Also, as a matter of course don’t we play away from home for most of the summer. Can’t see that taken into account here.

I thought that too. I notice the official website makes no mention of the change of day and kick off time. I wonder if there is a change of home ground in the offing.

Plus when do AFC play. I assume Saturday don’t you? Have they forgotten to square that away? Who knows.

They're actually away on all of those Saturday's. I assume that June (no home games) and probably the first couple in July (Halifax and Donny) are when the club will be playing elsewhere due to pitch works.

As Moe says, Wimbledon are playing away for the first two Saturday matches.

The third on 31st May, may be when the pitch works have started. Wimbledons last scheduled home match is in April, although if we reach the play-offs could play at home up to mid May.

No football or rugby scheduled in June. The Saturday matches in the first two weeks of July may be too early.

Saturday at 5pm probably works well for me, but I can see the issue for others. Looks like a deliberate choice to try and have five consecutive Saturday 5pm matches. I guess consistency is good at least..

Can't schedule in other Saturdays as the football fixtures won't be known until next June.

The unknown here is how many weeks the pitch will be unavailable. On one hand I think the club want to make the pitch available for more weeks, but the big unkown is whether major work is needed on the pitch collapse from earlier this season.

Wimbledon released their accounts for last season a week ago. They aren't great. Allthough the Turnover is 12+ million (including 3+ Million player sales), costs are now 13 Million, so are a loss of around 0.7 Million. That includes over 1M depreciation so cash wise a small profit. And we also lost 0.4M to a company who went into liquidation owing us.

Our Turnover (with or without Player Sales) is impressive at either League Two or League One. But our costs are horrendous and we don't have rich owners to plug the gap like most clubs at our level (the annual average loss covered by owners in L2 is 1.5 Million).

So I think Wimbledon want to make more use of the pitch in the off season which may benefit London if unavailability reduces; but don't hold your breath.
