I think you have to appreciate the benifits of hospitality and cooperate sponsorship to clubs. Do you really think major sponsors invest hundreds of thousands into the club and don't expect benifits for their clients. Sometimes you need a basic understanding of finances to realise the importance of these dealings. In the West stand there are some major backers and they are very important to the club, we have multi nationals attending our games and they expect the best.
If the state pension became means tested, I can see people planning for retirement earlier and moving funds out of their name into the name of children ect. This would mean more pensioners could claim pension credit and have no assets for possible nursing home fees. Push too much and you will.get less and it will cost more.
I can see your point of view, but there needs to be allowances. I can never understand why in hospitality you have to close the blinds/curtains when the game is on or take a drink outside to the box. Or when I watch a Cymru Premier match as I sometimes do, I can't finish a halftime drink bought in the clubhouse outside.
Serious question here because I don't know the answer. How will the number of people coming from abroad legally/illegally affect the pension/benefits system long term.
When you started your profession you had an agreed pension, OK it has been tweaked slightly. Imagine if in next months budget you were told that you would need to work 5 years more for the full pension and there were no guaranteed annual increments.
Shall we not mention ladies like my wife who had her retirement age raised without enough time to sensibly reorganise her retirement including her government employee pension.
