I'm well aware. My mum was a teacher and worked well over the hours you cite most weeks - she was senior management as well. My comment was a factual statement and in no way a criticism of the teachers concerned. I wouldn't work at weekends for free so I don't expect them to.
It's just flagging a factor lots of clubs fail to take into account, they assume free tickets to schools will be snapped up as everyone wants to watch their club as much as they do. Back in the real world ...
Re the six week point, the same protection laws apply to youth clubs etc. My personal experience is the take up from them is usually a bit better than from schools but again a fair chunk will say no. |

I'm glad you put those laughing faces there.
Those hols are well -earned , considering teachers ( I'm not one but my wife is) only get paid for approx 27-32 hours work per week - ie only for the time they spend in front of a class of kids. Nothing for the rest of the hours put in.

That's the problem - the teachers will be around when we can't play at PL but won't be from late July til early Sept.
Double whammy. |

I .well aware of the effort and toil of teachers. It's a vocation, not an occupation....and they're mainly unpaid for about 33% of the stuff they do.  |

Looking at buying a 'membership' for the first time since we left the Stoop seeing as Wimbledon is only an hour away, but I'm a bit confused about the kids pricing. According to the website 'membership explained' there is a 'Junior Broncos up to and including age 12', which on the order form is called Under 12 membership, and a 'Junior Broncos 12 - 16' which on the order form is called a 12-16 membership. As I have a 12 year old daughter, I'm trying to work out whether she should be 'up to and including 12' or '12 - 16'?
https://londonbroncosrl.com/tickets/
I'm guessing nobody proof read the membership info page to make sure it was clear? I did try asking for help on the twitter feed but whoever runs that was unable to help because they don't sell 'season tickets' they sell 'memberships', which is obviously the gold standard in corporate communications. Maybe the same person wrote the membership info page?
I did try to work it out using the order form process, but that didn't get too far as it won't accept my email address for the kids tickets because it's the same address I'm using for my ticket. Seriously, would kill the Commercial team to spend an hour on user experience testing their processes?
Has anybody ordered a ticket for a 12 years old, if so, what ticket did they order? |

Mine is a little younger but you should buy the under 12 ticket, in my view, on the basis that kids would play under 12s at sport until they reach 13 if you see what I mean. That is what I would/will do. If you are risk adverse you could email them on their hello@ email address and they square this away but I’m sure I’m right.

This evening AFC Wimbledon fans offered discounted tickets for either the Widnes or Whitehaven games. Offer to AFC Wimbledon Season Ticket Holders, Debenture Holders, Stadium Card Holders and Dons Trust members, plus those who have invested in the club/stadium through the bond or equity crowd funding. Discount codes will go out later this week. Will be interesting what the uptake is.

Will be interesting to see what the cost of a ticket is compared to a Bronco's season ticket (per game). |

Seems about right.
I assume that the dons fans get first dibs on their regular seat? |

AFC seem to be trying to boost our crowds by themselves being dumped out of the FA Cup & after last night's lose at MK Dons, now only 2 points & 1 place outside the relegation places after such a good start to the season. Do have a couple of games in hand but could be a long old season. Doubt they would want to follow 2 failing teams though.

Honestly don't believe the league position of AFC Wimbledon will determine if their supporters watch the Broncos or not. AFC Wimbledon are probably a border League 1/2 team anyway. They could get relegated, but that's deemed acceptable as part of a long term plan.
Having just opened a 30 million pound stadium, prudent financial decisions are priority.
How many AFC Wimbledon supporters will watch Broncos matches I’ve no idea, but it makes sense to attempt to get them in with this offer. It is a fan base with a lot of money, so engaging with them is worth doing. How many will enjoy the experience enough to return is the million dollar question.
AFC Wimbledon soft launched a new bond just before Christmas, which means only supporters following unofficial social media closely are aware of it. It directly replaces the previous bond which exceeded 6 million. Currently the new bond is over £600,000 with official publication of it’s existent imminent. It is of course a loan (albeit a friendly loan) but does have a minimum investment of five years. An attraction is not just providing the club a medium term loan, but the offer of 6% annual interest.
In other words the money is there, it’s upto the Broncos to attract it to their team. |
