The article quoted above states the average weekly wage is now 549.80 !
Not in our house it isn't !
Many people are struggling at the momemt, not just pensioners. However i appreciate what people are saying. Maybe if we weren't paying out for all the free loaders coming into the country we would all be better off but that's going off the subject.
I still think it's not a bad price though when compared with what you pay in SL to see past it Aussies etc.

There are people who only receive OAP who pay income tax and if they receive any other pension they pay tax

As i said i appreciate people have paid their dues over the years but the club needs to draw money in from somewhere. Without being funny it is not a charity and we need to start as we mean to go on.
Do you really think the price of a season ticket is that bad for Seniors ?

We are talking about matchday prices mainly which are not proportionate to adult prices. I think we will be talking with our feet after 58 years supporting the club

No given an ordinary season with a settled side, but with a good few years of turmoil behind it Doncaster RL is not a club IMO that folk are prepared to gamble on a season ticket, whatever the price. I will not be buying a season ticket and will take it game for game. That is the whole point, why set the matchday senior price at a level that is off putting to the hardned fans who think likewise, never mind the casual fans that may decide to come down if the team performs accordingly. The club is not a charity I grant you, but neither are the bloody long suffering folk who have been there through thick and thin. The club needs to be a trusted organization and overpricing its OAP fans ain't doing much for that trust.

Charging more for an inferior product usually shuts the shop, and yes I am on OAP and yes I can afford the new inflated price but will I be there as often as before, I doubt it. Sorry Carl you got this one wrong.

To be fair we probably have more free loading English people than any other ethnicity. The likes of Rupert Murdoch (who changes his nationality to get his own way in some countries) has never paid any tax, like many of the wealthy English people who can afford clever accountants.

Lets not bring racism into the club's inability to get the pricing structure right.

But the kids will come and they me [for give] are long term and the future, as for a poorer product, I've watched some cracking games in the lower reaches of the amateur game, why ! because the ability of both teams are equal.

Very old saying, pay peanuts you get peanuts, how will the club be able to move onwards and upwards if the loyals only want to pay peanuts.


How many home games does a season ticket cover ?

We people like you I would just pull the plug on the club, what a whinging tw@ - have 1 less beer for Gods sake and allow the club to grow.

My mother and father are in a far worst group, the ones who's company pension take them just over the limit, this results in them having to pay full council rent, full TV Licence, Dental bills etc, do they whinge NO they just get on with it.

I suppose the season ticket price (adult) awards the faithful.

YOU need to keep off the drink with your late night insults...why you are hardly coherent.
Have you re-read any of your recent posts?
You have nothing to contribute whatsoever apart from insults and when challenged to quantify any of your rantings you don't...or can't.
You're not even a proper Donny supporter....and you come on here lecturing us.
Tune in tomorrow night folks for more of Marshy's p/ssed up posts.
