You should have been taught it in school, at primary school level. The government should be concerned about literacy.

The fact that a lot of people don't know the difference between their and there, it's and its, your and you're and seem to think that "were" is some magical ubiquitous word that means "we will" and "we are", despite the fact there is no such word as "were" pronounced "we-yur", is pretty worrying. Oh and that "lose" is spelled "loose" :facepalm:

e.g; "your wrong its there penalty. were loose"

The schools system in this country really is a joke. The majority of the next generation are utter spanners that will inevitably end up changing our official language to "txt speek" and our national anthem to something by f***ing "Flo Rida"

What's this thread about again? Where am I?

The debate about grammar is more interesting than Rory's ramblings.

Why does that concern you? Bigger things in the world to worry about; we weren't even taught it in school and so it can't be high up on the list of government priorities.

In other words, you missed that lesson - or weren't paying attention ;) :D

Hell, I missed loads that were taught when I was at school too, doesn't mean it wasn't taught.... :D

Well we weren't, not even at secondary level. I remember in one year ten class (Age 14) a TOP SET English class asking the teacher between effect and affect. No-one knew in the whole of the top set of a decent school. The teachers explanation was hardly convincing either - I doubt he knew the different himself. Take from that what you will, maybe it was taught in primary education in your day, but in modern day it is of no concern to teachers. We are taught to pass exams, knowing a poem or forumla off by heart is much more important than knowing the ins and outs of 'effect' vs. 'affect' (according to the teachers).

Pure ecomomics - supply and demand. If the supply is fixed the demand and perceived value will always increase, now the Club cannot seem to sell out complete sections of the groud in past games. At present the Club's website news article about 'pushing attendances' does look rather pathectic imho.

Supply and demand? Ok, so if the demand for 25,000 seats is there what is wrong with expanding to > 22,500 seats? TBH reading your whole post it makes no sense, 'if supply is fixed the demand will always increase', wrong, maybe you meant prices will increase but if 25,000 people are willing to shell out £30 surely that's better than 22,500 people paying £30.
