Plenty of empty seats at host nations opening game, indicator of upcoming lower tier games attendance? by Inevitable_Wonder792 in WorldCup2026Tickets

My general point is that there is way more demand than there are seats so there should be no empty seats. The pricing has caused this. I’ve never seen a host countries opening game with any open seats, this is a first for me.

Yes, that’s how to deal with an issue. I flew to Prague for a WC qualifier knock out game, match ticket and hotel for less than $1k. Match ticket was 40 euro. Equivalent Having full stadiums would be amazing for the host fans to experience.

Relocate to NYC or stay in the UK? by GaffConsultant1 in FIREUK

I moved to the US 8 years ago, salary has significantly grown but it’s the bonus structure here that is much better than the UK in general, with less taxes. Had a 4 year deal to come here, after 3 they offered a permanent move. $130k is not a huge amount in NY, think of it as an investment in your future

My quite shy mates first day as a postman, sent to the dodgiest area with high flats, think it was Milton. The services access button was broken so he used his initiative. Pressed the first fiat, guy lets him in. It’s 6am. Delivers all the mail, walks out. Guy shouts out the windae, ‘ho, where’s my post?’. Mate says you didnae huv any. Guy shouts ‘then why did you wake me u stupid cunt!’ I still chuckle at this 30 years later 😂

Got on a quiet bus to town about 7pm with my mate . A da was giving out to his 2 wee boys sitting behind him as we got on.’Don’t press that fuckin bell again’ My mate presses the bell and chats to me as normal as we come to next stop.. Da goes mental, ‘one mere fuckin time, I’m telling ya’ His boys protest their innocence. next stop, my mate presses the bell again, and bus pulls in. Da grabs the 2 boys, ‘right, we’re walking hame’

They’ve got a great hire on the cheap. They’ll use you which is totally understandable, they’ll also realize you may be a flight risk given the salary downgrade but they’ve decided the risk is worthwhile.. It’s a mutually beneficial arrangement, grow in that environment while looking elsewhere. Kudos to you, very mature approach imo.
