It would seem that announcing attendances is becoming a thing of the past, with AFC Wimbledon reticent to declare crowds. The 'opening day" thriller on their return to Plough Lane didn't sell out.....and Wimbledon don't appear to be declaring any gates unlike the rest of their division!
rlhttps://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-one/attendancesrl

This raises the question "How much do they need us"?.....or even "do we need them"?

We can safely assume that the CEO has convinced DH that his is a vital move if the club is to survive, but if the good folk of Merton aren't prepared to follow their local football club, risen from the ashes and back where they belong, then what exactly are the club expecting in terms of interest for an alien sport?

Have a look at the video on Youtube for the highlights of AFC V Portsmouth from early September. The far stand is empty, the terrace at one end is empty, the away fans at the other end is 1/4 full at best.....so even if the stand where the cameras are placed was full, they are looking at 3k maximum.

so, if only 2,700 Wimbledon fans can be bothered (I know it was a cup match) to see their side back at their spiritual home, how the hell are we going to get families from the borough to games?

£200,000 mate? That'll do nicely d040.gif

The club need to rethink this move. Stay at Trailfinders where we can train and play together and spend the saved cash on players, because I'll be stunned if we average any more than 250 at PL by the end of the season.....

Not any great surprise, a number of football clubs have had the same sort of issues around late availability of cards or new/old cards not working if updating their systems or moving to a new provider. Quins had similar problems last Saturday too. Hard to understand why these problems have arisen given starting date for the season were well known in advance.

Average AFC Wimbledon gate during the 2019/20 season was 4383.

A realistic target for us is 438. A 80+ % increase on this year

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.

And?
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.
