Has the club not hit on this stat?? I know of at least one club(there may be more?) who offer a discount for the unemployed.Don't quote me but I think our neighbours up the road at Bury give a discount to those who produce their signing book at the turnstile- I think they get in for £5 ???

I'm out of work myself at the moment, this week has sorely stretched my budget, hence I went to the Posh game, missed the Oldham game,but will be there for the Grimsby game!! Simply couldn't afford to go to all three,as much as I would have loved to
