PIC: Longford Town’s stewards have an ingenious way to test if you deserve a discount at the turnstiles

Eight-by-two

We all remember being snuck through a turnstile as a young lad under our father’s jacket.

It’s a part of growing up in Ireland that you try and scam your way to a match via the cheapest means possible.

And as you grow older and if you happen to have got a chance at third-level education, then you’re going to try and chance the ‘student’ turnstile as much as possible.

Even when you’re 30 and you failed first-year Arts in UCC.

But the clever guys manning the turnstiles in the City Calling Stadium, the home ground of Longford Town, have a cunning plan to rumble any possible non-students looking to dodge full price into the game.
