At the Turnstiles....

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I've only used the 'Child Ticket' thing once. A couple of weeks ago in fact. I had four Aussie visitors, a family of mum plus three teenage kids, down for the weekend and I wanted to take them to the Cheltenham game. I was really not looking forward one little bit to parting with 4 x 24.50 = 98 quid for a one-off treat, and i sort of knew that the youngest son was 15 or thereabouts. So I got him a Child ticket without asking him his date of birth (turns out he was 16 two weeks previously). So hands up to that one. Plus a bloke at work had won two tickets off the Argus that I bought off him for tenner - he was going to bin 'em otherwise. So I managed to get the whole family in for about 50 quid. If I'd had to pay a hundred quid I'd probably have packed them all off to the Pier instead.

Really brought it home to me tho just how bloody expensive it is (as a STH you tend to forget over the course of a season I'm ashamed to say)

Me and my mates alwyas used to buy child tickets from the ticket office a couple of years ago, ok we were 17 and probably could pass for 15, just, but if they asked who they were for we just said little bro or sumait, they never checked at the turnstiles!
