I have been retired 13years,and after leaving the railway,I still get my free travel travel on the trains,which enabled me to attend all the home games when I was healthier,how about that bumpy.? Suppose you will be emailing the minister of transport now,to cry your eyes out over that.

Wow Hessle Roader 76 and still going, super effort, these young whipper snappers, don’t know what’s coming to them ALL.

I wouldn’t mind but I did pay for all the tickets, as good dads and grandads will, it was just some clubs discount at 60, and others 65.

that's the issue really, the disparity between clubs.

It was the same with the disabled fans. Some clubs gave concessions, some didn't and some gave the carer concessions only. Now with the DDA coming in a few years ago, just about every club's (not sure on Championship clubs) policy is the disabled person pays full price and the carer goes free. This usually goes for most other venues too. The clubs should have a universal policy on concessions, that way everyone knows where they are.

I'm far from his biggest fan but rather than just name calling him why not offer a counter argument?

Why should over 60s (especially those still in work) get in to games for less money than other adults?

Indeed, plenty of retired over 60's with spare cash too!

Where did I say over 60's??? The old age pension is paid, as of now to men over 65 and women at between 60 & 65 as its gradually changing. I assume you mean over 60's for when the pension age for all women was 60? And if he can't work out why pensioners on a fixed income of £125.95 a week shouldn't get a concession then I'm not explaining it to him.

Is it because clubs value their seniors, and rewarding them for all the heartbreak they have endured



Or perhaps the gold watch syndrome for services rendered, or is it simply good business, a purely fiscal thing, as they say age is just a number, but like it not “come on you Ull” you have to wait till your 60 for the black & white discount, or if you support a certain other club in Hull, you must wear your ball and chain a further five years.

No, I was asking you why over 60s (especially the ones who have yet to retire) should be able to get into games for less money than other adults?

You called him 'clueless' for not agreeing with the policy.

I didn't say 60, I said OAP's. And he is clueless if he doesn't realise how low the Old Age Pension is.

After reading this thread I've gone & bought one of these online. What a great investment, it should pay for itself after only a few games. Thanks guys.

Bumpy doesn't think that over 60s should get a discount (I agree with him). You said he was 'clueless'.

Do you think people over 60 still in work (or for that matter those who have taken early retirement) should get a discount?
