I am a final year student at Sheffield Hallam University studying Bsc (Hons) Sport and Leisure Management, and I'm writing my dissertation on MCFC. My name is Nick Wall and I have been a season ticket holder for two years now and I thought it would be interesting to do my project on 'Football Fandom' at our club. The dedicated fans on this forum are my ideal target audience; I would hugely appreciate if you could take 5 minutes of your time to complete my questionnaire, if you are over the age of 18.
If you could reply to this post, copy + paste the questions then delete the answers as appropriate I would be very grateful to all respondents. (15 multiple choice questions).
