when someone enters the stadium on a oap,junior ticket the light does blink and let steward know that they should be checking to see if they are the right age and all,but all so the system on the gates are all connected to the main computer so the bosses know what gates where activated by someone that shouldent off,last year the lads on the gates were letting people get away with it.but what you dont understand is that this year (well towards the end of the season)they have been told to stop or they will be loseing their jobs. so next time you do this and tell a stewerd come on mate ive been comeing to city for 30 years.just remember you are putting them in a really shit position asking them to pick their job over letting you in all because you would not upgrade .plus their are two guys i know on the gates that have been doing their job for 35/40 years and have started takeing so much shit of people because this.
all i can say is that if people continue to try and get away with this the next step the club will take will be to ban the person who owns the card for a full season.so dont give anyone your card unless they are willing to upgrade
.all upgrades can be done on the day of the game at the ticket office and takes no longer than 5-10 mins
its up to you to pick watch the game 20 quid or save for beer tokens
