£2 a game is £75 increase? Didn’t realise we were playing all 38 games at home, that’s an innovative way of increasing our match day income!

I’m hoping they don’t abandon the OAP reduction
They should consider doing so, or at least target it more effectively at those who actually need it. You've got younger people who are paying ever extortionate rents after years of high inflation hitting their wages while many pensioners own assets (i.e. homes) worth hundreds of thousands with both a state and private pension to help support.
Please explain how much better financially I will be by taking a 75% drop in income when I retire , with no private pension , rent to pay , utility bills to find and inflation busting food to put on the table
Ah yes you mean those pensioners with houses worth worth 100s of 1000s -- you mean the lucky ones that were given those houses for free even though inflation during the 70s was up to 20% , the same ones that didnt spend their own money on a pension --perhaps they would be in a better position had they spent it all on the latest Iphone 68 for a grand or so or perhaps the latest Aididas trainers for small fortunes.
Me to,
I heard they were, but just for the moaning ones.
They’re not faffing about then
Making a list, checking it twice.
As said, younger working people are expected to pay full price when they own no assets, are likely paying high rents or even mortgages, and ever increasing bills as you say.
Should know by Christmas which list you're on!
Not all OAP's are affluent so your system would have to be means tested across the board as there are some of a younger age who are making a good living.
Completely agree. It’s such a personal decision based on individual circumstances. It’s definitely not a “one size fits all scenario”. I’m sure some won’t be renewing at all regardless of the price.
The humanitarian in me (or leftie snowflake depending on opinions!) thinks we should look after OAP prices the same we look after the next generation prices. It’d be an own goal for me to remove concessions for OAPs, albeit unfortunately one I think will happen.
So that will be 98% of the OAP concessions ruled out then.....
I mean, you've indulged in a number of silly myths there. Ridiculous and lazy stereotypes aside, the facts speak for themselves.
Indeed. I want the club to help long standing fans of all ages where it can but I just don't think the blanket approach of saying when you get to a certain age you get X amount off is the best way to do it.
They need to do something, I've said around this time every year the club have a problem FOSUN inherited where the most expensive seats (Billy Wright) were massively under priced compared to other clubs and it's compounded even further by being filled with those on discounted tickets OAPs in the upper and family tickets in the lower.
No silly myths , ridiculous or lazy stereotypes from me at all just straight forward facts--I am indeed a pensioner , I purchased my first house in 1972 so enjoyed the 15-20% inflation and also contributed to a private pension and was always flat broke so dont think what I have said is a ****ing myth.
The whole thing about iPhones and expensive trainers is lazy stereotyping that's designed to somehow paint young people as wasteful and that's why they can't buy a house. As you can see from the chart attached above, you bought a house when they were on average around 2.7 times the average salary (for a man anyway, guess I'm assuming a bit here that you are), compared to today where it's over 11 times that amount, so the ratio has effectively quadrupled.
How on earth does having a house worth 1/2 million put anymore money in my pocket --what do I do offer the club a few bricks out of the West Wing ?
If its in Low Hill you could offer them the garden to train on?
If it is, I hope we remove our flags and banners, pre match. That'll show em
Affordability checks incoming. Club will need to see 3 months worth of pay slips and bank statements.
