    As long as he qualifies for benefits he should be fine.

    Love the idea that someone at the club has no clue, but somebody on here will have the answer.

    Have a similar situation in my family and we've never been given any concession. Perhaps we just didn't ask!

    I was asking the same couple of weeks back. I'm registered disabled following the stroke and get a little help with the personal independence payment, while I get back to earning fully.
    I'm off for tickets tomorrow so will inquire at the B.O. and report back. I don't need or want to go in the disabled stand, that space should be for those less fortunate and mobile than me. But a concessionary season ticket would certainly help while I get back up to speed. There must be some guidelines for qualification. It's likely more people would qualify than we think.
    Be well, everyone... :D

    Probably more people would qualify than we realise. I don't think that would be such a bad thing. The club would still get money up front and may even benefit financially, rather than people just attending sporadically ( if that's the word:D). And it's not as if we don't have space.

    isn't this a private matter between him and the club, instead of it being aired on here????

    i wouldn't thank you for it...
