Students seem to come just under concessions at Bradford, and so I'm not sure you're right about that. It wasn't exactly clear, because it talked about students just getting a discount on the gate (unless that was a discount off the young adult ticket). I couldn't see anywhere with a clause describing "young adult".

I LOVE WAKEFIELD TRINITY WILDCATS.....
AND FOR ME THERE IS NO BETTER TEAM IN THE SUPER LEAGUE TO FOLLOW!!!!!: |

| whats the problem? i really dont get it. School students should get it cheaper. 16+ still in education should still pay that little more. simply because they are able to work. Dont get me wrong ive had student tickets up until last year but when it came to getting them i went and did extra hours coaching or working. whats the god damn problem!

Yes a little bit more, but when juniors are £20 and students are £95, its a big difference.
In a few other clubs, students pay double the amount of what juniors pay.

Yes i know what your saying about 16+ have an opportunity to work, which is true, but its finding a job that will work around the college hours thats the hard part.

65 is ment to be the retirement age yes?
But a child, is still a child, wether they're at college or not, until their 18th birthday.

on head nail hit, thats why they are students, work shy layabouts sponging of mummy and daddy and thats my opinion and impression i get from 99% of em i meet, i deal with them every day, most of em drop out before completing cos they cant even handle that,
Get a job and face real life like the rest of us

| Maybe the club should be doing more to attract young fans, but as the £20 on the gate fee for adults this year has shown there doesn't seem much will to look to growing gates for the future, maybe it's just needs must or a lack of imagination.
I would like to see a special deal specifically for Wakefield College students, given all the links the club have, but I'm not holding my breath for the forward thinking policies.
P.S. A 5 year old would have got in to all games for free last year, but now will have to pay. Have they had a change in income capacity? Life moves on and gets more expensive. Get used to it.

| You say there are jobs out there and you just have to be willing to do them, but I have lost count of the amount of jobs I have applied for since I started college last September but the amount of employers that actually get back to you about them is pretty poor tbf. And would it not be for my age I would be applying for jobs that include nightshifts, but as the law stands I can't.I would also like to add that not all teenagers/students are laybouts, its not very fair to stereotype todays young 'uns on whether or not they have a job even if they are looking for one, there probably has been and will be again, a time where you have been unemployed so by your wisdom that would make you a "workshy layabout" yeah, didnt think so..... And was there any need to start lowering the tone by chucking about insults? Not really....
