It's not prejudicial to state that you don't like your club playing in an area where it is dominated by another sport.
My statement was based on fact. The club does not seem to be well loved locally and the crowds are terrible.
Time to move on |

far be it from me to be pedantic about your pedantry, but surely the outskirts of Southfields is Wimbledon itself? I should know - I used to live five minutes from the All England Club.
I await any credible ground alternative with interest, but I for one will be very disappointed if we leave the Stoop. Good ground, accessible, nice location. It is hardly because of the shirt we play in and the place where we wear it that few people come and watch the team. |

True. In the end I hope we stay at the Stoop as it's a cracking ground. |

With no fans, no identity and no chance of ever developing. So many fans have stopped going nowadays (many never went again after the move from Brentford which had a far better atmosphere - especially when the club had the gumption to open 3 sides up) |

So if you moved to your own permanent home in Wimbledon you'd be disappointed?
Granted the Stoop is a great stadium but it's someone else's, having your own base that no one will ever dictate to you must surely be the end goal in terms of stadium? |

Yup, amazing atmosphere at Brentford. They opened that terrace once didn't they? And about 10 people stood on it? |

The away terrace was decent. Some supporters lobbyed for the use of the terrace at the other end of the ground though. |

No it wasn't.......250+ people in there including 2 very large and very peed off Leeds fans when Botham kicked a last minute conversion to get the draw after we had been dead and buried with 10 minutes to go. the 2 leeds fans only came in for the last 15 minutes,,,,,,,they thought they had the game in the bag 
I took 4 new fans that day....2 still go to the stoop a few times a year.
The thing with the Brook road end being opened was about getting an area where 'noisy" fans could get together.......many a time I was told off by a certain poster on here for being too vocal when in the breamar road stand  |
