| Tickets on sale from tomorrow. I know we get a lot of visits from the dark side, so I'd like to ask, £19 for a pensioner? Is that really on? That's 50% higher than any other away ticket I've bought for my father-in-law this year. Pearson, you robbing get.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

How to spectacularly miss the point. I will gladly pay the 24 quid for myself, that's not out of line with other clubs, the concession rate is. It's £13 for him at Widnes tomorrow and that's as high as it's been all season.

We seem to have this every year at the KC in one way or another maybe it should be brought up at a higher level, I note that rovers are freezing prices next season but hull is putting theirs up slightly if a small club like ours can do it, why can not hull the big club not do it

Pensioners seem to fall into two categories poor or absolutely loaded there's no inbetween

You're a spectacular wind up merchant pal, I see you snared a couple. My 82 year old father in law most definitely doesn't fall into the "bi annual beamer" category, just loves his rugby & his allotment. He'd get on well with some posters on here.

Oh dear. Do I sense a bit of a lover's tiff?

There are some people that really make me angry and you one of them.
I've heard some absolute garbage spoken in my time but yours is almost off the scale.
To suggest that most pensioners are minted is an absolute insult to a generation that worked their socks of for forty five years before they could even get a pension, a paltry 113.00 per week state pension, people who work now only need to work 35 years to receive a full state pension which is due to rise 1n 2016 to about around 155.00 , though current pensioners will not be entitled to it
Also, most of that generation didn't get the welfare handouts that they get now i.e. generous family allowances, child care etc, etc.
My father who started off on the shop floor before working his way up to be a manager for the last ten years of his employment, retired after 44 years of company service on a final pension of about 160.00 net per week, i would hardly call that minted, he was also one of the lucky ones, as many employees never even received final salary pensions at all, they have to currently rely on a paltry 113.00 per week, one of the worst state pensions in Europe.
So, before you go stereotyping every pensioner as minted you should first go and learn a few facts and see the reality which is.... although there are are a lucky few over 65s who came out with good final salary pensions they are not in the majority by any means.
Its also worth remembering that there are still quite a few pensioners in their late 80s who fought in the last great war, don't you think they deserve a little help here and there either.
Just remember, you'll be old one day, i wonder if your sentiments will be the same then , i doubt it somehow.
