Season tics

[jdfc]

That wud be £60 for a boy taking 2 say 9 year olds to a fitba match?
Had a wee look at yer other mob Charlton, they seem clued up on pricing imo. It's a tough one as the pricing goes down so does the budget for players etc.

I did say there would be a separate price for primary school children, at the moment an adult is paying £26, £28 and £30 for matches so like I said it would balance itself out

I don't really consider old until mid seventies these days and a helluva lot of under 80s are perfectly fit........

I think we would lose a few of the older age group who maybe have another decade or so of attending but even if we gained the same amount of youngsters we will have them for longer

It's an outdated system offering oap discounts and having youngsters on less than a tenner an hour pay full whack.

I'll probably be arguing about it in another decade as I don't see it changing but it really should......not just in sport but other areas of society.

And yet other areas have escaped the compulsory pensioner discount......hotels, holidays, car manufacturers to name a few.

But like deeranged if I'm still around I'll take advantage of it in 10 to 15 years time, I'm not gonna cut my nose off to spite my face but I'm not going throw my toys out the pram if pensioner discount is consigned to the dustbin of history

People fought long and hard to get reductions for OAPs because they had a reduced income after they retired.
There was a big outcry when the Dundee Football Club directors increased the age for qualifying for a reduced price season ticket and PATG at a stroke from 60 to 65.

I agree for once with you , I’ve got an OAP season ticket but I’ve only been twice so far this season , I look out the window before the game and if the weather is Sh1te then I watch the game on my joeyed stick for free , I’ve had long Covid since September so don’t know when I’ll feel well enough to go back to dens , but I will still be renewing my OAP season ticket next season anyway , I’m not just a Dundee fan and a supporter , ps Covid is real guys since September I’ve gone from walking the dog 4 miles every morning to being breathless after drying myself after a shower and not being able to walk my pup

Sorry to hear about your illness. I had a similar problem over a year ago suffering from a chest infection and then four months later an upper respiratory tract infection. After using a peak flow meter for two weeks I was diagnosed suffering from asthma and I now use a Kelhale inhaler night and morning.
It has been a great success as I am now able to walk up Provost Road after the game with no problems whereas before my asthma was diagnosed I had stop half way up to catch my breath.

Thought you were currently abusing the system?

More a conscientious objector

No one on here ever said it wasn't but so is cancer, heart attack, strokes, epilepsy, mental illness

And a couple of points Islay,....do people have less income than a ****ager when they retire?......most won't.

And......do you still think it should be 60?

[Returnofrros]

That should be **** ager....no idea why starred out
