USG portent. Being ready for the rigours

163

The march of Jamestown Analytics continues with Union Saint-Gilloise remarkable win at Dutch champions PSV last night.  The Belgians led 0-3 until PSV scored a 90th minute consolation.  Dutch and Belgian football have now both been humbled by Tony Bloom’s system.  Change is in the wind for Scotland.

It hurts not being involved in the Champions League and I expect it will hurt more if Kairat go down meekly at Sporting on Thursday.  If the Kazakhs were able to put a few points on the table this season it would soften the blow of elimination.

The prospect of a Europa League game at Red Star one week from today is daunting enough.  I doubt we are ready for the rigours of a Champions League campaign.  I’m telling myself we need a season in the Europa to pick up some coefficient points.  Hmmm.

    So are you bored and fancy a wee part time job then? LOL.

     

     

    Seriously, few could be better at marketing or proposition than you in these challenging times.

     

     

    The only question I would ask is given their respective markets would you say that Celtic or Marks & Spencer‘s have been the more successful this past 25 years?

    What is your source for your claim rangers have sold 5000 tickets for Saturday’s game ?

     

     

    My understanding is over 35,000 have been sold. Expectations are nearer 40,000

  4. Prestonpans bhoys on

    I did a wee sample test for tickets at the bigotdome for the Hibs match. Tested Broomloan then Copland, each sample has at least 50% spare seats. Make of that what you want…

    My fellow CQNers, we may already be living in what will shortly be considered the good old days. ”

     

     

    I used to have a note on my classroom Board saying:

     

     

    ` These are the good old days. Just you wait and see.`
