Have YOU Been Affected?? 19:47 - Feb 9 with 1185 views

Many senior and disabled Season Ticket holders have contacted RamsTrust to express their outrage at the increase in prices for those groups this year.

HAVE *YOU* BEEN AFFECTED?

The trust has been told that some seats have more than doubled in price and also many people are not getting the reduction at 60 that they expected. This has apparently affected more women as the new reductions come at *65* and yet most women are on a graduated retirement scheme. Currently women are retiring at between 61 and 62 (depending on when their birthday is) but the reduction in season tickets has gone up in one go from 60 to 65. These women are on a pension but don't receive a discounted rate which might be discriminatory.

Some disabled supporters have been told casually to 'swap to the E band' seats - not only would that mean they moved away from friends BUT *there are no wheelchair seats on E band*

Furthermore the stairways are concrete and have no rails. What goon thinks elderly or disabled people want to sit there?

It appears that those E band seats are cheap 'singing seats' for youngsters - do seniors REALLY want to sit there?

Furthermore, Sam Rush clearly said on Radio Derby that disabled supporters had been consulted. Yet not ONE of the disabled people who have contacted the trust has been consulted at all - and some are in the Disabled Supporters Association.

If YOU have been consulted (or not) or if your seat price has gone up then please tell us your experience on here or mail in to membership@ramstrust.org.uk

(You might like to join the trust as we campaign for disabled and senior rights)

Remember, we all hope to be senior supporters one day!

By the fans, for the fans
