But struggling with rapid expansion is a genuine challenge for businesses. But that's not as much fun as conspiracy theories. |

Well that all well and good but my youngest is still waiting for either the goods or a refund for an item purchased in early December. The original excuse was 'Delays due to Black Friday Demand' but now they just dont respond. |

Yes but growth doesnt really account for not dispatching a single item given the six weeks it has taken so far or issuing a refund. If thats the level they are currently at, then growth wont be an issue!! |

Yes it ended 2 years earlier than the original deal was meant to, hence my original comment saying they sacked them off. |

The two brothers that own the company are smart people - they know what they are doing - they wont have not employed. It just feels like a really weak excuse to cover up what has been an awful partnership. |

Let’s face it, MKDons are not exactly a major market. Only 6000 odd average home gate, the majority of whom don’t wear club colours. |
