I work in a call centre EB and there's probably a 50/50 spit between us older folk who either have no trouble with technology and those who are terrified when I ask something like "what browser are you using". I think the phone line for older folk who need it is a good idea although quite how they would limit it just to them I'm not certain.@Alex - City Matters as an over 65 please may I ask what the proposed phone line for over 65s is for? If it is because someone thinks we can’t handle the technology I would feel patronised. If it is to counter long queues I would feel that wasn’t fair to every other group. We are all City fans one has to queue we all have to queue. Again patronising to over 65s.
We may be getting older but we are still in the human race.
As I tell everyone when I see photos of John Boy in Gucci *faints dead away* I may be old but I ain’t dead yet.
In other words please treat us as everyone else is treated, apart from letting us have a reduced price SC because we really couldn’t afford a full price one no matter what a lot of people think. :-)
JMHO as an Over 65, a SC holder, an OSC member, a disabled member and a woman. Wow I’m well represented aren’t I ? :-)
I understand where you’re coming from @Centurions and my thought was also how do they limit or monitor phone lines. It’s a strange one because yes I know some older people don’t have all the technical know how and some do but being an older person who doesn’t like admitting I’m old I hate feeling patronised! I’m strange I know and my kids are always telling me I’m too sensitive about it.I work in a call centre EB and there's probably a 50/50 spit between us older folk who either have no trouble with technology and those who are terrified when I ask something like "what browser are you using".

They certainly shared it with us when I was on the Ticketing sub-group. I don't see why they need to share it wider than that. Some of the figures for no-shows were jaw-dropping.I’d be interested in the “Club” publishing which games have not sold out
And detailing how many tickets remained unsold
And also reporting how many sold tickets all criteria were actually scanned for each game
That way we can all see how big a issue we have regarding no show no transfers etc
They must have this data and surely used such analysis in the business case for going ahead with the North Stand expansion
I’ll pass this onto Michael Ash, who’s the Over 65s representative, as it was his suggestion I believe and he is closer to the detail. Let me get back to you.@Alex - City Matters as an over 65 please may I ask what the proposed phone line for over 65s is for?

So it looks like another small raise next season and then I guess there might be a price review as they try and shift tickets for the new North Stand.
