TICKETS for England’s Euro 2012 showdown are going so badly they are being offered for sale at petrol stations!

The Bulgarian FA have been reduced to desparate measures in a bid to shift tickets.

Officials revealed yesterday that they had sold less than 15,000 tickets for the game at the 43,600-capacity Vasil Levski stadium in Sofia.

“Our team only have a very slim chance of reaching the finals but I’m still surprised because there are so many English football fans in Bulgaria,” one fan said.
