Would This Work For Us?

It would have to be at an higher price and strong tests in place to stop a pensioner renewing on behalf of their reletive who's passed away so they can't use the offer of someone else. But fairplay to Accrington for thinking it up and looking at a new money avaneut.

 

I hope not. I don't fancy funding somebody who already gets a cheap ticket further.

 

You gotta get the kids in.

They are the future (apparently).

 

That generation have benefited from the housing boom, gold plated pensions, do we really have to keep subsidising them? A lot of them are as well off and more than people who are grafting all week.

Not for me.

 

Your talking about people who grafted all week down the coal mines in the steelworks and various industries for 50 years. They often went on strike to try and protect the jobs for the younger generation. Going without food for the families who fully supported them for months. I know my dad never worked less than six days a week for us. He never got to retirement age but he didn't leave us in any debt however his life's asset was the council house he bought which we inherited.
I am sure he would have swapped a week of his grafting for a week in a call centre.

I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to improve the set up for when you get there.

 

Am I talking about people who grafted down mines? Many didn't. And so what if they did? I totally agree with a concession for oap's, just as I do for young uns, but we don't have to keep giving them more and more. What they did for a living years ago doesn't come into the equation though.

What about folk who can't find work? Maybe we should be helping them to attend cheaply? They've often got far less than oap's. Or people on minimum wage?

I'll feel the same when I get to that age.

 

Don't forget the oap concession has been notched up from 60 to 65.

Am glad tha agrees

 

Some of those at Accy were around in 68 when they reformed and it took until 06 before they got back into the Football League, so whilst a good inniative for their club not one we should be taking up IMO.
