there's still a significant level of fraud with respect to age related concessions at sporting events, Hull City experienced this and had a big run in with fans over it recently.

Personally I don't think there should be an 'oap' concession at all, for the junior/student, yes. Also there should be no oap concession for season tickets/full memberships if indeed there is one.
However I understand why clubs still offer it, too fearful that removal will lose fans, frankly if a couple of quid will stop some fans from attending (which it does in RL circles a lot from what I've read over the years including a reason for opposition fans not to come to our ground) then that is really more down to other things as opposed to affordability.

'pensioners' get far too many freebies/concessions as it is, the old pony trotted out 'well we put into the pot for xx years so we deserve xxx' is a nonsense, didn't pay anywhere near enough.

Bit like Asda and the arthritis clinic.

Nah bo**oc*s let em work it out.

Hull will give us a tough game but the key is to silence their fans in the Threepenny Stand.We have to do this because if we do'nt they will get behind their side and lift them in a way you've never seen,heard or witnessed before.

Never understood why OAP's get discounts, what is wrong is that it's different at different clubs, by 2020 the retirement age is going to be 66, any discounts should be linked to whatever the state retirement age is.

"The current state pension age is 63 for women and 65 for men, with the former due to rise steadily until all workers retire at 65 by 2018. From 2019, the state pension age will increase for both men and women, reaching 66 by 2020 and 67 between 2026 and 2028"

If it keeps going up a lot of us will never see a pension!
