It’s the hope that kills you.
On 2 that’s right. The losses and the way we’ve played have been dire but it’s the almost entire absence of any time period where I think we might win that has made this season such a drag for me.

Right then.
Band booked for post match in The Phoenix. Is it busy in there after games?
Still no kids-zone, but would a late offer to Dons fans on Saturday to come Sunday for a quid work?
Sub 700 gate on Sunday would be horrific, especially if we get the points.......if Dons lose Saturday I'd let their fans in on Sunday for free,

It’s looking like a sub 400 gate at the moment which is a worry.
I accept it’s a positive move but is a post match band a little presumptuous. There’s a fair chance we will lose. Will people stick around? Remember many fans have quite a journey and may be disinclined to stick around in any event. At least it’s an attempt.

we have not booked tickets yet (only 2). Going to book in community stand I think as my dad is almost 80, and I expect the community stand to be quieter.

We won't be going to the band, on a Sunday evening will take 2 hours to get back home. Will probably buy a couple of tops however (not the awful blue one though)

Bloody hell - you want to add to the misery of the Dons fans by letting them in to see us for free the next day??

Kick'em whilst they're down



If the Dons do go down at the weekend (as is highly likely), I'd expect any inquest in the off season to feature a report on the Pro's & Con's of their new tenants. The break clause works both ways (we are led to believe), so it'll be interesting to see what they make of our first few months and the associated revenues that were apparently splitting with them in terms of bars etc.....I suspect they are as underwhelmed with the income as the London Broncos (Hughes/Loubser) are.

As a fourth generation Trotters fan, would hope that Bolton's players would give their all in their final match of the season. Whilst on, maybe "Wanderers" would be a more fitting sobriquet than Broncos.

At the time of your post, DC1 (is that a nickname for The White House) it was 362 days to St. Georges - the ambulance service is terrible nationwide.

Seriously, on Sunday whilst at work will be rooting for you guys as you are one of the few groups of non SL fans/characters that still post on RLFans.

Go to the match and, win, lose or draw, be part of the club that you obviously care for despite its present travails and irritating management!

Cheers Bongser. Home game for you this week against high flying Sheffield. Not an easy match but I think you’ve got enough in the tank unless all that scoring against us has worn you out. Here’s to 2 home wins.

We have booked our two tickets

Now need to figure out how to get there from Egham, but should be simple enough

Crash don’t know if you’ve seen this thing about no district line. This may make it even more difficult to get to. I go via Tooting Broadway on Northern line but it is a 15 minute walk from there which may be no good for your Dad.

270 bus goes there....or a fiver in a cab.
edit. Egham - Clapham Jnct - Earlsfield Road....270 bus Plough Lane....simlez

Yep thats our route. Looking forward to seeing the ground and the food. Not looking forward to seeing them play in wire kit though, but you can't have everything.
