this student thing is ****ing me off. an under 18 ticket is a schoolboy ticket.normally students mean people in college,i.e over 18.they have forgotten us yet again, some1 needs to get on to dolan/lennox about this.
i know some people like myself come home from scumlin for d home games,not only do we get shaffted up d hole for 40euro train prices but then have to pay 10euro for entry to d cross sometimes for half a game coz of iarann rod eireann delays.
The train costs me €51.50 and my tax pays for your train fare as well. Why don't you get some of your buddies to march on the Dail and block up traffic again?Quote:

You'll get no sympathy here mate.
I went to college in Dublin so I'm well placed to ignore your winge.
Yeah students don't get thier own drinks price list in pubs in town & I never hear them complain...
do they want every fcuking thing at cut price
we work hard all week for our money
y the fcuk should ye get discounts
I remember a lad from Athy telling me you could get into Terryland for the same price as an OAP if you had a dole card!:D
I think the student reduction would be worth a look at and kept on if successful.
The bigger the crowd, the better for the club.
The one thing bad about Kildare County matches are people getting in at half time for free:eek:
With such a big student population in Cork it would be stupid not to try to exploit it more. Student discounts and advertising in de colleges would be a start. But student discounts would need to guarantee more people thru de turnstiles for it to be worthwhile - hence de advertising.
Hmm, How to attract more students - your thoughts please ...
this has been around before. the club should be trying to get students in, we have a huge student population in Cork and offering a student rate is a good way to attract them.
what's better to the club, one hundred students coming in at seven euro a head or thirty coming in at ten euro? the club should be working much harder at attracting college students (many of whom come from areas where there are no EL clubs, therefore, we could be winning new fans to city).
and by the way....:mad: , i'm not a student any more, but i wasn't a sponge when i was, tax money might have helped me out, but i've more than repaid it in my taxes since and so will the vast majority 'sponging' now.
:( FCUK THE STUDENTS:(
WHAT MAKES THEM SO SPECIAL
Y SHOULD THEY GET A DISCOUNT AND THE PEOPLE THAT WORK HARD ALL THE WEEK TO GET A FEW EUROS GET CHARGED MORE
I dunno .... the situation for students is getting worse these days. The whole fess thing is still looming and the grant is alot less now and even harder to avail of.
There will always be for and against but lads, not all students are out on the town every night of the week, spending it all on beer.
Every other club in the country are giving a student rate. And it is better to get the students money and get another body in the door of the cross than to lose their custom altogether.
They might not pay full whack now but when they finish college you like to see them returning to the cross, paying full whack along with the next lot of students.
Giving student rates, for the club, is a really good fanbase building exercise.
Lads the club has student ticket's you can get them in the hshoe or at the ground. I see one or too get them last year.
So lads city do have them. So to all students you can get them. But they do not do the season ticket for the students.
ian,
would ye be able to get my student ticket in the horshoe next season
im sure u will get away with it,with that cute baby-face of yours
Didn't you use a student card to get a discount even after you finished college?Quote:

Anyway, it's been a long time, but I do remember getting in for student prices when I was in college.
Because it's a way of getting young supporters in the gate and these will stay with you for years afterwards.Quote:

because they don't work all week and therefore don't have as much money (or do you want me to use your argument to highlight the fact that kids and OAPs don't work all week either).Quote:

A Face and Liamon are spot on, offer a discount (the club have to be consistent and advertise it too Ian), get the students in the door for seven euros, get them hooked and then when they leave college and get their big jobs, they'll keep coming back (and bring their tenners with them, after their hard weeks work;) )
Ian already said that dirty rotten student bastad tickets are available so end of discussion.
Next you'll be looking for student discounts on the match day magazine and the chips and stuff.
Before we know it students will be claiming that they should be allowed to sing and chant less on account of their discount.
Where will it all end?
Think we need Tony Blair in here to sort this mess out.
Bullshet. The grant, dont make me effing laugh. Now hands up, how amny students moaning about this actually go to college outside Cork? AND, how many of u students money grabbing whinging morons actually have part time jobs? Very few Id hazard. I went to college in Limk for a while, kept myself going by working saturday and sunday at home and DJing around a few pubs n clubs during the week. I did ok, because i worked for my money. Okay, i didnt do very well in college, but that had nada to do with me having a job, just the fact i was feckless when it came to study.Quote:

Im also sure that most of these student whingers are the same muppets who will moan and bitch about people "not supporting the club" by not singing. Well by being a cheapskate moaning about lack of discoounts, you not really "supporting the club" there either are you.
Thing is again with the grant. While in col in limk, when it came to grant day, what was the money spent on? essentials like food/clothes/rent. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, it was all into town to buy CDs and stock up on drink and fags. Makes me sick.
And i know the ironing of all this, seeing as i havent paid full price to a single eL ground all yr ;)
We dont have a student price. Live with it. I dont see you prising Lennox for the fact we also have the cheapest entry price in the entire prem div!
There is no student price. They had it for a few games at the start of last season and it disappeared. Depending on who you asked it was possible to get a 5€ ticket if you showed a student card. Simple fact of the matter is student expect discounts and if we offered one it would encourage more students to come to the cross. Never mind all the cranky gits who are just jealous of our lifestyle cos they have to work :)
this is all we are short..a load of fcuking crusty's in the h'shoe before a game talking about their exams and complaining y their pint costs more than 2.50
we dont need these kind of fans
since when are students crustys? and in case you haven't noticed we need all the fans we can get until the cross is a sellout for every game.Quote:

we can talk about fans who don't sing, are 'sunshine' supporters and all the rest, but the fact remains that the club will do better the more people we get through the turnstiles. we need as many kinds of fans. through the gates as we can get. There are already a lot of students who come to the cross and pay full whack, are you and Gary including them in your sweeping generalisations and stereotypes?
it's simple.......
Number of college students in Cork............20,000+
Effort city is making to attract them.............0
If city got 1% of those students into the ground at 7euro each, it'd pay georgie's wages for the week. would the club be worse off for having them there..don't be daft.
these students have no interest in city
if they had, they would have been here along time ago
wouldnt like them coming along so they can avail of another discount
their money shouldnt be worth more than ours
