i think last year another club did discounts on any armed forces personnel ( dont quote me but i think it was wakefield for a game) we dont get any discounts for anywhere while if your a student you get a discount everywhere. Dont want to sound like im having a pop at any students on here but i really think we deserve it more. So im all up for for davids idea, just that one though

Armed forces should be allowed in free, i liked the touch of the FA letting some armed forces into the Belarus game the other week

Unemployed should be let in free.

just my point, i cant get a season ticket as i live near bath but when im back home i try and get to any game i can, but 17 quid starts to add up over the months

this is rediculous.

as ive stated in another thread, personally i think it should be an equally fair set price for everyone, under 16's, adults, OAP's, students, disabled, genuinely unemployed, benefit scroungers alike.

If you cant afford it then you dont go simples.

Its not fair that adults have to pay approx £150 more than oaps in the north and approx £170 more than kids. A seat is a seat and should be the same value irrespective of who sits in it.

It should be £180 a seat in the north for everyone.
Cant comment on the south, east and west as i dont frequent those stands.

Do you not get paid in your job then?

How the chuff do you expect a kid to fork out hundreds of pounds? And how do you expect the club to turn a profit when those who can't afford to go at those ricockulous prices simply stop? Dick.

The new bloke in charge at Hillborough has done a similar thing, half price for unemployed people to sit in the north west corner(cheese wedge stand) it's caused some annoyance with other season ticket holders but it's part of lee strafford's pr campaign* to get local bods/ex speccies to see the owls in a good light again and, following the previous chairman's pr campaign of 'Sue the fans'.

It's also a part of scoring brownie points and selling wednesday as a community club, like villa and Barcelona we've waived any lucrative principal shirt sponsor in favour of free advertising/patronship of Sheffield Children's hospice.



err, thread drift over....

course i do, im not saying i cant afford 17 quid, if ive made the effort to travel the 200 miles north every 2 weeks then course im going to pay the gate fee whatever the price. I just dont agree with students trying to get money off everything they see when they clearly dont deserve it.

From what I can gather from I Hate Pies' original post, he has just made the transition from Secondary Shcool to sixth form and was asking whether the change of Season Ticket - from Wolfpack to student - meant that he no longer had entry into away matches included in his ST price. If anything, he has to pay a lot more than he did before and, I would imagine, with very little, if any, income from part time work.

100% spot on.
