Griping or whatever you want to call it usually involves commenting on the team, play, manager, etc. That's part and parcel of the game of football.

This is a completely different matter. Saying 'we have a famous name' and 'everyone has heard of us' is worthless if you don't cash in on it. Having a town centre shop in a town where the majority of people couldn't care less, is simply silly. Sell stuff on the internet, where people miles away will spend their money, but do it properly! I would have offered my services, but decided that there would be too many obstructions to be able to do the job to my satisfaction.

It's very, very frustrating and I can't see things changing.
