MK sold 30,000 tickets in a day or 2 for the JPT final. Shows how plastic they really are.

We'd have exactly the same. MKD are plastic franchise from hell, but every club has the "die hard lifelong fans" who never miss a game on Teletext (shopping, DIY etc permitting) but then only actually show for the playoffs, cup runs etc.

Yes but they didn't support a team 4 years ago. And if they did it was Man U on the telly. They reallty are a joke of a club. I hate them with a passion.

We took 35,000 to Wembley in 93, next league match at CG around the 8,000 mark (home to Oldham).

I think that's about right anyway.

Gretna relegated to Div 3 (if they can still keep going). What a rollercoaster that's been, from Div 3 to the Premier League and back since 2002!!

Partly shows the danger of being backed by one man who's doing it as a hobby.
Brooks Mileson got ill, then the money stopped - and for a club with no assets they were screwed.

Other top clubs are better covered - ie if Roman ill/died/got bored and left, Chelsea would survive, and probably re-sell.

Unfortunetly the administrator has told the SFA at the moment he does not see them surviving next season, they expect a decision within the next couple of days on if Gretna will be able to survive full stop.

The administrator has told the league that he will not allow Gretna to start the season if he does not think they will surive the whole season.

Bear in mind the administrator released all staff and players making them redundant so effectively they would have to start from scratch as well
