I'm 76 and enjoy my concession. The fact that "you know who" doesn't like it makes it even more enjoyable. Suck it up Bumpy. You stick with your discounted membership.

Out of interest, if you didn't get a discount would you still go?

Of course I would. I've been supporting this team since the days of Mick Scott, the Drake twins etc., so saving a few quid is not a consideration for me.

I too enjoy my concession and have done for five years. My lovely lady passed away at 64 after working most of her life as a nurse and enjoyed her pension for 6 months. Swings and roundabouts as they say. Anyone knocking concessions etc. Needs an head tap, but like de Murphy’s, I’m not bitter, unlike some.

I have been retired 13years,and after leaving the railway,I still get my free travel travel on the trains,which enabled me to attend all the home games when I was healthier,how about that bumpy.? Suppose you will be emailing the minister of transport now,to cry your eyes out over that.






born in airlie str,1939.german landmine that fell on boulevard,also blew up half of our house.thats why i dont like germans.not because they blew our house and boulevard up,but because the gerry pillock was aiming for craven park.

Wow Hessle Roader 76 and still going, super effort, these young whipper snappers, don’t know what’s coming to them ALL.

I wouldn’t mind but I did pay for all the tickets, as good dads and grandads will, it was just some clubs discount at 60, and others 65.

that's the issue really, the disparity between clubs.

It was the same with the disabled fans. Some clubs gave concessions, some didn't and some gave the carer concessions only. Now with the DDA coming in a few years ago, just about every club's (not sure on Championship clubs) policy is the disabled person pays full price and the carer goes free. This usually goes for most other venues too. The clubs should have a universal policy on concessions, that way everyone knows where they are.






A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.

When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.

Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.


"No amount of cajolery, and no attempts at ethical or social seduction, can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred for the Tory Party. So far as I am concerned they are lower than vermin. " Anuerin Bevan

I'm far from his biggest fan but rather than just name calling him why not offer a counter argument?

Why should over 60s (especially those still in work) get in to games for less money than other adults?

Indeed, plenty of retired over 60's with spare cash too!
