Match receipts accounted for about a third of our total revenue in the last set of accounts. Covered about half the total wage bill.

I don’t think we should try and pretend that any ticket pricing strategy is going to magically make the economics of running a competitive Championship football club make sense or be any way sustainable.

Musk has gone particularly bonkers this week. Ranting about Lord of the Rings and predicting “inevitable” civil war in the UK. What is it with all the people who don’t even live here getting so hysterical about the situation?

The White House order specifically says “the admissions numbers shall primarily be allocated among Afrikaners from South Africa, and other victims of illegal or unjust discrimination in their respective homelands”. So it appears that white South African people have earned a special carveout here.

Why does he have the option of going quietly or loudly?!

He’s becoming a bit of a Forrest Gump figure this guy. Bumbling his way from headline to headline. I understand the urge to chuck him £500 to make the problem go away once and for all, but I’m not sure how or why there was even a negotiation here?

The odds of us going up automatically are currently much higher than they would be for winning a playoff run. You’d be mad to pass it up, our odds are better than a coin flip right now!

For shame!

We could do with the cash, and more away fans tend to improve the atmosphere anyway.

Sounds like Lampard was right to have Obikwu where he did in the pecking order of strikers in pre-season. Hope he gets some more game time at Lincoln.

90+ reportedly killed overnight. Israel says the ceasefire will resume today, but Trump says Israel reserves the right to “hit back” if needed.

Pretty astonishing line to take on people getting deported without due process imo. Everyone agrees that arrival numbers and enforcement need fixing, but if the solution involves blatant miscarriages of justice then it’s not for me.

“Certain methods aside” is doing some heavy lifting here! I’ve said elsewhere, I don’t think the public appetite for an ICE-style mass deportation scheme is very strong, and that’s before we get into whether it’s logistically feasible or cost-effective.

I had a look the other day at whether teams with a GD equal to or higher than ours tended to get promoted. Unfortunately there weren’t many teams with a goal difference that high until New Year’s Day. But they did all end up getting promoted.

An extended debate on Poland’s welfare spending-to-GDP ratio is exactly what this thread should be about, keep it up.

This board has been on tenterhooks waiting for a breakthrough on July’s ceasefire agreement between Thailand and Cambodia - great stuff, no wonder Trump’s detractors have been quiet.

The OECD has a dataset of average wages converted into dollars and adjusted for PPP which puts the UK a smidge above the OECD average, still comfortably behind many Western European/Scandinavian/North American countries. https://www.oecd.org/en/data/indicators/average-annual-wages.html

Fictionalised versions of histories are literally as old as time, it’s frankly bizarre that people are pretending that TV dramas or adverts have any obligation other than to entertain us and sell things to us.

Yes!
