Quote ="andymacca"Its all well and good people saying that true fans never abandon their team and all that, which is true, but we are human. We can only accept so much garbage before we want to complain. Its typical of our society though, people accept second-rate nonsense. They might grumble, but they will get on with it. All that the franchise system has done for our club is provide a solid foundation for the business to make money, safe in the knowledge that it is safe for 6 years at least. If only they could see that a decent team would make their money for them'"
The irony is that although we are utterly useless on the pitch, the commercial merchandise operation is going great guns. Shop was heaving tonight and had a fantastic range in. Lee Jenkinson looks to be doing a great job. The opportunity in this area is massive and constrained only by our performances
on the pitch IMO
