Tickets on sale from tomorrow. I know we get a lot of visits from the dark side, so I'd like to ask, £19 for a pensioner? Is that really on? That's 50% higher than any other away ticket I've bought for my father-in-law this year. Pearson, you robbing get.

The Baby Boomer generation has fecked the whole of western civilisation.

Anything to redress the balance is good for me.

Don't go then. Simples.

How to spectacularly miss the point. I will gladly pay the 24 quid for myself, that's not out of line with other clubs, the concession rate is. It's £13 for him at Widnes tomorrow and that's as high as it's been all season.

We seem to have this every year at the KC in one way or another maybe it should be brought up at a higher level, I note that rovers are freezing prices next season but hull is putting theirs up slightly if a small club like ours

can do it, why can not hull the big club

not do it

I've never understood concessions for pensioners. Most of them are minted. No mortgage, fat final saalry pensions. They should be paying double

You're early with your idiotic post of the day. Fool.

(TWIT )listen mate I am a pensioner worked all my life never on dole have 2 pensions and my wife has a small one but still find it hard at times we still have to live like you

I feel for you mate. The pensioner across the street from me changes his beemer every 2 years for a new one

Pensioners seem to fall into two categories poor or absolutely loaded there's no inbetween

You're a spectacular wind up merchant pal, I see you snared a couple. My 82 year old father in law most definitely doesn't fall into the "bi annual beamer" category, just loves his rugby & his allotment. He'd get on well with some posters on here.

Oh dear. Do I sense a bit of a lover's tiff?

There are some people that really make me angry and you one of them.


I've heard some absolute garbage spoken in my time but yours is almost off the scale.
To suggest that most pensioners are minted is an absolute insult to a generation that worked their socks of for forty five years before they could even get a pension, a paltry 113.00 per week state pension, people who work now only need to work 35 years to receive a full state pension which is due to rise 1n 2016 to about around 155.00 , though current pensioners will not be entitled to it
Also, most of that generation didn't get the welfare handouts that they get now i.e. generous family allowances, child care etc, etc.

My father who started off on the shop floor before working his way up to be a manager for the last ten years of his employment, retired after 44 years of company service on a final pension of about 160.00 net per week, i would hardly call that minted, he was also one of the lucky ones, as many employees never even received final salary pensions at all, they have to currently rely on a paltry 113.00 per week, one of the worst state pensions in Europe.

So, before you go stereotyping every pensioner as minted you should first go and learn a few facts and see the reality which is.... although there are are a lucky few over 65s who came out with good final salary pensions they are not in the majority by any means.
Its also worth remembering that there are still quite a few pensioners in their late 80s who fought in the last great war, don't you think they deserve a little help here and there either.
Just remember, you'll be old one day, i wonder if your sentiments will be the same then , i doubt it somehow.

I think it was meant as a joke and not absolute fact

It was really funny.

Maybe his true colours are starting to show and everyone can now see him for the ballbag he is?

The cost for an oap of £19 is an absolute disgrace and no wonder it provokes people into the above response when it obviously and deservedly hits a nerve from flippent comments about pensioners.
Joined up here a few weeks ago as a long term follower,player and coach of RL and thought it would be good to share some views and maybe get some info on whats going on with HKR and rugby in general. I was naive enough to think that most people on the site would be of the same opinion, maybe they are but tbh every thread gets taken over by someone whos only intention is to point score or provoke someone into an argument. This will be me last contribution as i cant be bothered to look through streams of bilge to find some actual content about what the original thread was about.I wonder how many other like minded people have come and gone the same way as me. Shame really.

How's Des today? Did you let him lie in this morning?

The fact you know its £19 for an oap ticket suggests you have trawled through the bilge to find what the thread is about.

Great comeback.

In comparison to your "hilarious" Rolf Harris material it indeed was. I expect I will get a Perrier award sooner than you.

Don't get your hopes up.

Well he wouldn't have to do much trawling as its the very first post on this thread. Do catch up!!
