Obviously some women have retired, or I should say are receiving a state pension.  Perhaps clubs should base their concessions on proof of a bus pass or state pension.  Age is less important, as the pension age has changed/is changing depending on when you were born.


I remember being pelted with ice by the Norwich fans during the Milk Cup match, do you?

Isn't this sex discrimination, it should be both at 60 or both at 65 !


What does the Equality Act cover?

The Equality Act contains provisions making it unlawful to discriminate against a person based on their age (amongst other categories including, for example, sex, race, religion or belief or disability) in:

 Employment, training and education;

 Membership of associations and clubs (with some exceptions);

 Provision of goods and services.


So there may well be case.

Are we in danger of losing the plot here ?
What about "kids for a quid" ?
Are we gonna start calling that "Age discrimination" against adults ?
I do hope not.



Age discrimination does not apply to under 18s so clubs etc can offer cheaper prices to children.

Dont think so.

I thought matchday price for both are £18 & can get an early bird discount to £16 if bought before 1.30 on a Saturday matchday

In certain cases age discrimination is allowed such as free prescriptions for the over 60s or free bus passes for those over state retirement age.

Just thought I would mention just in case a load of you storm down to the council offices demanding your bus pass or give the chemist some grief.

Back to the original post, it's not age that the problem it is the difference between male and female in this case.

Match day prices for adults are the same whichever stand you go in including away fans and are £18.00 (early bird £16.00) with the exception of the Upper Findus which is £18.00 with no early bird price.

You're right - the club's either changed it (or I made it up, which is fairly likely)

What if you're an hermaphrodite?


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.
