This comes from a Cardiff fan, Cardiff the club who according to a mate of mine who visited Ninian Park a few years ago with the Albion, increased the away stand prices on their information board as the away fans were arriving!

I think Iran had plenty of problems with repressive regimes before the Islamic Revolution occurred.

This documentary on BBC4 last year was very good, you may want to watch it if you haven't seen it already. BBC Four - The Great Estate: The Rise Fall of the Council House

It's the something for nothing society we live in nowadays. I'm heading off this thread to lighten up, as I'm obviously being an absolute c**t to a fellow Albion fan who I have never met in my life before.

So you want someone like me who pays for a service to give you a benefit from the service I pay for?

So as a result of privatisation we have another level of management created that, in the days of British Rail was unnecessary? And privatisation is supposed to drive efficiency?

It can't have been difficult for them to be more efficient and cleaner when they have nearly four times more subsidy than when it was British Rail.

As much as I dislike the woman, the railway privatisation had nothing to do with her - it was John Major.

Are the standards of punctuality the same in Switzerland and the UK?

Interesting of the two TOCs than run on the London to Brighton line, the one that does not get a subsidy off the government is the one most roundly criticised on here for poor performance! This is on what is supposed to be a profitable rail line too. It just proves to me that even the...

I'm not sure how long ago the campaign was started but even at the 2006/07 prices which are mentioned in the article, they seem a bit low!

A market economy doesn't run the world, in the world we have a set of different types of economic systems that are linked via trade organisations and treaties. No I don't agree with you that these are all market economies, here are some explanations of the economies of the countries I have...

My intention was not to make out the regulators set the price of everything but was to show that even in our market based ecomony supply and demand is not "the basis of everything" as kingcole suggested. Germany, Sweden, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam are examples of economies that are not...

Germany, Sweden, China, Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam.

Yes they did and they shouldn't have put the individual match prices up in my opinion. The season ticket price was increased because of the travel levy and the same factor should be applied to the individual match prices too.

If you are reducing prices for home and away supporters by a certain percentage for certain matches then surely its unfair that you don't reduce season ticket prices for the said matches too?

How is the club you support going to reduce the price of your season ticket if the quality of the opposition (which is subjective) is lower then?
