Wow! So the twenty somethings who sit along from me qualify............ that should leave them more money to spend on beer
It's not measured by age, it's measured by how many visits to the toilet you need, and how many times you moan about the football not being as good as it used to be.
we have discussed this before by the time I got up the stairs the game would be over and I would have wet myself65 at the moment. You don't really want to be there. Bit like a free Lift pass at 70, when you finally reach the right age you are too decrepit or too poor to take advantage.
must apply soon then I think I might get in free as most of the match would be spent starring at the urinals
It was 60 for a while, as one of my friends just came into that category she got it at the cheaper rate. Then when they moved it up to 65 they let her stay at the lower price.
Not sure if thats correct. I was under 65 for a number of years at Withdean but had to wait till I was 65 before they gave me the reduced rate. I thought the qualifying date was that you had to be 65 on the 1st August to get one for the season.
I got a senior ST aged 60 at Withdean.

She and I often have a chuckle about how well life has treated us. It started with being given the opportunity to be born under the NHS, moved rapidly on to free orange juice, delivered us the music of the sixties at precisely the right age to appreciate it, and culminated in a cheap season ticket and a free bus pass, just before they realised that these were expensive perks that needed to be denied to folk born a couple of years later.
Thank you, Mr Attlee.
Had a senior ticket at 60 at Withdean and continued at The Amex although only 64 for the first three months "until of age"
