| Re a joint stadium with AFC.
There is a good non league football stadium in Merton, which also has planning permission for a second main stand at the moment. (Stated aim of the Dons Trust is to return to Merton.) When built planning permission was granted subject to AFC Wimbledon first team not being allowed to play there. Someone has dug up a planning application to strike down that restriction. It appears that the Merton planning committee have met however no result appears to be in the public domain.
It may all be totally co-incidental but if Dons do end up playing at this stadium I'm struggling to see why they would need to build a new stadium with us.

If the "Real" Dons, not those Ersatz Charlatans at FC Franchise Football MK, who I am glad to say failed at Peterborugh to get into the League 1 play offs this season, wish to progress up the Football League tables long term neither their current Kingsmeadow location nor the current Merton "option" I am led to believe are viable proposistions for Championship level football and hence the long term desire for a shiney new stadium.

| Are you guys on the move ?
The Stoop is a great place to watch RL, but it was a backward step to only open 1 stand. it completely killed the atmosphere of the place.

| Personally I hope you move away from the Stoop but God knows where.
Where do most Quins fans reckon would be the best ground to move to?

Is it the stoop or its owners you have an issue with?

If they have to move again....and I for one think that to do so would be nuts, then wherever they go, they go as London RL, with 10 years backing from the RFL/SKY to make it work..........
Brentford...not up to SL standards.....
Charlton.....too big
QPR.......possible, but crap seats
Millwall......not a chance
AFC Wimbledon......pipe dream
Leyton Orient.....not a chance....
For me, if they were given 10 years exception from franchise loss as well as an extra 1,000,000 a year for marketing......I'd move to Brentford.

| Here's what's going to happen:
Another 3 years at the Stoop, followed by the next round of SL Licence applications where a new London franchise will emerge with a new ground and a new name.

If Brentford is not up to SL standards then neither is Bradford, Wakey, Salford, Hull KR.
It's even better now that the end away terrace is now covered
It still has more than 10k doesn't it?

It'll take 3 seasons to get everything in order. The SL Licensing process with act as a good bookend to the francise's development.
Long term my friend, long term...

I enjoyed watching matches at Griffin Park much more than I do at the Stoop. But I can't think of any other reason for going back there (well, perhaps if we got the Cowgirls back ) The ground is lacking in so many facilities, it's not suited to rugby (remember Seb Luisi's conflict with the boundary wall?), and Nic Cartwright had a nightmare time every season trying to find alternative venues when Brentford decided they didn't want us there because of pitch reseeding or whatever other reason they could think of.
Think forwards, not backwards.

Can't see a denial or an affirmation on Twitter, has it been pulled because the last tweet I can see is the one about Chris Riley from 24 May.

Forgive me for paraphrasing Ian Ramsdale paraphrasing Gus Mackay, but apparently the CEO said that there was no truth in the story but that they "would talk to them about the possibility though, as they're always looking at options...but would not rule it out."
