Numbers going to the UK to watch Soccer matches

King for a day · 2008-12-03 10:24:21

Have the numbers of Irish people travelling over to the UK to watch English and Scottish soccer matches increased / decreased in the last few years. It would be interesting to get some statistics on this. In the current Economic climate, I suppose that its safe to assume that the numbers are down a good bit.

Nah you don't wanna post that in the soccer forum. It'll only start a 10 page rant from somebody.

Never any problem filling Anfield, as Liverpool has always been in a permanent economic recession.

I think you'll find that for the most part, entertainment and related services, including those related to sport, are usually the last to be effected retail wise in an economic downturn/recession/stephen.

Would the correct term for a permanent economic recession not be a depression?

Probably not even that because both terms would suggest an eventual end to the condition.
