Yep. And in any case, it's pretty irrelevant, coz no one should expect a post on a forum to hit the high standards of a press release/advertising copy, etc. Also, the point of the post wasn't to take the Brine out of a typo per se, it was to share the amusing notion that the club was already selling tickets for League 2. I now regret making the joke, coz a, it wasn't that good, anyway, and b, this has turned into an English class. I thought it was rather good. That's coz you're a grammar nazi.

Dont they have a point. If you are a full time student over 21 than why are you different to a 19 year old Which begs the question why give discount at all ? All that says to me is that full paying supporters are subsidising other supporters Yeah f the pensioners too. I shall be telling my old man i am subsidising him he should be grateful for full paying folk like his no 1 son :-):-)

"Typos" shouldn't have an apostrophe. Are we sure? Isn't 'typo' a contraction of 'typographical error'? It is indeed, but it seems unlikely that he used the apostrophe because of this.

Strikes me you were trying to criticise the club again. The Conference is a League, as is the Premiership or Championship. Still the other forum has gone into overdrive moaning because students over 21 can't get cheap season tickets, so your moan is relatively low-key. My ST will only be £125 - some advantages being an old git! Dont they have a point. If you are a full time student over 21 than why are you different to a 19 year old Because a 19 year old is following the conventional journey through to a degree and gainful employment. In my experience older students are work shy free loaders who generally drop out of courses or end up with useless qualifications like media studies or 12th century philosophy.

If I did have time I would probably go for a high brow left wing option to flaunt my intellectual superiority over others. PS. Camilla cut the brake hose.

How about a student whose taken a gap year out, that's pretty conventional these days, as is a 4 years sandwich course and even a masters degree, not forgetting medical & veterinary degree courses which last more than 3 years. It does seem odd timing that when we are supposed to entering into a partnership with the UWE,assuming it's not just an oversight, is this a clear sign the stadium project is now dead?

I'm sure senior citizen Gasheads paid full price up to the age of 65 and did not complain about it.
Most 65+ Gasheads have been supporting BTFC for many years.

Shouldn't we be trying to encourage fans of the future? I Think we should be trying to fill the ground every week. If that means reducing prices for full time students who are over 21, great. BTFC? Bank of Toni (the till) Football Club?

What age do you stop being a "fan of the future" and just a fan, 30 at this rate?
We hardly a cash rich club to start talking nonsense about BTFC.

I'm saying you might have used an apostrophe to indicate that "typos" was a plural because you didn't understand apostrophes. I was incorrect because you clearly do, don't really understand why we're still talking about it.
