Presumably the swivel-eyed right-wing loons who worship the infalibility of free markets,

even when they are clearly heavily distorted, will still be cheering on Stan Kronke when he elevates ticket prices to the highest possible level to accomodate the richest 58,000 Arsenal fans that are prepared to pay their money directly into his pocket.

Personally, I also blame our ex so-called 'custodians'. Kunts to a man. And woman.

He bought the controlling share of the club, which means he can do pretty much what he likes with what is, in effect, his property.

[Ashberto]

Doesn't make them any less repulsive, though.

[redgunamo]

Or buy more replica tat.

It's either one of those or Thursday night football, I'm afraid.

trousered, and there is no indication that he wil be stopping there.

Ticket prices went up as "Demand exceeds supply" which means that if he continues like this he intends to keep putting prices up until the waiting list is used up, and doesn't give a **** about who he drives out on the way.

about your decor, beer, food and prices, but as long as the money keeps coming in, you don't care.

Now say this pub is in a nice area, but still retains some salt-of-the-earth oikish clientele. What do you do? Keep the oiks happy by keeping prices low or aim for the higher-spending, more salubrious clientele in your area who offer you a much better chance of good margins?

The answer is clear, surely? And it's not repulsive, it's just business. :shrug:

[Ashberto]

The question was not answered. They couldn't come up with either an explantaion or even some semi-convincing bull****. They didn't even try to justify it.

[redgunamo]

ambitions were simply bigger than our pockets.

[Berni]

You can try and inject emotion and history into it as much as you like, but that's what it comes down to.

If your customer loyalty overcomes all other factors, you can pretty much do as you please to the poor saps. A bit like Apple do.

And I haven't been to a game for over a year. And haven't paid to go to one in donkey's years.

Chips Sir Chips makes a black and white definitive statement that Mr Arsene Wenger is the man solely in charge of football related matters at the club as he answers a question from a shareholder on a football related issue.

I have been on projects and in meetings with numerous 'consultants' over the years, the sums of money being paid to whom would make me weep.

The very same consultants I wouldn't have trusted to pour the mid morning coffees.

immediate self-gratification is not unequivocally the only good to be pursued.

Perhaps there are other things in life than the accumulation of capital.

[Berni]

changing the docking port or whatever and it doesn't stop fanboys like you from sleeping outside the f**king place to be the first to buy something. It's about the nearest thing to being a fan in 'normal' business.

He did not buy the club because he's a fan or as some sort of philanthropic exercise. Anyone who thought he did or is outraged that he's making money from his investment is being childish.

There's a reason the entire design industry uses the f**kers, b. It's that they are markedly better than their peers.

Until they too qualify for the European Cup every season and start signing fifty million pound players, then we can start the whole thing over again.

pictures of naked girls made you feel all funny in the tummy. I was using them when they were anything but trendy and they f**king nearly went bust after suing Microsoft. So don't tell me about the commercial end of Apple's business and how important it is to design, thank you very much*.

I am talking about their consumer products and the oddbods who'd buy a housebrick if you stencilled an Apple logo on it.
