Unsubscribing from the forum and leaving the sport

A lesson from history although a different sport. If you look at MK Dons they have never really hit the highs with their crowds. Although of course their move was deeply unpopular at the time their average crowd in league 2 is around 7 to 8k. Yes bigger in the championship of course. They took a freebie hit on a grand scale and got a 23k crowd against Harrogate. Does anyone know if at the time if the owners carried out any market research on their potential supporters or crowd? Because clearly it doesn't appear to have worked.

Dean,It is a sign and tin can religion for some disciples of Mr Cole, you cannot persuade a "believer" that is no more real than TOWIE. We are out there regularly selling/trading/auction bidding,all of the things that are purportedly done on the TV shows and know the difference between fake and real, we don't turn up at 10a.m. after our staff has set up the "stall", spend 2 hours signing autographs .taking selfies and selling the odd trinket, and then bu***r off, we do not visit established businesses like Andy Tiernan, Veralls, Yeomans etc. and pretend we are buying at a bargain price from collectors, nor pretend we made a profit on "sold" items which quite often in later shows can still be seen in the background of the shot weeks after ! It is reality TV, the true "nice little earner" is the fee that gets paid for the show by the TV companies . Here is an actual Video taken by Euan Bentley ( excellent youtube channel) of what actually goes on at a HC stall, see any buying/selling, between filming from his own crew.
