To be fair - I think it is actually a good idea and the sort of thing that should be able to get a bit of support from wealthy folk who have disposable cash but can't justify an outright donation. I just don't get why the marketing plan makes it sound like a new pencil case for a five year old.

For all we know, we could be back playing in the Combined Counties at Tooting & Mitcham within the next 25 years.

Oh I don't know Kentish, I wasn't going to splash ten grand on a 25-year football ticket but now I've been spoken to like a child and watched a cheesy video I'm well up for it. Just got to find the cash down the back of the sofa.

Love the 'It’ll be the best investment you ever make…' line.

I still feel that we'll end up with another big push on PL Bonds. Better be quick before inflation and interest rates go up 🤨😎

The "what would you have seen if you had bought a 25YST in 1996?" line which we are using to flog the 25YSTs is a bit dumb - the answer is "the final 6 years of WFC, including a year when we got relegated and 2 dead years in the Championship, followed by losing your investment entirely when the club went into administration" - which is probably not really a great selling script. It might be better to say that if you had bought in 2002 you would have seen our rise from CCL to l1 and would still have 4 free years of watching us.

Might be time to go raiding the pension pots again, Gordon Brown style. Not sure why the young should have to carry the burden of basically protecting the elderly for the last 15 months for years to come.

Vladimir Putin shouldn't be in charge of the VAR

We are now at a fertility rate of 1.6, which means roughly that for every 100 people in this generation there will be 80 in the following generation and 64 in the one after that. Quite a steep decline in younger people entering the employment market. Europe as a whole is slightly lower. Fewer people may be good in many ways - environment, housing pressure - but it doesn't look like there is any need for official attempts to curb the population

Universal Credit will no longer pay you an additional amount for a third or subsequent child born on or after 6 April 2017 [Link]

I tend to agree that childcare shouldn't be extended to the very few families that decide to have dozens of children, but we do need to spawn - an ageing population is one of the most significant threats to the prosperity of those children.

we need to limit the population in UK. The child allowance should stop at 2 children. There are some families having 10 and claiming benefit for all of them. I believe that if you cannot afford kids stop at 2 and no extra benefits for over 2.

Another 25 year ST push I see.

Charlton are offering 1 free football ticket for people turning up this weekend for vaccine. Have we stopped using PL now

I chose not to have children to save my sanity tbh

I choose to have no children to help save the planet

46 new cases per 100k in sutton exactly the same as the week before,where is this delta variant with its 64% more spreading?

Odd

Surely only one F

Probably best if more people decided not to have kids

Jaffa

A what?

A Jaffa is a kiwi term Kenty

There's certainly a few childless wonders on here!

Most of Europe and parts of Asia like China & Japan are depopulating and have ageing populations that need healthcare and financial support (pensions). These countries will have to accept immigration from undeveloped countries or accept the realities of regrowth.
