Quote: Smithers99 "AFC Wimbledon Ladies currently have 2pm (although I suspect 1pm to avoid the need for floodlights) kick-off's on 30/1 (Widnes 3pm) and 13/2 (Whitehaven 3pm). A quick change of goalposts perhaps!'"

Absolutely insane move to yet another football round where we are nothing more than a cash cow.....that will do what it is told!

Hopefully whatever he bit his tongue on about posting here will appear in a formal club statement.

You'd hope someone at the two clubs was bright enough to clock to clock this and there is a plan. A stadium usage calendar is a pretty standard bit of kit within sports clubs.

The fact Broncos appear to be away from home for an agreed period suggests this sort of stuff was covered off.

I wouldn’t engage further if I was him. It’s a lose/lose. it’s a fan forum. Some of the posts are nonsense, some venting, some fun, some accurate expressions of concern There will be much we don’t know, If I was the club Id see it a source for testing the temperature of a small section of a small fan base. Its the top lines not the rants that may be illuminating: concern over L1 fascination, Comms, move to PL, cost of PL and 2 training pitches against back drop of PT squad and vastly reduced fan base. Those would be things I’d see if I could address in public statements.

Define "engage"?
I don't care if they are under pressure. I don't care if they are struggling to make things work.....this situation is entirely of their own design and they are wage thieves of the highest order in my opinion.
There has never been any explanation as to why the club are moving south other than the dribbling incoherent statement about "superleague" standards...we are a L1 standard team with no chance of making SL, but still they are pressing ahead.
I notice that Hughes hasn't been seen or heard from.....unusual as he's normally front and centre with new moves, telling us how perfect it all is.
The reality is we have a bottom 6 standard squad and are hoping to attract curious locals to a standard of RL that is one step up from pub side standard. We are leaving a perfectly adequate stadium (sic) to yet again cover up the inability of those in charge to attract any significant interest in the club from wither paying sponsors or fans.
As for it being a lose/lose situation.....tough. sports administrators live and die in the public eye....as fans we may not be entitled to know everything but it certainly doesn't stop us thinking we are icon_biggrin.gif

I've always worn my heart on my sleeve as far as the Broncos are concerned. I jettisoned football in the late 80's and hadn't really found a sport or club to follow until the Broncos rocked up on my front door.
I never thought I'd say this, but the heady days of Chris Warren organising volunteers to leaflet drop the TW8 neighbourhood were marketing and commercial genius compared to the idiots we have now. Jesus, even handing out Oyster Cards in East London was an effort....as was sticking our new logo on the side of a few taxis, just as UBER was arriving.....this lot are just plain lazy!

The community guys at AFC wimbledon are football fans. They just want their debt serviced, but for some reason, Milner and lobster think they're going to be able to piggy back on the football clubs hard work.....they really are in for a short sharp shock come about April, when the gates aren't 20% of what is needed to break even on the rent.

The club should get Hughes to record a message and sent it to everyone......explaining the thought process an the 5 and 10 year plan for the club, because at the moment it looks like he's walked an left them with a final few million payment and they are really messing it up (but getting a wage whilst doing it)

The part time announcement itself was full of holes.....what they should have said was Hughes was tired of paying for full time players and not getting the results he wanted as a fan, so he was spitting his dummy out (again)......I know it's his money, but he really has bu99ered this club icon_biggrin.gifEPRESSED:

As you know I have followed West Ham since I was aged 6, and started to go regularly to games from 11. lucky my brother was 11 years older than me, and Mum & Dad gave him petrol money to take a mate and myself, even though I was in St Helens, never Once did I question the up's and down's of the club and some of those who have run it and owned it, as I took the attitude they are only temporary owners, Real Fans are for Life, not just goof times.

Same with London Broncos and the many names, all after being sent as a teenager to cover the first game at Fulham, from the radio station I spent most of my career at, Radio City Liverpool, No one can tell me we have gone though rough times before and always come through! dread thinking back to the time at the Palace Athletic Stadium, one match there were two of us sat in one side of the ground! Many seasons I went to every home and away game except France, and No never sat having lunch before hand in the lounge that's just not me, and most seasons when Academy games are in the North are on Saturday I go to them.

I've been speaking a lot of Wimbledon fans, and they don't paint the same picture as a Few here want to push! 250 miles away from London is bad enough keeping in touch with everything, never mind thousands of miles away.lol

Yes I could easily drive to that wicked stadium in St Helens, 10 minutes in the car, but I'm not interested in them! same with Liverpool, or Everton, but again I am not interested, Yes I admit Radio City made me go to some matches in our box and meal with advertisers etc, but it was not by choice!

I am looking forward to 2022! I am not Mystic Meg knowing what will happen, but I will give it a go! but not make judgement now!

Utter tosh. Utter and complete balderdash. AFC Wimbledon fans, like Brentford FC and Charlton Athletic FC before them and Fulham FC 400 years ago might have a look, but I can assure you there'll be little interest watching us get spanked by Halifax. The reality is that even hardened sports fans won't have the rugby to watch in their off season as we're banished for 5 weeks.......
Your enthusiasm reminds me of the young men signing up for the great adventure that was WWI.... d040.gif
