Concessionary Football Tickets for OVER 60s

[trastevere]

More and more concessions are granted nowadays to OVER 60s. Free prescriptions, free bus travel , free swimming, free college courses, winter fuel allance,concessionary admission prices to English Heritage/National Trust, several rugby and football club match tickets, cinemas and much more.
I want to compile a list of football clubs, particularly Premiership and Championship who have already gone down this route. Thanks in advance for your replies.

They all wave web sites. If they offer concessions the information will be there.

Thanks for your advice Rollo. However, these details apply to the current 2008/9 season and they have not set prices yet for 2009/10. I do know that several clubs are considering reducing the concessionary age from 65 to 60. From experience I have found that ABers like to help where they can, and I'm a firm believer in reciprocation.

and they have not set prices yet for 2009/10.

if they have not set prices how can people give you prices ?

Tell me who you want to watch in the premiership and championship and I'll give you their details on concessions - whether its 60 or 65.

I have been a season ticket holder and followed a premiership club for more years than I care to remember. The way things are at present it looks as if , for the first time in over thirty years, I won't be able to afford to renew. A lot of the clubs do not state 60+ or 65+ on their webpages. They just put senior citizen. Where they don't give an age I assume its 65+ .It would seem that ALL Premiership clubs have a 65+ policy but so far, I have found many clubs in the Championship and lower divisions which have adopted 60+ as the benchmark for senior citizen. My list is by no means complete - I am continuing to add to it. So far I have got Preston NE, Sheffield Utd., Leicester, Peterborough, Barnsley, Ipswich, Port Vale, Blackpool, Cambridge, Charlton, Walsall, Leeds, Mansfield, Notts Forest, Huddersfield, QPR, Bury (63+), Aldershot, Brentford, Barnet, Darlington, Lincoln, Macclesfield, Notts County, Rotherham, Tranmere, Crewe, Cambridge and there are more which I hope to find in due course. My reason for compiling this information is so I can lobby the club in the very slight hope that they introduce the 60+ ruling. Afterall, they introduced a youth policy this season whereby schoolboys get in for a fiver (�99 season ticket) By the way, I'm 62.
