Rules are rules I suppose. The way they've been applied in this case seems open to question for the sake of a few days. My phone broke and I wasn't due an upgrade for another week, my mobile provider let me off and upgraded me as they could see from the database that I was a loyal longstanding customer. We're all family aren't we except when it suits and then we're customers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OWLS about that? Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 2 hours ago, Derbyshireowl3 said: When do they go on sale? Will anyone be mad enough to buy one? Whats he going to charge? December probably Hope not £452 + VAT.... But it does come with a free doughnut and vouchers for the club shop which you can't use until we reach the Premier League 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocking treatment and DC doesnt understand why the fans arent happy. Customers should be treated with respect and the club seems to have lost the empathy that MM brought back to the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, seems harsh but I suppose you've got to have a cut off point. If you bend the rules for this guy someone else will come along and say "well surely I should be able to have one 'cos my birthday is only 10 days after torryowls mate" And so on and so on....... With a fan base as large as ours you woud soon be getting an OAP's ticket for your 21st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sham67 Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I only missed the cut-off by 1894 days. Been a ST holder for 41 years. Made me pay full whack. The club should hang their heads in shame. PS. If MM hadn't changed the age limit for a senior ticket, I'd have one now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re changing the format and you get to go to every game, but have to leave a half time. It means and the customers go home happier than usual.

ReadingOwl Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Sorry, but this is controversial. But, I don’t see why OAP’s automaticly get concessions. When I reach OAP status I will never have had more disposable income. Massively more. Certainly more than a young couple with kids would normally have. Anyone who provided for their old age - a company/employment pension, savings and the state pension, is quids in. Loads have no mortgage too. I don’t have a mortgage. Don't understand this obsession with giving gratuities to pensioners above and beyond the norm. Sure - Some aren’t well off - but that goes for all demographics of society. Can’t see why they should be an exception to the rule personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont begrudge anyone anything. Good luck. And, I dont want to start a race to the bottom. But it’s not true when most people claim pensioners are poor - a lot aren’t. Most have neve4 had as much. Its the kids with young families, and mortgages, I feel sorry for. Are they going to get in for £13:00 a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's recompense for 60 years of watching (mainly) tosh, including about 30 years risking pneumonia on an uncovered Kop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they going to get in for £13:00 a ticket? Reasonable family tickets (1 adult 1 child, 1 adult 2 child, etc) with a drink and good included should be available. E.g £35 - 1 adult 1 child - 2 pies and 2 soft drinks £50 - 1 adult 2 child - 3 pies and 3 soft drinks And so on...

I wouldn’t embarrass myself in going just because I’d reached OAP age even if it was £13:00 a week - if I hadn’t been going at the higher prices. £40:00 a game in the South as a POTG customer or £13:00 a game as an OAP S/T holder. The discrepancy is staggering. I know for a fact that some OAP’s on here have supported the Clubs high pricing policy - even though, they themselves, weren’t even paying the higher prices. Used to grind my gears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
