Quote: Smithers99 "You keep quoting the figures you want rather than trying to find out what is actually correct. You did it with Portsmouth and again here. Your assuming 750 fans, your assuming it is 200K and your assuming no office space.'"

You quoted "between 200 and 500k"....I'm just selecting the bottom figure. A few years back, it was stated that about 65-70% of actual ticketing revenue ever reached the club, but I've simplified it to 750 x 20 quid I haven't got a clue how many AFC Wimbledon fans attended and I was there. Where to you get 500 from? You also assumed everyone of them was paying a pound which I GUARANTEE wasn't true.'"


Hey. I have gone on record as saying that 450 widnes, 500 dons and 600 freebies to the community will be hard to match on Sunday week.....I said 750-850 was my predicted attendance for the haven game...let's see where I'm at then shall we

Quote: Smithers99 "The rent is based on attendances and was based on what the Broncos were getting. As you appear to have the figures, what was the average attendances in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021? It's very relevant to the rent charge. I think I have a good idea, but I don't have a reliable source for that.'"


I have every seasons average since the start of SL, but none of them matter. I repeat, you quoted the dons trust claiming "between 200k and 500k"......no matter what went before, if I were the dons trust or a member of the trust, I'd expect 200k

Quote: Smithers99 "No permanent office space is correct, but what about occasional desk space? Not quite the same of course, but not everything is necessarily black and white.'"


So no office space....but you can plug in a lap top? Stoop version 1 we had a port-a-cabin, stoop 2 we had an office as well as 4 desks in the main office....well, we did until Hughes ruined that relationship.

Quote: Smithers99 "As you are aware AFC Wimbledon is a fans owned club and as such requires majority (or greater) voting on key decisions by Dons Trust Members. Accepting the ground share with the Broncos went to a vote. Effectively you have a CEO responsible for running the club, but he is reliant on fans making logical decisions. AFC Wimbledon forums aren't dissimilar to this forum, both will have fans voting against anything. As a result some of the information shared by the club can have a spin. In the same way you choose to paint the worst financial picture for the Broncos and AFC Wimbledon, the AFC Wimbledon CEO is trying to paint a positive picture. For example, he doesn't want the ground share voted out just because fans don't want Broncos branding at their ground.'"

The CEO of the London Broncos happened to be the accountant when the African shyster scarpered. He's no more qualified to be a CEO than the kit man. He makes bad decisions and then him and the commercial manager stonewall or banish any dissenting voices. I am sure that AFC and the trust are keen for London Broncos to work, for multiple reasons, but let's face it, be it Rugby League, Gridiron, Lacrosse or any other sport, the main reason for a tenant is to help you with the mortgage...and as you've stated, 200k to 500k is the expected income, so I'll stick to my 15k a game.

Quote: Smithers99 "There was an SGM held in which the vote was made. What was said made it blatantly clear there wasn't a guaranteed 200K. It was dependent on crowds. Two people at that SGM (board level) both referred to the Rugby League season starting at the end of March by the way, implying only a month of a shared pitch pre-summer. Nothing I heard was a blatant lie by the way, including the start date (April start anyone?)'"

So...to be clear. You've invited a tenant into your new home and accept that they'll only pay what they can afford? Dons Trust and Hughes seem well matched if that is true //www.twitter.com/pumpetypump:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_869.jpg

Hello cheekychops. I pop on a fair bit to see what you're all up to. Completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things but I do think the average RL fan wants you to be settled and do well; I certainly do. As a Bradford fan I've been through some heartache over the last decade, but the relentless slog that you go through as London fans makes me full of admiration.

From the outside it seems unfathomable why roots are never put down in working class communities. e.g. Brentford. Anyway, I have no answers but just wanted to wish you all the best.

Al the best to you as well. Looks like Bradford are on the up again after some difficult years so it can be done. Here’s hoping it will be our turn in the not too distant future.

If we had stuck with Brentford and put some marketing effort in maybe we would be playing in SL at their new stadium.

“ Brentford a working class community”

The piece should have started with Once upon a time……..

So London , what is the third kit? The one pictured on the twitter feed or the one on the shop home page? Both red but totally different shirts. Unbelievable!

When we moved from Brentford, I believe they were averaging about 5600 and were relegated to then 4th tier.......we averaged just short of 5k......up about 20% on the number when we arrived.
Harlequins RU seem to be OK too after bloodgate and relegation.....they get more to their event game than we manage in 5 seasons....even Charlton in the 3rd tier now average close to 18k......
It's Hughes......and I'm sick of banging my drum now......it's patently obvious to anyone that he hasn't a clue how to run a pro sports club a026.gif

Incompetence in the area where the head of commercial is supposed to be a professional. c020.gif
At some stage, the good folk at Wimbledon are going to have to ask themselves if it's worth the hassle of having this dead weight hanging from their coat-tails.....
...the marketing strategy seems to be scan the forums.
