Tony is a smart man. As such he realises that BHA fans are no different to any others in that they are a cross section of society, and in general society there is a significant minority (often the most vocal) who spend their lives talking out of their arses.
Again, not trying to be smart, but is it really true that there is no room for those companies? Or is it that there is still room, but not at the same high-profile, due to the club being able to attract larger investors now? Also, the fact that few from back then are still employed by the club...
A couple of thoughts and questions:
Did you make a complaint to the club, wait for a response and then decide it wasn't good enough so decided to post on here?
How exactly did you find out the reason for being turned away? (you say 'it turns out', which is a little vague)
What other examples do...
