I doubt if such a ticket ever existed. I don't think Watford Stadium

ever
had a regular service so it is unlikely there would be a season ticket
available from there.

I *know* it did. I have held one in my hand

I wonder if anyone else knows what I am talking about. Specifically with
reference to 2001.

Again, sorry to be cryptic but I thought it might have reached
uk.transport.london in the past.

Well, as Peter said, it never had a regular service, and by 2001 it had
closed anyway, so such a thing wouldn't have existed as a genuine ticket.
My best guess would be a mock ticket, held by a character in a film or
television programme.

If this had been from pre-APTIS days it could also have been a mis-print.
Just before Edmondson stock was phased out somewhere in East London, I think
it was either Forest Gate or Maryland, had ticket stock for Stratford which
had been mis-printed Stafford. I'm not sure how long these lasted for, but
I did manage to get one. I wonder what would have happened if you tried to
travel to Stafford with one.
