortly.....I pulled out of London and as normal once on the motorway the hostess set about her job providing beverages and sandwiches for the passengers....once again as per normal we the drivers got served first....on bringing me my coffee she informed me that the chap in question was fast asleep and therefore she hadn't been able to collect his ticket......
    The guy slept soundly all the way to up the motorway to Sheffield where we normally terminated the service as it was very rare we went into Rotherham....he stired slightly in Sheffield but then went back to sleep ...on reaching Rotherham I had to go and wake him up ....on waking up he handed
    Me his ticket which like I said was identical to national express tickets...and panic set in on both sides...his ticket was a European bus ticket destination.....Rotterdam....As I realised that he realised he was in Rotherham....if he ran down the coach once he ran down and back holding his head half a dozen times shouting this is Rotherham not Rotterdam ....both still sounding like Rotherham
    He ended up coming back to upper Sheffield road with us....spent the rest of the night in the canteen and was placed on the first coach back to London the following morning ...lol....luckily neither the hostess or myself got into trouble....Happy days

    Copied the article

    A group of Belgian football fans have driven to the 'wrong Wales' ahead of tonight's Euro 2016 qualifier - after their Sat-Nav sent them to a village in Rotherham.

    The group of hardy fans set out driving in a bus across the mainland continent earlier in the week for the eagerly-anticipated Group B clash.
