Nope, how many 80 year olds would you employ? Being on a fixed income is not a generalisation. Its about having no other earning potential, but how would you impliment clubs means testing? Isn't it easier just to have everyone on a state pension have a concession?

You've opened a right can of worms here.

Where is PCollinson1990 these days?

Busy thinking of a new nom-de-plume.

… I thought he'd already re-appeared this morning.

… sorry, I wasn't referring to you, just someone who happened to have registered today and has had a lot to say.

I doubt any sporting club has the right to ask if you are employed, but asking for proof of your age is very common.

That's a lie for a start off, I actually put more money into the club by buying the membership than if i'd simply paid full price on the gate. The fc live was neither here nor there and available to all fans.
It's not an age concession
I don't bother with a membership I just pay full price each time.
Maybe applying your pathetic rules, oap's are deliberately getting old to get the concession

Suck what up, I don't begrudge those getting the age concession, I just don't agree with it for the older group. Pathetic response frankly, totally ott.

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'

you can get by on the basic state pension, you should try it, it's not hard really.
£3/4 a game or £40/50 a year is not going to change anything, even less total outlay buying a season pass.
that's not even taking account of those with a hard earned work pension.
clearly it's not me who is hard of thinking here.

yup, do have a look, I didn't buy the membership solely to get the fc live discount, not that that matters as it's not restricted to age nor is a concession. You apply the same venom to full membership holders for getting fc live half price if not, why not?
