Several have but as long as we stay in the top 17 who do then we probably remain in the PL. But nothing lasts forever and be nice to go to away games again one day without tourists taking tickets so every cloud…

Read somewhere that it’s restricted to one team in any division (apparently Ipswich were using it but were binned off when they got promoted)

I assume big clubs would pay more for the secret sauce. So what's the plan here?

Does that happen really? I'm no super fan, but manage to get tickets to most of the away games I want to go to.

I have a soft spot for Grimsby Town. After we played them in the cup a few years ago I had a good chat with some of their fans whilst waiting in the bus queue.
Good down to earth 'real fans' who were very respectful of the way Brighton had come back from the brink to reach the Premier League. Very aware of our backstory. Good luck to them.

I would imagine that he doesn't hand over the algorithms. I would imagine he provides the output according to their requirements.

If you read the full article it's clear the club get the output of the data but don't get the algorithms or any methodology.

"Worth a mongers" is the terminology, I believe.

From what I’ve heard, even the employees at Star Lizard only work on their own pieces of the puzzle and can’t put them together.
