But the story of the English fan, how interesting and odd, has done social networking.
Only after spending over 3,000 miles [3,000 km] to reach Russia did he realize that he had forgotten the stadium's ticket at his home in Bristol. But fate seemed to knock them on the door when he realized that in the hotel where he was staying, he was also the editor of British television. I TV, Dan Howells, who made a public appeal on Twitter, to assure Douglas that his trip would not be wasted.
This is Douglas. He was at our hotel in Volgograd. We just met him in Nizhni, and he realized that he had forgotten his ticket home in Bristol. If someone has an extra ticket, call me”, Howells wrote on Twitter.
As a miracle, his appeal to the English did work, but then the other problem was that they weren't finding fan Douglas the ticket.
A few minutes before the match, he made another post: “There is not much left. We found a ticket to Douglas, but now we need to find”.
