Those who run the musuem will benefit from the extra visitors and receive the extra finance to improve what's on show. The museum is struggling because few people know about it. It's hidden away inside the ground of small football team. The most natural place for the museum to be is Manchester where football history has been shaped over the last twenty years. The city is recognised around the world as one of the most significat places in football. Can Deepdale and Tom Finney really copmpare to that? No. I think that it's quite selfish of people in Preston to want to keep the museum when the best thing for those involved with it - and football fans around the world - would be for it to move to Manchester where it will receive more publicity and attract more visitors who can enjoy what it has to offer.
