Apologies, I've re-read your post and can see what you mean, as in they hide items on the marketplace.
Sorry. Would be sneaky, and unlikely, but will have to ask my mate who is a Watford fan, as I saw the marketplace littered with Watford cards!
Agree that I also found Coventry City items difficult to come across on the marketplace, but have to disagree with your theory, which in fairness you did say was maybe "tin hat" in nature.
That would not account for the scarcity on the marketplace, but I cannot say what the exact reason is why...
I remember, I think it was at AFC Wimbledon away, where a guy was giving a Wimbledon player and linesman dog's abuse for no reason, before the game had even kicked off.
Feel like there could be a happy medium between what you witnessed and what this guy did...
Yep. It's amazing how football is one of the few consumer capitalist models that can serve up pure shite to its customers and people keep coming back, I will be there on Tuesday, as I was away at Fleetwood on a cold winter Tuesday evening a few moons ago.
