Ticket on window but wrong way round.... ref no clearly in view... help please

Today i parked in council car park now being adminsitered by car parking ( managemnt ) cumbria.

i bought propser ticket and put on windescreen... inadvertantly i put details bit facing inwards but ref number clearly seen as was printed on both sides of ticket.

On return i had a fine (parking charge notice) based on failure to display a valid ticket.
facts:
1. Master car park Sign boards stated that valid ticket required to be displayed... did not say in what manner... mine was displayed and they had the ability to check what i had paid given ref number was clear
2. ticket its self says "place ticket on dash board"... but no reference to way round... mine was clearly displayed on the dash board

Is there anything i can do...??? i had paid and displayed in line with requirements, albeit wouldl have been clearer if i had put ticket the correct way round... but i had complied in line with instructions

quick help and advice gratefully accepted

    If you are sure it's a parking charge notice then ignore it.

    It isn't a Council owned car park then, or they've leased it to the occupier who's using a PPC.

    Does the ticket definitely not say Penalty Charge Notice and does it have no reference to the Council on it at all? If it doesn't mention the Council then ignore it completely.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).
