OUR Burnley man Pete Oliver was surprised to be handed a ticket for Stoke City's last home game of the season against Walsall when he went to the Britannia Stadium to collect his Press pass on Saturday.

But there wasn't much point even thinking about trying to make a few quid by selling it cheap to a Stoke fan.

Apparently the Potters have been that bad of late no-one would have considered buying it!

And yes, he did get in to the Burnley match, after the ticket office exchanged it for the right pass.
