There are already so many ads on the forum, I'd have thought it's easier for people to only browse through ones that are actually available rather than also have to look at lots of things that have already sold- I was just trying to unclog the forum....

Not in my opinion.


Deleting content is unhelpful to others. They might, for example, waste time a day or two after a post was published, searching for it again but unable to find it.


It's also unhelpful to the poster. It would remove information that might help a reader gain a good impression of them as a seller. It might also get them wondering what reasons anyone had for deleting details of what they had been trying to sell. Most of the ones that come to my mind involve some variety of dishonesty.


I'd leave the housekeeping to Admin, who will mainly be concerned with clogged gigabytes and will trawl from time to time. Users can't delete a whole post anyway, so just take care of the subject line. "Sold" or whatever added there tells all that's needed, in a few tenths of a second. Opening a thread to find the content gone takes a lot longer and may annoy.

    • Option 1.  Let them go bust.  Government takes over, until an appropriate solution found.  This happens with failing train operating companies  Option 2.  Anyone who made money on the privatisation, or their immediate descendants, bail them out  Obviously the latter isn't going to happen but makes me feel better/superior. What do you reckon?  Big picture.  Small picture as I posted elsewhere is that they were good when we had a leaking main.  And of course mass redundancies need to be avoided.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw
