Right, i'll be brief. Somewhere between having my ticket checked on a First Hull Train between Kings Cross and Grantham, and the end of my walk from the City Ground to Nottingham Station I dropped a leather folding warrant badge for a Revenue Protection Inspector.

Inside is my bank card, drivers licence, Penalty Fare Licence, Door Pass, FCC Travel Pass, and a red paper "PRIV" card. If ANYONE knows ANYTHING about the whereabouts of this please let me know - it'll cost me £235 to replace everything in there. I was sitting in Row V, block X2, seat 117 (roughly, it was quite packed around there) and it may have fallen out of my coat which was folded over the chair during the commotion and dropped.

Should some one have picked it up they didn't hand it in to NFFC staff (I already checked) so maybe you're going to hand it in down here? I can collect anywhere anytime (work permitting).

Many thanks, and it still hasn't settled!

Not the best of ideas to keep so much personal property within an 'official' wallet but best of luck in getting it all back. Lesson learned. :down:

Its not the first one I've lost this last four weeks. Or the second. Luckily the cost of the new passes I need has been greatly reduced, so it's looking like £45 because Nationwide re-issued my card for free instead of charging. DVLA might get a but funny about needing ANOTHER new licence but i'll just have to write back and explain. I'm genuinely considering buying a Bluetooth chip which will connect to my phone and I will get an alert if my wallet is more than a specific distance from me! I need to hope my manager is having a good day on Tuesday...

BUT when I read about crazy stories that get born through massive mental away days I've now got one - a young man who went to one of the biggest games of the last few years, went mental at Ulloa's goal, nearly got stranded in Nottingham BUT I will tell everyone it was TOTALLY worth it because the Albion made it so. If we didn't win then i'd be pissed.

I had to get a taxi from Grantham because our train was delayed too! Just a mental, crazy, emotional day.

I once went mental at a goal we scored during an away match years ago. My glasses came off and fell on the packed terracing. I assumed they were finished as a usable entity. Once the celebrations died down another fan a yard or so away handed them from the floor, totally intact. I couldn't believe it.

Just how many have you lost in the last four weeks.
Not seeming to be unsympathetic, didn't losing these the first ,or at least a second time suggest that you should be using a different method or teach you to only take out what you need.
Just a thought.

You're just like my other half! I know, I won't appropriate any blame to anyone else. Not lost anything like that (keys, phone etc) in years. Then 3 in a month now. I'm buying a chain to clip it to my body and getting some trackers so that I don't ever do it again! Or i'll tape it to my chest. Or live inside on benefits for ever, claiming I will instantly have my wallet lost if I venture more than 200 yards from my front door!

You work for FCC as a revenue protection officer ?? On the same level as a scumbag parking warden IMO, I hope you suffered as much inconvenience as you've caused passengers with genuine reasons in the past.

I'm an INSPECTOR. Not an OFFICER.

I don't do a popular job, and fully expect to never see it again but IF an Albion fan did pick it up i'd hope they'd return it.
