ProudtobeaBrummie Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) There are plenty of things a 14 year old can do to earn £8 pocket money a fortnight . Its the 65 + year olds that have been supporting the sport for the previous 50 years that deserve subsidising Edited December 5, 2017 by redandyellow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GS550 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Oh and 8 year olds should be down the pit earning their keep Not the same thing, we aint talkin 'bout 8 year olds, its 14 year olds. The guy asked of his 14 year old son "how does he pay £8 (half price) as he doesn't work and doesn't earn any money." Answer: the guy that asked the question should be paying for him, he his responsibility not everybody else's but he expects the rest of us to pay for him.

GS550 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 under 16s free at Berwick, forward thinking to try and capture the young fan Good stuff. Well here's a bit of forward thinking. I won't retire for yonks yet but I'm gonna save my entrance fee so that when I retire and aint earning I will have enough to pay for the entrance fee that they've hiked up. I agree with much of what the Glasgow promotion have done but I thoroughly object to what they're doing with those over 65, it stinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 What a load of bull. How does your 14 year old son pay. Simple - you should be paying for him, he is your responsibility not everybody else's but you expect the rest of us to pay for him. And why should "everyone else" take responsibility for paying for old people? Why do "you expect the rest of us to pay for" them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS550 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Winter fuel allowance would pay for a season ticket..... Problem solved eh. Let pensioners get hypothermia and spend the winter fuel allowance on a Glasgow season ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with much of what the Glasgow promotion have done but I thoroughly object to what they're doing with those over 65, it stinks. I too like that they have spent on Ashfield, and are willing to pay for a team that will win, it does however seem to have been done without a sensible business plan, hence having to hike the concessions. If you expend large amounts and you also want to make profits, you better make sure you have worked out some good profit and loss forecasts. I should have retired in June truthfully should have retired when I was 60, but have decided to carry on, that way I can afford the things I have got used to.

GS550 Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 And why should "everyone else" take responsibility for paying for old people? Why do "you expect the rest of us to pay for" them? Pensioners have kept the country going for years, in retirement they usually aren't earning now and many are living on the state pension which derives little or no disposable income. It was only a reduced entrance fee anyway, they were still paying, just a little less, only about £3 or so reduction as I understand and still paying what they can. Maybe they should have left it on a voluntary basis as Glasgow stated that some of their over 65's had been volunteering to pay full price as those particular individuals could afford it. That way the ones over 65 that genuinely can't afford it wouldn't be affected. You're the guy that said you paid £55,000 for your car, so you obviously have a few bob more than the rest of us and hardly qualified to snipe at old age pensioners scraping by on the state pension. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MANSE Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 But their was the ones who tried to get in on the concession rate you could say they are the ones that have caused the price hike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean they correctly sought entry being pensioners on the bread line getting by on the state pension so qualified for a couple of quid reduction.... .....and you reckon "they" caused some spike in prices. You may as well say that they caused OPEC to raise oil prices. Have you been on the sauce mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
