north wales jambo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Hello, my son who is 19yrs old is doing a teaching assistant job.. through a welsh government scheme apprenticeship.. I was just wondering if this allowed him to get a student ticket, he’s only on £3.80 an hour so obviously money is tight, I’ve offered to pay the train fare but he’d like to pay for his match ticket. I can see they do students but unsure about apprenticeships. Thanks for any replies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo Drifter Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I think if you're coming up from Wales to watch the Famous, the club should lay out the maroon carpet and throw the ticket in for free, tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biffa Bacon Posted Wednesday at 20:26 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:26 Most apprenticeships have some form of education attached in parallel with learning on the job. Which would qualify as student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tian447 Posted Wednesday at 20:48 Share Posted Wednesday at 20:48 Just a quick note about the student tickets: You'll have to show a valid ID at the ticket office before you can pick the tickets up. They don't, or at least they never used to, post them out until they've seen it at least once that season. Had to do it a good few times over the years! Unfortunately those days are over now so it's full price for me Just in case you do end up getting them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I hope Hearts actually do things like that from time to time. Would like to think the young man who was attacked in Motherwell might have bern treated to hospitality along with his mother.

As an aside, anyone paying £3.80 for graft should be in the jail, even if it is a govt sponsored apprenticeship. I started on £29 a week YTS in 1989 and left after a week, went back to school and attended night school for my English O Grade to get an office job. That was shit as well, but at least I could afford a couple of pints and to watch Hearts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just had a look at your trains from Warrington online. It seems weird that the journey time from Lancashire is only a bit more than mine once I've hit the East Coast Main Line at Darlington. Sod parking up anywhere though, I use buses and other trains so that I can have a drink, it's part of the day for me. My first bus for the Motherwell game is at 5.13 from my house, I'll hit Haymarket at 10.32 and I'll be first through the doors at Diggers.

Most posters on here celebrate that but clearly there's at least one who doesn't. There are many Clubs who should be taking a close look at Hearts and then they would see what can be achieved with the right approach and direction and most importantly, the connection with the fans. There is a unity that really translates to create a passionate force in our Stadium and a belief that we are a special Club in so many ways both on and off the field. Hearts, Hearts, Glorious Hearts!
