Just pointing out the anomalies of the maths - especially when using Excel. Anyway, it provided a laugh for those who are really interested 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Using the actual figures (as pointed out), after the the 2.5% reduction, it adds up to 42.0015. Round up/down to hundredths, and it's 41.99. Absolutely my error not spotting that, and just reading the total given by Excel, but it shows the anomalies that can creep in. Glad everyone has had a laugh Fair play for taking it on the chin fella. Others would throw the toys out. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they could have it at Cardiff with the roof it would be on and as a much bigger stadium more people could go.

Cos it has not got the Glasgow promotion throwing stacks of money at it !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
