      Assuming it's not a low base and the methodology is reasonably robust, that's a very significant increase.

      And of course it's not a measurement of a possibly transient opinion either.

      Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.

        Well, I was there or thereabouts ... the full snippet:

        In 2008 Sport+Matkt found that Chelsea had 2.4 million 'fans' in Britain. Again according to Sport+Markt, that represented a rise of 523 per cent in the five years since Roman Abramovich had bought the club. Yet even that figure of 2.4 million represented a swift decline: in 2006, when, no doubt coincidentally, Chelsea had just won the league twice running, Sport+Markt credited the club with a mammoth 3.8 million British fans.

        By 2006, if we can believe Sport+Markt's figures, about 90 per cent of Chelsea's fans were people who had not supported them in 2003.

        ... Sport+Markt has polling data ... *eek*

            And that's my final say on the matter.

            Except to say this: a row with you INWWN.
            Any suggestions as to what the f*ck I was on about?

              Nope, but I'm confident that you did not get the last post in on that matter.

                A row with you is not what we need?

                  Very plausible. Very plausible indeed.

                  It's certainly the most convincing explanation so far.
