You can not compare MK to us or take their gates seriously because they near enough pay people to attend !! MK . As everyone knows , have been seriously bank rolled by individuals and by local government .
Of all your examples , Oxford are the fairest comparison and they have suffered similar ups and downs to ourselves. Their recent downs have been far worst and their recent ups have been arguably better. We have been consistently average !
But but but MK's catchment area. And no Prem sides. And a big stadium with empty seats so you can turn up and sit next to each other.
It's really not as simple as 'build it and they will come' as some people seem to think it is.
