Network card is great value , wimbledon to shanklin return £101without card,with card £68, including catamaran. Take 3 adults will save £33 quid each on just one return journey

I agree Nick 👍

Arguably senior railcards aren’t some sort of charity concession to hard up oldies- I think that the aim is to get people to travel when they wouldn’t otherwise do so if the ticket was charged at full price. As the trains are running anyway there is no marginal cost for an extra off peak traveller so any revenue generated increases profits (or, for trains, reduces losses). In my view we should offer our ticket concessions on the same basis (ie we should give them only if they serve to increase revenue because otherwise the seat wouldn’t be sold at all).

Train and hotel booked for Grim(sby) - only 3 possibilities, autos up for grabs, playoffs up for grabs, missing out but finishing with a flourish up for grabs… 🤪

The third-off Family and Friends Railcard has saved us thousands. It was only £70 for three years instead of £30pa too. The Greater Anglia Club (over)50s railcard is only £20 and gives 20% off on all their excellent advance off-peak trains.

Tomato - be careful mentioning “those who are generally on low income”, you’ll have a certain ambitious capitalist down on you like a ton of bricks for suggesting the unwaged should get any kind of concessions… 🤪

CW - I probably only do one or two trips a year, sometimes drive, sometimes the coach, but I do agree it’s great for regular travellers 👏

Won't need them RK 🤞🤞

Yes and don't take away bus passes because they are what keep most rural bus routes running to the benefit of far more than just OAPs. If the law says ULEZ signs were illegal then they were but I don't know where people think the repayments will come from other than out of the pockets of London residents. Nobody can make Boris or Kahn pay it themselves

... with no way of easily increasing that income

... and don't come back with the OAP rich argument

e.g. students and OAPs

It is value ... £27 per year .... 1/3 off ... so a profit if you pay more than £81 a year in train tickets. But surely the whole point of travel concessions is to allow those who are generally on low income to be able to leave their house and get around?

I use my railcard for home games and i save about £200 pa. That's just for footy, so really good value

80 quid for 3 years is actually remarkable value as train tickets as so expensive these days you only need a couple of away trips to make it worthwhile

OI, Reeves and Tilley took out swinging corners once each in first half, anyway Furlongs corner didn't make the near post it was almost just a pass to their defender

6M - I pretty much agree with you on everything there, except for “OAPs should be treated as a concession. They are everywhere else”, because I’ve just seen that a senior railcard is £80 (for 3 years), and as a rare rail traveller, that’s quite a lot… I’m doing the Grimsby game, and paying full price for the rail ticket because to pay another £80 on top (or even £35 for one year) would actually cost me more… 😬 I don’t really mind though, I’ve got a decent price ticket ☺️

Yes well done Noel Willcox taking on TFL and winning, all hail to the scaffolder

In other news. If you have had a ULEZ (not ULTRA-ULEZ) fine between 2016 and 17 June 2021, you can now claim a refund from TFL/(Khan), because a judge has ruled that the signs were unlawful and therefore the scheme was unlawful. So get writing. 🚗✒😁

Tartan army in tatters.

Before his spidey sense starts tingling and JG makes a reappearance to talk about a topic that clearly bugs him, I do not agree with penalising people with tickets (season or otherwise) that do not show up, be it at the time or retrospectively at renewal time. I'm not sure that would be legal anyway. The club need to do a cost-benefit analysis of the sale of tickets, broken down into different parts of the ground and discount types. Children's ticket prices are way too generous. Maybe instead of adding another discount for young adults because the ticket price jump is too steep we make it less steep by increasing children's ticket prices to something sensible like 50% of a full price. There are too many categories. OAPs should be treated as a concession. They are everywhere else so why should we be any different? Also, we need to remove all discounts from the premier west stand seats. That must cost a small fortune looking at who mostly sits there.

Why don’t we just oversell by 500 per match. Unreserved seating season tickets. First 9,000 get in that would sort it

If people aren't open to trying an easy fix to sell more tickets and increase revenue. .might as well.sell up before we go bust . Just look how many seats are empty ,some match after match, .

Said that yesterday Scottish womble ,John-joe would of been great seeing the game out,being a big chap would of helped .and he is the man to get us over the promotion line
