Given that the only people that can afford to go to watch football nowadays are well off, it'll be well off old people that they are marketing to. As all the well off old people have stolen the pensions and all the housing it should read: Adults £30. Senior (65+) £50.

I'm being flippant, and not all seniors are in the same position. Just using it to make a point. I think the country is far too loaded towards the needs of our older population. And I'm closer to older than younger.

Counterpoint: Why should older people pay less, given they are (on average) the wealthiest people in society?

Would you like to swap your wage packet with my two pensions? I worked for 50 years, paid full NI and have a small private pension. My income is less than £12.5K

You're obviously right - but wasting your time trying to have this conversation on geriatric NSC with an average age well above 50.

In other news why the hell is there 15 points available for Wolves away but only 10 for Man City and Liverpool.

Anyone who is willing to trawl their way up to Manchester or Liverpool deserves the full 15 in my book, and Wolves, much closer is clearly a 10 pointer.

Note, still 600 tickets available for the Man City game.

ps) I say this as someone not going to Liverpool or Man City but is going to Wolves.

I was always led to believe that armed forces pensions were really good. Not the case?

This is obviously targeted at any OAPs who still think 50p is a huge amount. That is 10 Corona bottle deposits after all...

People seem to be confusing two entirely different metrics here. Disposable income and total individual wealth are entirely different things - especially if the wealth thing is almost 100% contained within an (essentially) non-dispoable asset such as the property that they live in.

Yes, I know that you can sell a property and then go and pay rent, and also sell a property and live in a much smaller property (with all the negatives that might come with that) but my basic point remians - disposable income and wealth contained within essentially non-dispoable assets are just two very different things, and should not be used for direct comparisons.

Quite and when I’ve paid my mortgage off I’ll own 25% of my ‘asset’ ..but unfortunately still be paying rent :(
