| Quote ="Seventies red"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.

For every retired Gp there will be several thousand ex factory workers, shop workers, office workers etc, who find themselves lucky to afford 1 or 2 weeks holiday a year, they probably drive around in a Ford fiesta or something similar.

Yes you are right I come on hear because I am a rovers fan who lives now to far to come to every match I used to go every year to London since I have been down hear, to see rovers when they played them but that has now gone I come on hear for rovers gossip not to read drivel by certain posters |

Flippin heck. He said he wasn't trawling to find out what the thread was about. He then mentioned £19 tickets. Therefore he must have 'trawled through streams of bilge', (his words, not mine), because he obviously knew what the thread was about. |

Back to the original topic, I'm afraid £19 is the going rate for all, home & away, and has been all year. Not much I can say in favour of it except it isn't a special raise (or "non discount"icon_wink.gif for the derby game so in that sense it isn't a rip off.

Apart from the South Stand (which incidently offers an identical view to the North Stand) where concessions are £15, so in that sense, it is a rip off. |

Wouldn't the South offer a mirrored view to the North. Rather than an identical one? |
