Wolf Island Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 This sounds great, if you are over 55 and retired. What about those under 55 and working though? Not eligible and couldn’t make the lunchtime slot anyway. Baby boomers coming out on top yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted July 28, 2019 Report Share Posted July 28, 2019 Not many can retire at 55 these days, so even if you are over that age you would most likely be at work at that time of day anyway. This seems a little outdated, much like the need for the group? But I guess if it makes people happy that’s good. Myself, well I hate being catagorised and grouped.

As you know RedM I retired on an NHS pension accrued over a 38 year career. I was Senior Nurse and received a substantial lump sum along with my half salary pension upon retirement . Had I been in a non governmental job without a pension I’d probably had to work until by OAP aged 66.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most senior Reds I would guess 55 is a distant memory! I guess you won't want a cheaper SC, pension, bus pass, and any other age related "perks" when you get to the age at which you will be "categorised & grouped"?

I meant voluntarily grouped, eg joining a senior Reds, whether I qualified their criteria or not. A fan is a fan and doesn’t need to be grouped.

Point being how many games must you watch to be a classed as a fan and for how long, or maybe you just have to buy a ST? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fan is a fan and doesn’t need to be grouped. Not sure I follow your logic. There are a multitude of social and sports groups to cater for the many and diverse interests that people have and accordingly choose to join, and many are defined by, amongst other criteria, age. Whether that be young or old. Anyway you may feel differently about the Senior Reds when you are a wrinkly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have friends and ex-colleagues who have retired at a similar age and ended up in Spain or whatever doing bugger all day and bored out of their skin, getting fat and pissed up. Or worse - a couple took up bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
