Big clubs don't release the amount of tickets they sell, only wee insecure clubs do that.

Is this thread one big Adidas viral marketing campaign?

Don't know why people put themselves through the drudgery of eating a bacon roll when bacon croissants are an option.

New Purity Ring song: Purity Ring - push pull: Think we've reached the point where them and Chvrches are pretty much the same band sound-wise.

Saw this just in time! The photo on the flyer is on one of the sleeves from the double vinyl reissue.

Just finished this. Great final episode. Thought the FBI boys were pretty shite characters but other than that it was just about perfect. Molly is some girl. Also got me thinking how good a drama like this set in the Highlands could be if it was done properly.

Panelbase poll due at 9.30. Rumoured No lead.

That's the same one?

ICM rumour is likely pish. There is one due out for Opinium at 8pm. Edit: Not pish, but smaller sample size than most other polls: http://blog.whatscotlandthinks.org/2014/09/icm-put-yes-ahead-perhaps/

Eff the debate thread, the poll thread is where it's at.

It's definitely being released at 10.30pm. The political editor of the Daily Record will tweet it.

Chief exec of Survation: Damian Lyons Lowe @DamianSurvation · 7h Well that was a long day..results of our new #indyref poll Sept 5-9 are just in and they are quite something! @davieclegg will tweet later.

Apparently they are counted before polling day: http://www.jamesbarlow.co.uk/opening-postal-votes "So, postal votes are opened and counted at regular sessions before polling day, and political agents are entitled to attend these sessions just as they are entitled to attend the count of non-postal ballot papers."

Do they count postal votes before polling day? Surely the chance of preliminary results leaking out is a bit undesirable?

Highland Independence Now!

The surprising thing in that TNS poll for me is that more people in the Highlands are voting No than Yes.

39% No, 38% Yes, 23% Undecided

All of these polls were probably conducted before BT's "new powers" proposals. Even though they're clearly a panic measure and woefully underdeveloped, all it needs is to change the minds of 2% of Yes voters and it's all to play for again.

Surely teams visiting them won't fancy scaling Miliband's Wall just for a game of football. Berwick Rangers to be awarded 3-0 victories in all their home games.and will be Champions of Scotland by 2020.

http://scotgoespop.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/are-peter-kellner-and-yougov-yes.html The "Kellner Correction" mentioned in this article was removed from their methodology in August, explaining in part why their last two polls have shown a seemingly large rise for yes. Basically, their pre-August method differed from standard polling practice so was deemed to be unreliable, so they changed it back to a more standard method.

Looks like the SNP didn't want the results of the Panelbase poll they commissioned released until after the Yougov results were released. Which means that the papers went to press with only the news of the one that Yes is winning in. #tactics Also worth noting that Yougov changed the weighting of the results for their last two polls which may account for some of the supposed "gains" of the last two weeks. This obviously means that they had deemed their pre-August polls to be inaccurate for some reason.

Source? It comes out at midnight apparently.

The only evidence of vote rigging was from the pro-sovereignty/independence Party Quebecois polling staff rejecting dubious "No" ballots on the grounds that they were spoilt when they actually weren't. Although these allegations were thrown out in court. The breaking funding guidelines point is valid, though it's is possible that the Montreal "Love Rally".actually backfired on the federalists and increased support for the Yes side as polls after the rally showed an increase in support for Yes. I don't think the option of devo max will have much impact on voters, but it doesn't need to. All it would take is 2 or 3% to be taken in and No would win.
