Again, why are you bringing up unemployment ?

Then he answers himself.

Dev
(unemployment) is one of the factors that is used when deciding whether we are in recession but it is not the only or main factor

Who said it was? Can this thick bastard simply not read or does he have to read everything and interpret it in his own ****ed up manner.

In regards to the Recession

You said it had little or no affect on attendences, so please continue to stick by that frankly ridiculous assertion

My actual quote

Simply put attendances are down because Rangers are not in the SPL

You said peoples wages have frozen. Have Savco tickets risen dramatically? I’m still waiting for an answer.

So Medro's argument is that attendances are down because Rangers are dead but attendances are up despite the recession?

Please tell me I've got the wrong end of the stick here <laugh>

Savco attendances have been rising throughout the recession until that is Rangers were booted out of the league.

A coincidence?

St your primary account has a higher post per day number than me. So what does that say?

No answer again no doubt.

Russ you said you weren't going to bother with this argument anymore???

Beelin'
 

So 2008. And attendances for seasons 2007-2008 or 2008/2009 (whichever - you choose) would represent start of recession - yes? So we've seen a decrease from either 1,067,449 or 1,095,740 (again - your choice) to 967,182. So either way a drop of >100,000.

I'm not sure if you are reading this properly. 866,061 - 930,395 - 967,182 is NOT a decrease.

Who said it was? I said there'd been a drop of since the start of the recession. As you yourself have just said - 2009-10 is NOT the start of the recession.

How much are this seasons CL ticket prices compared to last seasons Europa ticket prices?

My CL tickets were £35 a pop. Last season it was £26 a ticket for europa league. Obviously season ticket holders pay a few £ less.

Unsurprisingly, it's more to see Barca than Rennes. <laugh>


You said peoples wages have frozen. Have Savco tickets risen dramatically?

Know this wasn't aimed at me but I'll answer (and I'll assume Savco (wtf?) are Celtic). Yes, season tickets and match day tickets have gone up this year. (roughly 5% for season books - depends on where you sit). There hadn't been an increase for 3 years previously.
 
The 2009/10 blip is due to 4 or 5 games where we had uber-****e attendances of about 24,000 (the end of Mowbray days).

Otherwise - thanks for proving my point. You've shown very clearly that there was a decrease of ~128,000 paying customers per season (~7,000 per game) when comparing 2008 to 2012 ie the recession- WHEN RANGERS WERE WINNING THE LEAGUE.

Fixed it for you.

I am a little surprised at this thread.

Dev, you're a bigger knob end than I ever thought you could be.

It's tickled me a little this has...

FAIL. You were neither winning the league at the start (2008) nor end (2012) of the recession.

I almost feel sorry for you - you keep making such a knob of yourself.
 
Savco's attendances are up because Charles Green is giving away tickets and lying about the numbers attending ibrox

How can Charles Green give away tickets for your team?

So 2008. And attendances for seasons 2007-2008 or 2008/2009 (whichever - you choose) would represent start of recession - yes? So we've seen a decrease from either 1,067,449 or 1,095,740 (again - your choice) to 967,182. So either way a drop of >100,000..

Look we can both see the huge drop from 1,095,740 1 season to 866,061 the next, but you must also see the rise each year after that. So would that not suggest that ticket sales are increasing each year DESPITE the recession?

Who said it was? I said there'd been a drop of since the start of the recession. As you yourself have just said - 2009-10 is NOT the start of the recession. .

See above you are failing to take into account the recession years.

My CL tickets were £35 a pop. Last season it was £26 a ticket for europa league. Obviously season ticket holders pay a few £ less.

Unsurprisingly, it's more to see Barca than Rennes. <laugh>.

About a £20/£25 difference I've heard from CL tickets books to Europa ticket books last year. Would that extra £20 be the reason for falling attendances? Na I think not.

Know this wasn't aimed at me but I'll answer (and I'll assume Savco (wtf?) are Celtic). Yes, season tickets and match day tickets have gone up this year. (roughly 5% for season books - depends on where you sit). There hadn't been an increase for 3 years previously.

So how much did they go up if it has obviously had a huge impact on your attendances?

"Simply put attendances are down because Rangers are not in the SPL"

Any explanation?

No, I thought not.

Have a wild guess. But before you do go back and start reading from page 1 ya thick bastard.

No I don't want to guess again, I want you to tell me what you mean so i'll make it easy for you.

Is it:

A: Attendances are down SOLELY because Rangers are in SFL, there are no other reasons

B: Attendances are down for a variety of reasons, but Rangers being in the SFL is the MAIN reason

C: Attendances are down for a variety of reasons, but the Recession has had NO impact whatsover

D: Attendances are down for a variety of reasons, but the Recession has had only a minor impact

Simple, A,B,C,or D?
