lets just leave it, we fon't agree, life would be boring if we all had the same opinions.
Nope, how many 80 year olds would you employ? Being on a fixed income is not a generalisation. Its about having no other earning potential, but how would you impliment clubs means testing? Isn't it easier just to have everyone on a state pension have a concession?

I expected a concession for the student, which I got, and for me, but the girl in the Hull shop, told him Saints concessions were for 65year and up, and advised him, to pay for a full price ticket for me, as I am not 65, wondered what the policy is on ticket pricing for 60 to 65 year olds, it seems pretty petty if Saints are using this ruling.

Think it’s finished now, won’t mention I missed out on my bus pass, as the council changed the rules, and now I have to wait till I’m 67 for it, when my mates hop on and off gratis, the greedy old buggers.

People should re read this thread. Bumpy actually said OAP's claiming a pension shouldn't get a concession not only on sports tickets but in daily living, yet students should and claimed fraud is prevelant in OAP- concessions, yet I got jumped on demanding to know why I think the over 60's and still in work should get a concession, which is not what Bumpy or I said.

That's a lie for a start off, I actually put more money into the club by buying the membership than if i'd simply paid full price on the gate. The fc live was neither here nor there and available to all fans. It's not an age concession I don't bother with a membership I just pay full price each time. Maybe applying your pathetic rules, oap's are deliberately getting old to get the concession
