The club still havnt announced childrens match day prices. There will be quite a few I expect watching BHA that will also come to Lewes when they can, BHA have a pricing structure for younger adults and I would like to see Lewes do likewise or at least make it an under 18 price not under 16, fix the price as reasonable and Im sure this would attract and increase attendances accross the season.

:DIt is stated on the Season Ticket application forms that Under 16s will again be admitted free to League games in the forthcoming season. Look out for this being highlighted on the official site shortly. For students with ID there is a £5 per league game admission charge or they can purchase Season Tickets for £90.

A 17 year old still at College would be classed as a Student so would pay a fiver.

How about adults who are in full time education?

My reading of the situation is that providing a student of any age has proof that he or she is in full time education then the £5 would apply. It's a community club, after all, aiming to appeal to all sections of the community and students come in all ages these days. I remember going to one ground in South London once where they insisted on making the official helper of a seriously handicapped and wheelchair-bound Lewes FC supporter pay full price to get in. The helper wasn't there to watch football, he was there to take care of the lad in the wheelchair. Can't ever see a situation like that arising at Lewes.

so open uni would count then by what you are saying, anyway so long as reasonable proof is supplied then that sounds like a solution. However I was asking at circumstances of 'child' under 16? 18? and some clubs tend price at u16 or u18 but if its u16 I was stating how unfair that is on say an u17 that is still in eduction so doesnt fit category working or even unemployed officially.

:DMethinks you are taking the piste now. Remember the Marx Bros - there is no sanity clause! Under 16s come in free. Anyone with proof they are in full-time education (contradiction in terms that!) will be admitted at the £5 concession rate. A brilliant deal for kids and a brilliant deal for students courtesy of Community Club Lewes FC. Hopefully end of story. Apart maybe from a comment from the amazing Foulksey!

I'm glad to see kids are still going to be free. I'm sure that policy more than pays for itself at the end of the day.

Yes it would be nice to know who will profit from this sell-off. Not "owners" apparently.

It will pay dividends if we can get the players to visit the local schools. The kids will want to go to matches and their parents will have to accompany them. Then the parents will realise what they have been missing all their lives - and up go the gate receipts.

:DLet's hope it happens. I'm sure Kingy will encourage this.
