a)why do students get discount? Reasons being are they have enough to pee up the wall so should pay the same as adults. Younger kids don't pay anyway as it's the bank of mum and dad so they should pay too. At the end of the day they use the same facilities as me and sometimes could play instead of me so why should it be cheaper!
If kids paid the same rate as adults, then the bank of mum and dad might not be so keen on them playing, and we'd get less kids involved. As for students at uni, I don't think they should have a kids rate, but the adult rate may be a little too much at some clubs (even the sensible ones that don't drink all their student loan away struggle sometimes) That's why we have a kids (£6), students (£8) and adults (£11) rate.
We scrapped the unemployed rate, which was the same as the students rate. We decided as a club, if you're unemployed, what money you do have should be spent on providing for yourself/family rather than playing cricket. That and we had a couple of people who don't have a job, but earn prize money from playing poker/gambling trying to take the mick and say they were unemployed when we all knew full well that they earnt a decent wage
