Tbh, my statistical analysis doesn't really extend beyond A-level maths over 40yrs ago, but some of the mud must've stuck.
Yes, I agree about the initial protest vote aspect, but would've thought that would balance out after the deadline, to more reflect the reality, IF people updated accordingly.
I noticed some in the comments said that they relented on their protest and renewed, but also many saying that they had dropped out and were going to pick and choose games going forward. Sadly, 2 of my older mates have given up after over 100 years worth of season tkts between them.
