THE Stokes family have finally managed to secure tickets to see Bolton steeplechaser Stuart in action.
Up to this week, mum and dad, Lilian and David Stokes, did not have tickets to see their son's Commonwealth bid in the 3,000m steeplechase.
"We were confident we would get them in the end but it got a little close. We finally got some for me and David through Athletics England as well as Stuart's two brothers," said Lilian.
"And now that Stuart has moved in the Games Village, he is hoping to barter for a few more tickets to satisfy other members of the family and friends."
