Tom - Only reason it didn't go up was it wasn't my camera :) - Debs - Gillingham New Year Day game is off they will have had 2 home games on the trot called off now so it's not just at our level.

Thanks to the Brighton fan and to the Chipstead goalie. Who can blame any non-league player if they want to play for us!
I hope Brighton succeed and Tranmere, etc.
Who reckons the game will be off on saturday?

All the best for the New Year from a Brighton fan. I think the support for your club in the CCL is fantastic - it just shows the depth of feeling against franchising. I hope you can achieve your ainm for a permanent home in Merton where the true Wimbledon belongs. The proposed move to Milton Keynes is a disgrace. Wish us luck in our attempts to build a new ground at Falmer, which has gone to a Public Enquiry. I hope we both succeed. It's a fight we must both win!

Just thought I'd post a message to say how much I enjoyed the banter on saturday and to congratulate you on the tremendous support you give your team. Sorry to say but I still see AFC Wallingford and Withdean as the top two but good luck for the rest of the season. I maybe look forward to playing against you somewhere, somewhen in the future.

How about we get sponsorship from BUPA next season? Seems that the team enjoy giving us fans heart attacks from sloppy defensive play! On a serious note - great entertainment yesterday at the Chipstead game. Really enjoyed the comeback.

After the disappointment of the postponed match yesterday - I went to see the 2nd half of Merstham v Chipstead. The pitch was a mess, game ended up 1 - 0. Merstham's long haired (bird look a like) got sent off for spitting by the 'school boy' ref we all know about. Chipstead looked solid at the back (especially no.5) but just could not score. Att: 100 approx.

Alan - The Watford fans made it to the ground before the game was called off and were invited into the presidents lounge knowing one or two of the lads they wouldn't have gone to Selhurst any way. They are good lads and we kicked there buts at Karaoke the other year in the Farley :)

Tooting, London England - Friday, December 27, 2002 at 02:18:34 (PST)
It was a shame yesterdays game was called off - it would have been a great comparison: 2,600 at Selhurst (mostly Watford & comp tickets) and 4,000 at Kingsmeadow!

Does anyone know if the Watford fans who were going to AFC travelled all the way down? Wonder if they went to see Franchise when they knew it was off...
Wallingford drew 0-0 which is good!!

Yet another match called off due to the lovely British weather(!!) We made our way back home with our spirits very low - and that's an understatement! Encouraged by the fact that there are only two days to go until the Chipstead match - all fingers crossed, please, that the weather doesn't mar THIS one! Since Christmas has now passed, I'd like to wish the club and all its fans - especially you, Paul - a very prosperous 2003!

Thanks for your Xmas SMS msg. There is a excellent full page interview with our Terry in The Crawley Extra/Observer this week with a picture from the Merstham game.
It's a bugger that todays game is off. I wonder what chance there is for Saturdays game with all this rain?

Mark - The way I read it it's 800 in the West Bank and Groslch stand and 500 in the Open End all they are saying is once you are in that area you have to stay in it so no swapping ends at half time.
Paul Raymond (webmaster@itmustbedons.com)
Tooting, London England - Thursday, December 26, 2002 at 00:46:36 (PST)
seems like only 800 standing tickets tomorrow! Cant see why the Police wont let us down the away end but then again how will they know we dont support the away team! Cant see there being 500 of them either!!
PS Merry Christmas Paul, great work.

Worrying announcement by Fulham yesterday. They moved out to share someone else's ground as a 'temporary' measure, but now, on reflection it might be a little difficult to return home as the cost is 'prohibitively expensive'. They will have to explore other 'sensible options'. Of course it is the local residents fault (who have failed to block the cottage redevelopment). Does anyone think this sounds familiar? Will Fulham fans soon find that the 'sensible option' is a 140 mile (or more?) roundtrip for a home game? At least Fulahm fans cannot say they weren't warned.

harlow, - Monday, December 23, 2002 at 14:57:27 (PST)
Paul, re the 100pts, I would expect us to get this as (i) 12 of the 17pts we dropped in the 1st half were from the first 7 games & (ii) we have played the three stongest teams away, all of them inflicting defeats on us, and I think we should be able to reverse these results at home. Although this suggests we would exceed the 100pt mark, my forecast position is only 3rd. Have a great Christmas.

Thats reassuring about T&M's ground. As I said in my first post, I have not been to the ground but was told there was not much cover.
john ((womble@aol.com))
mitcham, - Monday, December 23, 2002 at 13:27:48 (PST)
Anyone think we can make the 100 points mark this season we are on 52 after 23 games halfway point and would mean that we can drop 17 points in the next 23 games, any views?

I am not quite sure what ALAN & JOHN are going on about. Have a look at teh T&M website. The ground looks very smart with rooves at either end. Yes the side for standing is narrow and without a roof but presumably could be improved. The whole design is is far beyond the Knight of the realm who built the dreadful Millennium Bridge certainly far better than the Grolsch stand at Kingsmeadow. To me this is not a bad move at all and am looking forward to it.
Richard B another Wiltshire Don
- Monday, December 23, 2002 at 03:58:35 (PST)
The important word in my post about T&M is "may" so far nothing has been signed so the reports saying we "will be" at T&M next season are wrong. All I would say is that I am sure that the Board of the Dons Trust and AFC will do the right thing.
Paul Raymond (webmaster@itmustbedons.com)
Tooting, London England - Monday, December 23, 2002 at 01:06:33 (PST)
But what if Brentford does NOT want to move to Kingsmeadow. We might move to a worse ground without need to. The pros and cons need to be discussed in an open and logical way.
john (womble@aol.com)
mitcham, - Sunday, December 22, 2002 at 13:15:52 (PST)
Next time I get a chance I will go to T&M but the picture seem to show a partly covered end. Dont forget one of the reasons this may come about is because wwe are kicked out of Kingsmeadow (for brentford to move in) so it's alright saying I like Kingsmeadow but we might not have a choice.

- Saturday, December 21, 2002 at 15:27:28 (PST)
I have never been to the new Tooting's ground (only Sandy Lane). I have been told, however, that there is no covered end. This worries me alot because any atmosphere will be rather lost - a bit like the old selhurst days when we had no roof. Can anyone tell me if this is true. If it is then I think we should get planning permission for a covered end if possible. Also we dont want our wives, girlfriends, children, OAPs, etc getting soaked every time it rains!

Tooting, London England - Friday, December 20, 2002 at 11:50:21 (PST)
Paul, I've looked on the official site about getting to the ground for the Walton game tomorrow but it only mentions the bus plus that the nearest rail station is Hersham. Is our only option to get the train from Wimbledon to Hersham, then the bus? I remember doing that last time and the buses were one every hour with the one we needed, cut out so we ended up having to get a cab. Any suggestions as to how to make the journey easier?
Debs
- Friday, December 20, 2002 at 07:25:59 (PST)
Paul - I told Ken what you said about Anne Eames having some tickets at the Walton match and he said "ask Paul what Anne looks like!" We can't remember! Will have to dig out our photos taken at the karaoke when Terry and Anne did "You're the one that I want"!

Mark Yeadon, Know what you meant ref: 3,500 capacity but having looked on the Web site it looks really well designed and seemingly bigger than the 3,500 stated. The ends are big if the side a bit narrow but presume expansion would be no problem. I think it could be an excellent next step taken.

I know you'd never ignore me Paul - you're too much of a gentleman! Thanks for asking Anne about the tickets for BoBo's which we can get when we go to the Walton game and thanks, too for letting me know about Robbo - what a relief he's OK! Keep up the good work on your website, too! Seeya soon!

hi guys
just looking around the web and stumbled across this site. Personally i dont know much about your team so your site was great!! dont know if you'll be interested but i've got a football forum for fans to discuss their teams. i know that all the people on there only know of Franchise FC and not the real dons and would be interested to see how your coping with the sudden switch from Division one to the CCL. if you fancy popping along then please do - its at http://soccerworldforums.cjb.net/ or feel free to delete this post straight away as i know some people are a bit picky about links to other site being placed around.
hope to see you on there spreding the word about the dons

Tooting, London England - Monday, December 16, 2002 at 01:24:08 (PST)
Mark - From reading other sites Brentford dont have to confirm to the Football League until after our deadline to advise where we will/can play so a) we have something in reserve and reach the required Ryman criteria b) If the owners of Kingstonians up the rent by too much we could in theory say thanks but no thanks and go elsewhere.

Tooting, London England - Monday, December 16, 2002 at 01:05:57 (PST)
Capacity at Kingsmeadow is 4,215. Seats are already sold out (about 1,100) and I think there are about 800 terrace STs. Therefore there are 2,000 odd terrace tickets available. I reckon we sold at least 500-1000 from the kiosk on Saturday. I'd advise anyone to contact/mail the club to get their tickets in advance to avoid disappointment. A sell-out would be brilliant!

I try not to criticise the refs. as it is all too easy and mistakes are only natural but the one yesterday was verging on the corrupt. He was incredibly one sided and again we had a player sent of for 2 nothing offences. You would normally expect a crowd to intimidate them into becoming 'homers' but this seems to work totally the opposite way round in our case. To think he did not want to even give a freekick to us when Kevin Cooper was sandwiched and pushed before the first goal. I hate to say it but a really pitiful performance and so one sided throughout.

I don't want to keep harping on about this, I think the MOTM is a brilliant idea and always interesting to read, but which 12 people can possibly have voted for Joe Sheerin on Saturday. He played for 30 minutes, was ill and I am sure by his own admission had a nightmare! Is someone trying to rig this?!?

From Sunday 8th Dec. A message, as sent to me from a friend of mine in Germany…
‘Hi Steve! Believe it or not, but today AFC Wimbledon was quite an important issue in German TV. How the fans made a pubjoke become a reality and so on. All the disappointed supporters were heard, but you.....! Although this is not an issue for us here, we really pay our respect to the fans of AFC W.
It was on SAT1, the German channel showing Bundesliga on ‘free’ TV. The feature was about 7 or 8 minutes long and showed the chairman (unemployed) and a secretary (also unemployed) doing the day to day business. First did make some statements concerning honesty to club and fans related to business aspects. Generally the outcome was to favour the AFC and to condemn the FC Wimbledon’. It’s good to know that bending a few ears to friends and anyone else who’ll listen about the new Dons seems to propagate more and more interest about the club and the fantastic achievements of all those involved. I haven’t seen AFCW for a few weeks, 3 weeks ago I was in the Maracana, Rio , capacity 125000, attendance 12020 (Franchise proportions!). Roll on Saturday, to the real home of football….!! Hope some of those ‘AFCW owners’ fleeces are left!?’

where do you think you will come this season?
considering wallingford have 3 games in hand so they could be on 51 and withdean have 5 so they could be on 53 with the same amount of games as you have played.

It's interesting to look back through the MOTM votes this season. Goalscorers in any particular match frequently seem to have won those votes. Perhaps that's not surprising and there's no doubt we've needed Cooper's goals this season, but without Robson's industry on Saturday we could well have lost. Our defending remains naive and badly organised and Passmore just doesn't get into games, so a lot of responsibility falls on Robson's shoulders.

Still this bias towards forwards should not surprise me as Joe Sheerin has already 4 votes and he should have been in bed withj a hot waterbottle.

- Monday, December 09, 2002 at 02:08:22 (PST)
Some good comments this weekend. Totally agree that Neil Robson was clear man of the match. How many people vote purely on the list of goalscorers?!?
The defending of corners was quite dreadful and when you look at 5 of th 6 goals we let in at Wallingford and on Saturday you really wonder what is going on. A few weeks ago Tony & Mark looked really solid but the last 3or 4 games have been a total mess.
Also see Lee Passmore has a MOTM vote...nice to see he clearly has access to the internet.

Brixton, - Sunday, December 08, 2002 at 14:21:57 (PST)
2 things. Firstly I would agree that defending free kicks and corners needs to be worked on and we look dodgy with balls whipped in. I think the last 4 goals have all been from corners! Secondly I have heard that one of the Enfields might pack in next year. If this is the case then another place will be open in the Rymans and therefore its imperative that we keep momentum going looking for at least 2nd spot in the League.

ED - Pleased you enjoyed your trip south and the AFC experience. Regarding "WAW" Phillo usely gives it a spin either about 10 minutes before the teams come out or at the end of the game but I do know what you mean.
Paul Raymond (webmaster@itmustbedons.com)
Tooting, London England - Sunday, December 08, 2002 at 13:39:00 (PST)
Really enjoyed my first taste of the AFCW experience yesterday, and I'm sure uncle Stelios and his little orange planes will fetch me back for more! It was nice to see a few familiar faces with smiles on them again although I thought I had jinxed us after 20 minutes! Watched the FA cup draw today and with a few balls left, Franchise, Arsenal and Man Utd were still in the hat - old CK must have been rubbing his hands. Let's hope that Rotherham can complete a nice cup double. Did anyone else hear Sam's comments that he sees the FA cup as a chore "like paying taxes it's just something you have to do". Hmmm, don't remember him saying that in '88 when it netted him a few bob. I was a little worried that watching AFCW just wouldn't be 'the same'as watching 'my Dons', but the atmosphere and the commitment of the team were superb and all my worries vanished. Would have been nice to have heard 'We Are Wimbledon' for the teams coming out though.

Chumleys rocked on Saturday night - unfotunatley Phillo couldn't make it but almost 95% of the rest of the crowd was afc I reckon we could well of had over 100 people in there last night mental - Oh Jill nothing really happened we just decided on your top 3 :) Also as a non drinker I told "AFC No 2" to get drunk for me.

Can't believe that Coops is ahead of Robbo in the MOTM award. Is there anyway that Mr Peach can bi-pass the webmasters attempts to stop multiple voting? Like Sean I had a great day in the sponsors lounge, I'd strongly recommend any group of Dons fans to give it a go.

Fantastic result again yesterday. I'm going to be watching the Chessington & Hook game today on video - the one that we were gutted to have to miss!!

Great game but defending corners worries me. Might be wrong but there are a number of problems in this department such as:
1)We dont attack the ball
2)We dont attack the second ball
3)Shimell looks a decent shop stopper but less able in the air
4)Sometimes no-one gets in front of attacker on near post eg first goal
What do you lot think?

As I said on the W&WW site I stand by my comments that if Koppelshite and the Nogs left tomorrow and a new owner took Wimbledon back to London (south refered) tomorrow then I for one would be 110% behind them aswell as AFC, I can't and won't forget the team that I supported so whole hearted for so many years. I truly not interested in Franchise as the whole sitiuation depresses the hell out of me, I'm V proud of the AFC team and the staff who have worked so hard to form it but I can't help the way I feel...I wil always blame the FA for this mess
