Would make a change from us being raided by Aberdeen!

Here's a different analogy. If you go to the cinema, you pay the same ticket price regardless of the budget of the film in question. Often, low budget films are better than the huge budget ones with big name stars and special effects. Our previous 2 seasons in the 2nd flight were right up there with the most enjoyable seasons in our history. How many of our ST holders would have wanted to miss out on that for the sake of an extra couple of quid per game?

This says more about you than it says about any economic theory!
-
You'll have noted that we didn't repeat those cheap deals this season, presumably because they just result in lower income. County offered free admission to one game and didn't remotely fill the ground, further proof of price inelasticity.
-
Under Butcher and Hughes it certainly wasn't an inferior product to our previous stint in the top flight, quite the opposite, but crowds were still lower. Other factors must be having an effect.
-
Football tickets and season tickets are actually price inelastic, like cigarettes - enough of the hardcore fans/addicts will keep paying more to outweigh the impact of ones who don't.

Well said. I hope Don realised that the critics were a very small minority. I'm sure I don't just speak for myself when I say I have enjoyed the vast improvements in club media in recent years and should have expressed some appreciation of the volunteers who made it all happen.

There's a huge difference between the two, in that Foran didn't want to be removed from his role....
-
Jamie McCart was in the Scotland U20 team that beat Brazil (Brazil!!!) at the Toulon Tournament yesterday.
-
Bobby had previously played (very well) against us for Forfar, which no doubt contributed to our decision to buy him.
-
Anier, Vigurs and Cole? Ok I'll try again - Warren, Draper, Tremarco.
-
The other legends from that season, not present, were Brown, Golabek, Tokely, Duncan and McBain. Charlie only made 3 starts + 3 off the bench
-
Are they having a get together to watch the big final this evening (Britains Got Talent)?!
-
Always enjoyed the tweets, there have been some memorable one-liners. Any particular reason given for the resignation?
-
Wow, it turned out just as Rasczak predicted earlier in this thread!
-
Group winners and best 4 of the 8 runners up go through. Fixture dates and TV coverage announced next week.
-
Aye, with Henrik Larson as assistant.
-
He's achieved far more as a manager than Paul Sheerin. And knows the Championship. And knows how to beat County.
-
My understanding is that club directors, and the team manager, just have to sign a form confirming that they are a "fit and proper" person under the SFA's articles. It is accepted at face value unless the SFA have information to the contrary and ask for further evidence. It is clearly not a difficult hurdle to overcome!
-
Well spotted. A very curious turn of events.
-
Well, the manager will be a better one than Foran and the players will all make more effort than Anier. That's a start!
-
Agreed, but it was always an odd, risky signing. What he can take from this though, is that just a couple of weeks after playing amateur football he was playing at Celtic Park (just don't mention the score....)
-
At the end of the day, the prices are set at a level the club thinks will maximise revenue. If they lowered the prices and it reduced our overall income by (say) £50,000, that sum would just get knocked off our wage budget for the season, it's as simple as that unfortunately.
-
The other statement!
-
Our final team sheet of the season spelt 3 of them wrong! Vugurs wasn't happy!
