Depends on how we set packages, to attract the community in the area, AFC Wimbledon Fans, Past London Bronco Fans, and show more interest in current season ticket holders! with attractive various packages,
Last weekend we had two quarter finals in The Grand Final play off's, Wigan and Warrington at home, and both only attracted just over 7,000? Leeds ran free coach travel to Warrington, this is about the lowest attendance at Wigan for a while. Have fans found other interests during lockdown? it does not seem the case with football.
After the two page interview Ralph Rimmer gave to all RL Media, I have not heard one word of praise, no one seems to think he said anything? and take in his record since he became CEO, it is dismal! The consultation panel to look at the future of the game, to have St Helens Chairman and Leeds Rhinos CEO in the panel, does that promote any excitement or keen interest. To have this panel looking at the distribution of Sky monies, which will seriously affect Championship clubs, and for them to have no voice, sums up our game!
We have been force fed for far too many years! that we are the greatest game, which I feel is a complete joke! We are in a deep mess, and that is not just Our Club!

Indeed. The club should have recognised it is a time for consolidation. It needed to look after the fans it has. This move has disaster written all over it.

I actually think we probably will, post Covid get around 500/600 but only because away fans will turn up to visit a new big ground but, sadly, because they can see a big win on the cards. All that is of course predicated on whether coaches etc can actually park near the ground . If not, all bets are off.

You post like you're in the know, but all you've done is shown yourself to actually know nothing more than anyone else
AFC Wimbledon didn't fill their first game back at their spiritual home. Th y then appeared to have less than 1/3 full stadium for a cup match...I'd go as far to say 1/4.
London have fewer than 100 season ticket holders....paying £200,000 to a struggling 3rd tier soccer club who are saddled with debt for a stadium they're never going to fill is insanity ....and I for one think we have been mugged.

| We have indeed been mugged but to be fair we did throw ourselves at the mugger and ask to be.

Sense is not common, not for Hughes anyway.

I find it hilarious that someone would use a Papa John’s trophy crowd - previous attendances for that competition at Wimbledon (Kingsmeadow) being 642 & 388 - as some sort of proof that nobody would turn up to watch another club playing a different sport in its primary competition. Desperate stuff.

Those figures probably show how fickle the AFC fans are, as League average at Kingsmeadow was a bit over 5k. Most clubs would expect more than 10% for a cup game however 2nd rate the competition is. This season's game was against Pompy who travel in numbers so you might expect a decent crowd.

I find your denial of 1,500 empty seats at the grand opening hilarious. The papa John's shows your hardcore....the ones that are supposed to give egg chasing a gander.....desperate will be Wimbledon when Hughes pulls the plug and to 50 remaining bronco fans are supposed to cough up 4k a year each to service your debt

| Suggest Orange man needs to do a bit more research on football and the importance fans throughout the country give to the midweek domestic cup tournaments.

| No matter what spin the pro PL supporters put on the move , for the life of me I cant see it working....and thats not from a marketing or research angle just from someone who has seen the decline of a club that he has loved following for over 25 years...

| It wont work, as the only way you get fans is success on the pitch. And thats not going to happen paying 200K on rent a year.
Give it one season at most, once reality kicks in with 300-500 people watch London lose by 50 to Bradford or Dewsbury

Fully aware that midweek cup games aren't well supported....same awareness that AFC seem reluctant to publish their gates this year. I'm also still puzzled as to why they didn't fill th place for it's grand opening, reporting that nearly 9,000 fans went wild when there were only ,7,700 in attendance?
The need to either lie about or simply not declare attendances is strange.
If they're not getting the numbers expected, then it makes our deal with them more important....to them.

| Agree Orange it is very odd not to announce attendances whether on the basis of who turned up or how many tickets were sold. You might imagine they have had to notify the police & Local Authority for safety & planning purposes. HMRC would also be interested in accurate attendance figures. A mystery of Broncos proportion!!!
