Suck what up, I don't begrudge those getting the age concession, I just don't agree with it for the older group. Pathetic response frankly, totally ott.

I'm happy to pay full price, I voiced an opinion, it's you who sounds bitter, 'give my head a tap'

I'd better find your post then, but don't hold your breath.
Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?

you can get by on the basic state pension, you should try it, it's not hard really. £3/4 a game or £40/50 a year is not going to change anything, even less total outlay buying a season pass. that's not even taking account of those with a hard earned work pension. clearly it's not me who is hard of thinking here.

yup, do have a look, I didn't buy the membership solely to get the fc live discount, not that that matters as it's not restricted to age nor is a concession. You apply the same venom to full membership holders for getting fc live half price if not, why not?

Iain Duncan Smith said something similar about JSA, we never did find out how much he had left of his £53 for the week.

So will you and the other detractors forgo your discount as and when and if you reach 60? I think not. Do you pay full pops for Maters tickets, I think not. I believe it’s a good gesture by any club to offer any discount no matter what it is. Friends for a fiver got the same reaction a few years ago when it was introduced as did cheap tickets to local rugby clubs. Who said “You can please some of the people all the time and you can please all the people some of the time but you can’t please all the people all the time” wise words.

There seems to be a contradiction here. Do you or do you not buy a membership.

Been retired for over 32 years now but did give the corporate work scene away at 47 in favour of unpaid charity work. Receive a part state pension from the UK of 46 quid a week. Not a grandad.
