But people who are committing to at least 23 games a year will buy season tickets. So we are talking about people that go a handful of times a year. Its the same for everything. You can pick pretty much any artist and there will be people that go to 20+ shows of theirs a year, there's people...

This is the issue basically. Some people believe football tickets are no different to other forms of live entertainment and therefore the person setting the prices is correct to be looking to maximise revenue. Other people believe football is different and shouldn't be subject to market forces...

I've got no chance. Its a race to get to from work to evening games in time for kick off, although this is a later kick off. No chance of getting there before these all go.

One of the problems with flags being put up everywhere is that the people who did it seem to have lost interest. There's zero maintenance taking place so we're now left with increasingly dirty flags that are barely hanging on with one remaining cable tie. If people want more flags displayed...

If only I had that much influence, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in now and would be living in a utopia ;) The problem is the MSM doesn't want him to fade into the background. Just look at how many times he shows up on Question Time for example. Interestingly around the time of their...

I of course realise he's not the PM, as for no power I'm not so sure. He's very useful for the people backing him and certainly has influence and a media profile far above the level he should have given his track record.

That doesn't answer the question. If you push more people out of the profession how is the service going to improve. What are you expecting a front line worker to do that will resolve the issues you've highlighted? Sure we'd all love a stunningly efficient NHS but I'm not sure how pushing...

Not much to disagree with here. The amazing thing about Farage is that he fooled so many with Brexit and is now repeating exactly the same playbook with the ECHR and people are falling for it again. He's not even bothered to change the script. We had years of him telling anyone who would listen...

Interesting that Reform are off the chart in the polls but are not only failing to make significant gains when it comes time to vote, they're also losing where they are the incumbent. Super Thursday saw predictions as high as Reform gaining10 seats but they ended up with 1 and now they've lost...

How will withholding pay rises from front line staff, and therefore encouraging them to leave the NHS in greater numbers, improve such issues?

There's a huge difference between looking at individual services and how they can be improved and taking a finger in the air figure and using that to determine if people should get even an inflationary pay rise. Besides, many people bang on about improving efficiency while happily ignoring the...

You've answered your own question there, and your answer is very much in line with my experience personally and what I have encountered with my Dad. A huge over-reliance on transient agency staff and nobody taking overall charge of an individuals health. Starts at GP level. My surgery has 10+...

The noise around public sector productivity is just nonsense, plain and simple. Its being used as a stick to beat down workers asking for a pay rise when even the people who produce the figures will happily tell you its a meaningless stat and there's no effective way of measuring public sector...

How many more pages are we going to have over whether a handful of tickets were sold or not?

exactly this. how anyone can look at something like the care system we have in this country, or even to people in the US going bankrupt because they needed a trip to hospital, and think that's a good idea let do that is beyond me

Doesn’t need to change a thing, everything is going great. The people that kept telling us he was a political genius have gone quiet

Wow, what a punishment

Meant to post earlier, looks like the BBC are going to have an Ashes highlight show available on iplayer. Not been said yet if its just the TNT highlights show or host broadcaster. Can't imagine they're sending a team to Aus for it given TNT are running comms from London.

What a game, I've done fuck all work this afternoon :ROFLMAO: Aussies dropped way to many catches to win a semi final
