The current President of the NCCU is one such denier. The original marketing of the NMS was something of a con, in that it told potential members that joining the NMS would save their clubs Game Fee. This was true, but failed to point out that the amount saved in Game Fee was less than the cost of NMS membership. How else was it that the ECF got more income from the MO than it did from Game Fee? There were no dramatic increases in the numbers of players, so increased income can only come from increasing the take from existing players and events.Sean Hewitt wrote: Despite your assertions to the contrary, this is not denied by anyone as far as I'm aware. .
There was little take up of MOs outside a few areas because it was quite obvious that it would cost the "average" player more and would potentially discourage new players. Equally this viewpoint was denied as not being correct.
