ITV is a broadcasting company obsessed with celebrities.

Celebrity football fans.

I suppose its because they are both League 2 but a bit of a shame Frannies v Wimbledon isn't on. I can see that being a humdinger!

Why wouldn't they?

The interest in the club makes them a much more attractive option than sticking any old game on.

People might not like it but it's the same reason why United's FA Cup games are always on the telly.

You can qualify and doubt it if you like, but I'd say you're underestimating the impact that the owners and documentary have had on casual or non-football fans' interest in the club.
