Yes, a business treats something that is on sale as a unit. Individual season tickets, shirts, shorts, socks etc are all 'units'.

Typically but not necessarily, surely a unit can mean anything the business defines it as. I think you are right in this case but it is not impossible that a TE season ticket is 1 unit, a nationwide 1.5 units (for example).

But then they would be making a unit equivalent to a price, if you see what I mean. In this case 1 season ticket is 1 season ticket is 1 unit, otherwise they'd be selling themselves short, in terms of people who own a season ticket.

I realise this is making me sound like the boring tit I am, but if a unit was a price was (e.g.) £100 and the price of a TE ST was £100 and elsewhere was £200, then we could sell 3 units and it could mean 3 STs or 2 STs.
Assuming the latter, if the club wanted to spin our season ticket sales story it would say 3 units but mean 2 season tickets.
But I think all my arguing is cack and I have become over cynical and over suspicoius of the club. I think Gray said we had increased sales over this time last year, so surely that means 1 unit = 1st.

I see what you're saying Batch, but: a) They said the sales are up on same time last year which would have to be over 2000 I'd have thought b) I don't think the club's financial analysis is that sophisticated And if they make 4000 I'll .... erm, be quite surprised

Yeah but he's not a full back - I bet their centre forward's a right moose.

Crikey o riley, thanks Reg! Don't know why there's all this fuss over Ashley Cole, we're clearly studying the wrong English full-back :-- (wolf-whistle)

Smith (ST) and Chapman(?) (MF) are also quite nice!

I think maybe they could. There are some very good players in the women's team, but half of them are total crap!
