wealdstone 3,454 Posted January 17, 2018 Slightly off the main subject but some years ago my brother and I "press ganged" our late mother to come with us to see our team Brentford then in Division 3 or 4. She came but showed total disinterest and sat on the terraces reading a book. Just before half time she suddenly looked up and said" which team is Arsenal?" 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wealthy OAP's no longer use such establishments, they get their staff to purchase the books while running errands in the town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We already have a lot of over 65’s who pay for a full price ticket as they can afford it and know the club is losing money. We’re extremely grateful to our fans, they understand the situation at the club and have the club’s best interest at heart.” Names please?.............lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
