Just sorted out the hotel for the West Ham home game and hadn't realised from April 1st there's a City Visitor Charge added to hotel prices in Manchester. Got a few trips before then but it wasn't mentioned at the time of booking.

At least it's for all visitors and not just City Tourist Fans. It will probably creep up over the years like Manhattan Tax and become a percentage rather than just a quid.


The City Visitor Charge is a supplementary £1 charge per room per night for guests, added to the final accommodation bill. The City Visitor Charge is applicable to all bookings with stay periods from 1 April 2023.

Anyone who is a mere snip of a 60 year old boy ,can only be classed an apprentice FOC.
Come back when you start collecting your state pension ( in 7 years time ?) and you will then be classed as a fully qualified FOC !!

7 for B4, just 2 for me (sneaked in the 66 class) but retired anyway, life’s too short to waste on working, did 47 years though, that was enough.

I did 47 years as well, 1972 -2019, I managed to retire from work 4 years ago at 62.5 years old.
I started work on £9 a week. The minimum hourly minimum wage is more than that now !!
And you try telling the youth of today that they've never had it so good.

As an apprentice FOC, who will not be deemed worthy of collecting the state pension for another 7 years, it makes you realise how passive we are in this country when it comes to protecting the working class. They're rioting in France against a government who want to take retirement age from 62 to 64 and fair fucks to them, mobilising millions of regular citizens, young and old, for the good of all.

Vive la France.

Very similar, 63.25 years old, wrapped last July, started on £17 and came out with £16 and 4p. I’d trade retirement for my youth being returned (just not this era we live in!).

The wife (65 at the end of May) said exactly the same to me last night. We managed to save enough in the last couple of years to cover her retirement from work in December last year.
The only protest regarding pensions in this country was by the WASPI women a few years ago,and that amounted to a few street protests and a few petitions to Parliament .
My wife is a big fan of Sharpe (Napoleonic era rifleman) ,but she now thinks he should have fought with The Imperial Guard,and fucked The South Essex regiment and 95th Rifles right off.
