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.

i am afraid that this is what you call "life" and i hate pies is sadly going to learn that he has to start paying for things with "hard earned cash".

welcome to adulthood Mr I Hate Pies

I don't know about any other students on this forum, but I personally have never campaigned for student discounts here, there and everywhere. I'm just taking advantage on whats on offer to me.

Students get home games only. If you buy an individual ticket it is the same price as a concession ticket.

Thats my view of it as someone who has just gone back to being a student.

However I do have a problem with some parts of those who are eligible for student discount. I have no problem with those who are on full time courses (and by that I don't mean 10 hours lectures a week as some "full time" courses seem to be) getting the discount, I don't agree with it being for part time students though - I know someone who has an NUS card for being on a night school course 2 nights a week

My daughter is now living about 100 yards from t'other lot's ground....

i have a friend who has just got a ST by this method although he did 18 years in the army and fought in the Gulf, Bosnia & Iraq so i'll let him off

Point taken - apart from the insult (no need).

However, consider the amount of people who it may attract ie, those who think £250 is top heavy but would gladly part with £150-180.

I reckon most of the oap's would stump up the extra £50-80 no problems, as for the kids it will be a more worthy investment rather than numerous 2 litre bottles of cider or worse.

But where do you draw the line there? Would you expect a single parent to fork out the same amount twice for themselves and their six, seven, eight year old? I wouldn't want to be paying adult prices for essentially little more than a toddler.
