I was surprised when I went to the Stanley versus Gillingham match on 24th November that I had to pay the full £17 - I'm 63. I hadn't been for a while and seemed to remember that it was previously £13 with a concessionary rate of £10 for the over 60s. Anyway, it said in big letters "Over 65" so I was honest and paid the full rate. I think that any concessions should be matched to the current women's state retirement age - that's what happens for bus passes, winter fuel allowance, etc. Eventually it will all level out at 65 and then will begin to rise for everyone.
