Quote: wantawin "Esher are building a new stand as far as I know they have planning and building should start imminently. AFC Wimbledon are hoping to move back to Plough Lane which means they will want to sell Kingsmedow I doubt if K's have the money to buy the stadium back as they sold to AFC because they had financial problems.
I do not think Kingsmedow could be developed into a 5000 seat stadium let alone 10,000 there is not much land around the pitch.'"

I thought Plough Lane had houses built on it?

Really?
Let us examine the chain of comments so you can point out where I twisted and mis-represented your words shall we

Quote: Perry "Belying your remoteness again. It's next to one of the worst estates in west London.'"

Quote: Perry "1. Actually, the estate is on the eastern side of the tracks, the ground is on the western side....,
2. RL has its roots in council estates and working class areas......or have you not been north of late
3. Everywhere in london is within a Driver and a wedge of a dodgy estate......even Twickenham had one, as did Brentford.
4. Remoteness? And you say you're not part of a clique? icon_lol.gif

Plough Lane does have houses on it. That development is next door.

I can confirm that I have seen this with my own eyes having lived around the corner for 2 years not long ago.

Correct...but the Plough Lane Stadium they are looking to redevelop doesn't......it's the dog track at Plough Lane.

Ummm, you jumped on Perry's post, claiming he was wrong, when in fact he was completely correct.

Plough Lane Stadium closed in the 90's and now has houses on it. Fact. The Wimbledon Stadium isn't Plough Lane Stadium. It isn't particularly complicated.

HTH.

Indeed it isn't difficult, well not for a reasonably intelligent person to google Wimbledon returning to plough lane and to discover that Wimbledon are indeed looking to return to plough lane.....they even say they are 'coming home"
rlhttp://www.redevelopingploughlane.co.uk/afc_wimbledon_s_returnrl
My mirth had little to do with the fact that there were indeed houses on the old site, but more to do with Perry, being "local", as opposed to 12,000 miles away and unqualified to make any comments on the advances made at the Broncos.....and yet not knowing that the planned redevelopment was of the dog stadium and surrounding area.
HTH!

Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.:cartoons/WB24.gif



Years of travelling to games. Never thought I'd need to bring my own seat with me, at least my fold up chair has a slot for a can. Next stop the pitches on Clapham Common? Whether the nature of the squad for next year makes me feel any different, but at this point underwhelmed if this happens and more likely to leave it to others.

Apparently the are closing the dog track and developing the area for the AFC stadium, housing and shops.

Enough already again - back to ignore/foe status.

I'd appreciate it if folk who have to debate with him use a minimal amount of quoting.
Thanks.

Quote: Perry "It's next to one of the worst estates in west London.'"

Quote: Perry "1. Actually, the estate is on the eastern side of the tracks, the ground is on the western side....,
2. RL has its roots in council estates and working class areas......or have you not been north of late'"

I use the word "worst" and you change it to "council" to infer some sort of snobbery on my part.
I talk about it being in west London, and you talk about it being on the east side of the tracks, to infer some sort of gegraphical ignorance, despite the two facts being completely unrelated.
It's very subtle and insidious how you twist a person's words to suit your own agenda. But you are twisting them.

Quote: Perry "So...to recapNo I did not, as explained above.

Quote: Perry "I point out that both Brentford and Twickenham were similar whilst reminding you of the roots of the game of RL not being put down in leafy suburbs......'"
More sly inference, you won't find anything in my words suggesting that RL started in leafy suburbs.

Quote: Perry "How exactly is this twisting or mis-representing your words?'"
See the above.

Thanks for the answer. I should also thank you for acknowledging that we're allowed to ask a question, some seem to have a problem with that.

I have a question then.
In your opinion and based on the factual data available, how much has the improved engagement with the fans (note...not the clique) improved things for the club as a viable professional business.

Please also refer to the number of long term fans on here who have said that if the club move to Trailfinders Sports Grounds, that they will no longer follow them even though they are now apparently re-engaged and to St Joey of Parra in referencing the newfound engagement, as it is he who you hold 100% responsible for the players and fans interacting at the end of a game.

If I answer it, do I have to make your question part of my signature?

No...because factually Wimbledon are returning to and developing plough lane icon_smile.gif

Anyone know when there is likely to be any real news on this? Rather than a couple of bits of (currently) rumour or mates mates info. I'm in denial and trying to stay in the don't tell me it's true camp.
