Cunning plan.

One slight drawback is Hughes might have trouble convincing 75% of 4,500 Dons Trust members to vote in favour of effectively signing over the freehold on their new stadium to some rugby bloke they’ve never heard of.

Debt is debt.....it needs servicing and 4,500 gates ain't doing it......and the debt isn't theirs to sell.....it's theirs to service. Miss a payment and it's open season...that's how debt works. If Wimbledon either miss or try to restructure their debt, Hughes could step in.....as much as I think he's an idiot ...this is th kind of game he could play...

AFC Broncos....

You’ve fallen down a rabbit hole where you have no idea what you’re talking about. Stick to slagging off the Broncos, mate.

I doubt this is DH's game. He's simply repeating the mistakes of the past by thinking another ground move is the answer. I don't really see that any criticism of Wimbledon is justified. They are looking after their own interests. It will not be their responsibility to make this work but I hope they understand how this is likely to play out and are not unnecessarily exposed.

Agreed although it has to be said whoever signed the 500k for floodlights if we get into SL was a genius on one side (AFC) and on glue on the other (Broncos).

London were bidding to replace Toronto so only a year ago Hughes was willing to finance a Super League season without the same funds as the other clubs. I am assuming he hasn't lost his wealth just his enthusiasm since then.
Season tickets were sold with an emphasis on "elite sport" and the eventual move to Plough Lane not that the marketing lured many fans back. The price rise just put people off although the free polo shirt was actually quite decent!.
The stark truth is that we won't get much home support unless we are in Super League. Clubs like Bradford will bring a few to Plough Lane but I can't see enough new support being generated in the Wimbledon area to cover overheads.

At the risk of being overly positive I too thought the polo shirt was of a decent quality.

Offering a name and number on replicas free of charge was a good offer too. Try getting that service free at one of the London football clubs!. Previously no one on the commercial side showed any interest in helping me get my shirt printed. Added to which I got a free shirt as part of my season ticket money not being refunded and a free match ticket although I think they had forgotten about that when I checked on availability! Never the less not a bad deal.
The A.P.X merchandise is well designed and I am pleased they are issuing a retro range as I don't want to pay £150 on e-bay for an original Fulham shirt !..I quite like wearing Broncos stuff as it's unlikely I will see many others where I live. It's usually large chaps in Liverpool shirts!.
I was surprised the club didn't sell any shirts on match days which was probably down to having so few staff available and of course so few fans!. Mrs Ward was always busy in the bar but crowds were down so much, turnover was probably going to be low.
If people want to boycott the club that's up to them but I will buy a season ticket for Plough Lane. If the club goes under at least I will have done my bit.

I was supposed to get a free shirt too but the club didn't sort it out despite me reminding them. Very poor.

Sorry to hear about that. I know I had to chase mine up a bit and almost gave up on my mug as I wasn't even sent one from the first batch despite paying the £20 membership fee. I am not in any way saying that the Broncos are a well run club! The lady Kayleigh was very efficient,following up e-mails and being helpful things seemed to get worse when she left.
What does amuse me is that Mr Loubser's Twitter account is all about hockey and how it his mission to promote it's growth! Nothing about the Broncos! You wouid hope that someone in his position would love rugby league more!

To be fair he's an accountant who was thrust into the CEO role because Hughes had run out of gimps to appoint. At the time, Hughes was taking tips from jamie soward on useless coaches whilst trying to understand why the name change and move to a car park hadn't done what the fielding supremo promised.
