A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.
When you rescue a dog, you gain a heart for life.
Handle every situation like a dog. If you can't Eat it or Chew it. Pee on it and Walk Away.

Amyway, it's 60, wether you or I agree with it isn't going to change anything.'"
I didn't generalise about anything so I really don't understand what you mean? The reason why concessions are given to OAP's and the disabled is because they generally have no other earning potential. To means test every concession would be for every applicant to show bank accounts etc and that just isn't possible. Bumpy originally said there is a significant level of fraud to age related concessions, but I don't see how there could be because as he knows, any concession has to show proof and in fact has to show proof every ticket bought if you don't have a seasons pass. I know of at least one person who doesn't have a pass and has to show the club his concession proof every game. |

boo-hoo, ditto my response above.
I'm happy to pay full price, I voiced an opinion, it's you who sounds bitter, 'give my head a tap' ![]()
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.

It's not an age concession ![]()
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. |

Right, I think the Rider has had his question answered many times over, time to lock.
