Wiltshire Don,I see where you are coming from I too have supported the dons for many years but the main difference betwean you and me being I am standing up and being counted for my team, it is time to kick the apathy into touch get angry and do the simple things that will make a difference, stop buying the official programme christ Koppell is so worried about Yellow and Blue that he even annonced over the tannoy not to buy it, dont but anything out of the club shop, yes!!! I, and many more fans want the new Yellow strip but we must stand firm, it is difficult and if you and any pro MK people have any doubts about Koppells mission after the nielson saga well I am afraid that you are a lost cause, as Junior Don points out 20,000 would be great I do not think we will get 15k for most games but look at Charlton and what they have achieved so come on kick apathy and Koppell into touch get behind the REAL supporters

Junior Don. I'm afraid I have to agree with all Stuart has posted.Regretable as it is we have people owning the club who have one thing in mind and that is business and have no passion. I would love to see the Dons playing in Merton once again.I have supported the Dons for close on 40 years and in that time I have seen good and bad times. Even in the good times at Plough Lane attendances never got much above 10,000 in the old 1st div and then only for the big clubs. So I just don't see where you think all these "new/dormant" fans are going to come from. And no it wouldn't be better in MK, most likely worse, but can't you see, bottom line, it wouldn't cost the Nogs anything to go to MK and that's the problem we have.As sure as hell they aint going to cough up to buy land and build a stadium in Merton or anywhere else for that matter without a guaranteed return and thats another. I suppose if they were guaranteed attendances of 20,000 and a place in the Premium League, things might be different!!!As I see it the only way we will get back to Merton is if the club is sold to someone who is prepared to invest heavily and I can't see too many people who would do that. Can you?

Serious person - firstly, learn how to type. Secondly, if the club needs all the money it can get, why are pricks like Thorley, Davis etc still drawing dough out of WFC and wasting an obscene amount of money on Brunswick PR, who have (mis)handled people like Railtrack? With that sheer level of incompetence, why should people give ££ to the club? Also, I have noticed that there are far less new shirts about this season than at the same time last season (for the respective new shirts then) - or if they are selling well then few people are actually wearing them.

WELL SAID C.U.N WOMBLE. WELL SAID!!!!I urge everyone to do the same. DO NOT GO TO THE CLUB SHOP. YOU ARE GIVING MONEY THAT WILL GO TOWARDS FINANCING A MOVE TO MILTON KEYNES. Stu: we will sell out our first game. Its an 18k seater stadium, and the simple lure of a new stadium, as well as the high profileness of a return home after 13 odd years away...a lot of people will come. i am not living on cloud cuckoo land. No offence, but its people like you who hold us back.

Junior Don, I dont wish to sound rude, but you are living in cuckoo land!!!!! Unless Plough lane has a capacity of 10,000 will we ever sell out our first home game. We just havent the fans around to sell out a ground of 20,000 which we need at least. You say that Arsenal fans will come to us when they are away, how can you be sure of that??? If so why dont they go to Brentford, Leyton Orient or QPR??? I believe that with a good Marketing strategy once we get to the new ground we can get a decent support. I will love it when we get to Plough Lane, but I am being realistic, I think you should be aswell, otherwise you could be a little disapointed!! I am long in the tooth and have been long upset about our support, or rather lack of it!! What I will say though, is that there was no better feeling when we go to away games and we had only 60+ fans there but we sang as if our life depended on it. We didnt have a quantity of fans, just quaulity!!!!

Late Christmas shopping: why not buy some excellent quality WISA merchandise or if you want a mug I believe Yellow and Blue have some rather attractive "Show me the way to Plough Lane" ones. In either case this means no more money going towards barristers and Brunswick in Wimbledon fc(holdings) Ltd outrageous attempt to kill our Club. Sadly the same cannot be said about merchandise from the Club Shop, Koppel and Rokke want to show me my money is going towards a return to Merton then I lift my own personal decsion to not buy merchandise, the lies the platitudes the stupid propoganda then I'll just keep singing "We want Koppel out" and for that matterwhen he is going he can clear the rest of the blood sucking club killing vultures out.

Koppel has gone too far this time. It's bad enough he is killing the club off the pitch - but now he is doing it on the pitch as well. He must go. Regarding singing/chanting during games - you could not do the team a better favour now than calling for Koppel's head during the game - if you ever thought it was a bad idea hopefully you now realise it must be done.

Just to wish all fellow Dons supporters a Happy Christmas and a Great New Year. A 2002 that hopefully will see us turn the corner and kill off the MK thing once and for all. My biggest wish would be to see the back of the Nogs, somehow I might be thwarted in that one but maybe Father Christmas does exist. Then he could give us our best present in years. Cheers.

Stu: I disagree. A move back to Merton will bring a lot of extra support for us. I am 900% sure we will sell out our first game (and after that it will be a matter of making people come back)and if u had been at the WISA photoshoot (postcards) you would have known that EVERYONE in Merton (including non-dons) want to see us return. Firstly, the old dons (who are boycotting selhurst/who have given up on football due to disillusionment) will all return. Secondly, even those that support other teams such as Arsenal etc will happily come and see us play (when Arsenal are away or if they cant get the Arse tickets)because we will be their LOCAL CLUB (which we are not at the moment because we play in effing SE London). Also, Koppel says we are losing 100k per week...19 players out of contract and Hughes will be sold in the summer, that will take out at least 50k of it, and then there is Brunswick (which Koppel pays 200k per year)so there are many ways in which we can balance the books. Plough Lane is too expensive I hear you cry? No mate, there are many ways to reduce the price. All it takes is negotiations, and that is something Koppel is not willing to do. Why? Because he wants MK. Simple as that. Thats all he wants. And until MK is defeated, I will continue to chant for his head DURING the game (it does not affect the players as Forest showed). Paul R: sorry for swearing in my last post. It was an accident dude.

Surely now after todays game all the pro mk brigade realise what Koppell is doing to our club how can you loan a player to one of our opposition and even worse let him play against you poor old TB he must be gutted I was one of the many who wanted him out but I have been proved wrong but what do's he do, resign? or continue to be Koppells puppet

I dont understand how we can be so sure that a new ground in the Borough will all of a sudden attract loads of new fans. It will attract say at the most a 1000 on the first season but it will be gradual. Just a quick point on free tickets. The club still do free tickets through the Football in the Community, but its ok giving free tickets away, but you cant do it every game and how many of those free tickets come back and pay through the turnstiles??? I dont mean to be sarcastic, just a little realistic. I am all for going back to Plough Lane, but I think that once we get back we still have a long way to go, and lets face it, we will not be offering Premiership Football. On the 100k loss a week story, Figures can be misleading, but I cant agree with the gentlemen who says that once these high earners leave we can be level and not lose any money. We still have to pay a squad and we cant always fall back on the youth system. It is getting harder now with all this high budget Youth academies. Also how can we go and get a loan from the bank for the ground. Would they be brave enough to lend us so much with no real assets???

Stuart D just picking up on your comments re losing money from about a week ago - If you believe what Koppell says and we are losing £100k a week then think of it this way - 1)end of this season we have 19 players out of contract!, Ainsworth earns £14k a week app and Thomas £8k a week app and Selley £5k a week app that is £27k a week back plus 16 other players and the money they are earning - all that will total over £100k a week (granted we have to get replacements)2) why are we doing NOTHING to attract new fans? no tickets to schools nothing of any note to the local community - how are we ever going to get more of the paying public to watch us if we don't try to encourage them? 3) when clubs get a new ground do they pay for it all up front? of course not - you get a loan from the bank and pay it monthly - with a trimmed down squad and better marketing and the bringing through of quality youth players there is no reason why WFC shoulkd have any financial problems - we are essentially a small club which has gone too far too soon and not capitalised on 10 years in the top flight when the industry was booming - it is only now we are seeing the effects

Simple answer on the Man Of The Match go to the news section and cast a vote :) - Posted by webmaster
Stu - no, I don't think we'll make a profit - but I don't think it will be the £5-£6m loss Koppel keeps spouting about either. What happened to the £20m from player sales? Re: protests and stuff - I know how you feel about this - but perhaps you can take the comments from Terry yesterday as proof that protests do not have a negative affect on the team. Despite repeated requests over the years to move some, if not all of the fans to a different stand with better acoustics - Wimbledon FC Holdings Ltd (I refuse to use the word 'club' from now on) have never helped us on this. This sort of thing will continue - and I believe it has to be done during the game (especially when televised). Massive thanks to Ardley for this show of support to the fans in the AW - although he will probably get a smacked bottom for it.

- Monday, December 17, 2001 at 03:11:31 (PST)
Ronan, I understand what you say about the money sitting in an account for a new stadium. But do you honestly believe that we will make a profit this year?? I am no accountant but I cant see how we can make a profit on our attendances. It was the same yesterday, It was a high profile match with the excellent support from other clubs from Fans United, but as per usuall, we cant even attract fans from our own area, which as before always upsets me. We will only attract new fans once we get back into the Premiership. No-one will bother to watch Grimsby when they can go to another London Club and watch Man Utd or Newcastle. You can only really attract new fans when you have an exciting package to bring them there. Granted, that a new Stadium in the Borough will do that, but that could be a few years away yet and by then its to late. Thats why it annoys me that the protest sometimes has the wrong effect on home games. We should create a carnival atmosphere for the players during the 90 mins and I believe this would really change things at Selhurst. The protest should still go ahead but before, at half time, and after games. This division is shit, and we proved yesterday that we can beat teams at home and now that we have got our first home win for what seems like ages, we should build on it and get some good wins out of our next two home wins. Xmas is always an important time and the league can really take shape after the new year. I know people say the football doesnt really matter, but if everyone is serious about returning to Plough Lane, wouldn't it be better and sensible to return their with at least First Division status

What did Mellor say?

- Sunday, December 16, 2001 at 09:54:15 (PST)
Stu - yes, the club is dying - but short term solutions are not the answer to 112 years of history, to the family of four generations that watch the team in the main stand, to the Wimbledon fans who have supported their team through all the highs and lows (and boy, is this a low!). Remember the club have £35m sitting in a bank account earmarked for building us a stadium. And stop believing the accounts the club keep publishing - Koppel has alternatively said the club will die in one, two and three years - whereas Rokke says the club will be making a profit in a year - why, oh, why, oh, why have they not published the accounts yet? Bet you'll suddenly see them appear after the arbitration though!!! However - must agree with you about Mellor - he's a right koppel he is.
Ronan (rgwarde@ukgateway.net)
- Saturday, December 15, 2001 at 16:14:10 (PST)
Just a quick point I am curious about, people say that they would rather see the club die than go to Milton Keynes. The club is dying at the moment!!! That is the short term problem. The only thing I cant work out is that if Safeways agree to let us have the land at Plough Lane, where is the money going to come from to but the land and the new ground?? The club is broke, losing god knows how much money per week and also it seems losing fans coming through the turnstles. From what I have heard before on these sites, Koppell will not stump up millions and millions for a ground, so we are still in limbo!!!! By the way I am not slagging off anyone about the hard work done by Merton Council and WISA because I dont know about others, but It has really excited me this week to think that we could finally be close to moving home. Also, did anyone read the article in the ES by David Mellor?? If I met him in the street I would personally nick a car and run over him, then reverse over him to make sure he is finished of. What an ARSE!!!!

CUN - oh yes you are :) With regards to everything else, WFC going to MK will be the death of the club - period. You may claim that it will keep the business going. Yeah, it may keep WFC Limited going, but as far as the soccer is concerned, it will be no different to folding. Whenever they move a team here, they may keep the name but everybody knows it's a different team. Don't kid yourself that MK may save the club - it won't at all and will be delaying the inevitable (shit ownership doesn't become good)

VPOD, fair enough mate, your entitled to your opinion even if I don't agree with it, but to question whether the people that would rather see non league Wimbledon than Milton Keynes as real fans, is out of order. I would rather the club die than go to Milton Keyens, and then form a rea; Wimbledon
Matt (mattbtpl@aol.com)
- Friday, December 14, 2001 at 04:00:56 (PST)
VPOD: Personnally i agree with Ronan, the club as i know it will be dead from the moment relocation to MK or any other area beyond reasonable reach of its current fanbase occurs.
I do accept that there are people who, as you say, would accept MK as a last resort. It must be clear though that this is not what is happening. The clubs owners are addressing MK as its FIRST OPTION. They have made no effort whatsoever to investigate Plough Lane or any other site in Merton. They have refused to attend meetings to address this not only with WISA but Merton Council too. There is not enough space here to list all the history but if you need convincing contact WISA to view the documentary that was screened on Norwegian TV containing interviews with Koppel. He quite clearly and openly states " The club want to move to Milton Keynes". The owners want this to satisfy their short term greed rather than for the long term benefit of WFC or more importantly its supporters. I am not asking you to change your views but please do not pull out of supporting the campaign simply because you may disagree with others. Whether you would accept MK as a last resort or not i think you would agree that Merton should be the first option. We must force the Clubs hand in this.

VPOD - that's your opinion - but I assume I fall into the category that disagree. MK cannot be the *last* option for me. Sunday league football in Wimbledon, continuing 112 years of history certainly comes before that. That's just my opinion - just like you have yours. Plenty of people who would prefer NOTHING to exist at all, rather than see 'our' club play under a different name, crest and colours (yes - colours - see the TV2 interview)

Rich - My only gripe is that certain people (who shall remain nameless) seem to be under the impression that they would sooner have the club die than go to Milton Keynes. Well I'm sorry, but if MK is the LAST and ONLY way this club can survive (and I'll want some serious proof), then I'd understand it. However, when trying to explain this to *ahem* fellow supporters, I get shouted down. I'm not apathetic, just fed up of having to explain myself time and time again.

Paul, sorry to have a pop at other people on your guestbook but i could not let the two posts earlier today by VPOD and Johnny pass without comment. What are these people on? We could be within 4 weeks of losing our football club and these two seems to think the people they should be slagging off are our own supporters. Yes, we are reactionary - that is because there is a need to react. I really do dispair when i see so many people working so hard to make the demonstrations happen only to be greeted with such abject apathy. So, Johnny/VPOW, you may not transfer to the AW because you disagree with a few comments on a fans guest book - your choice - but before you commit to that have a think how petty your reasons may be in the grand scheme of things. The real enemy here is not your fellow supporters but the owners who will happily milk your loyalty and give you none in return.

I am starting to realise over the last couple of months that WFC have the worst supporters in the land! I don't know how we can slag off Spurs fans anymore?! For an example just look at the last 2 days of posting in W&WW GB. The "fans" in there are a disgrace to our great club! I for one (and many others) have now decided against sitting in the AW on Sunday due to Dons "fans" already slagging off other football fans. I think it is gonna turn very nasty due to the arrogance of the unfortunate majority of our "fans". Millwall, Chelsea, Rangers, Celtic, Brighton, these teams aren't gonna put up with the idiots we have at our club supporting us! It is about time people just learnt to get along because come Sunday, it is going to be a very poor turn out!

Oh, oh, here we go again - flaming etc. Again - just
for the record, the club tried to bar certain people from OWFF
meetings (even though they insisted on no preconditions). There
are a 'select' group of activists who are closely watched by the
club. I understand I am number six on the list (gosh, damn, boo!).
However, as I keep repeating, this is not about individuals, but
having a club for our grandchildren to watch. Secondly - it is
the WISA position that you can sit wherever you like on Sunday
- nobody is telling you to sit anywhere - you are simply asked
to join the 'other' fans in the AW. Anyone who says you are not
a 'real' fan, or anything similar is, IMO, a tosser. Now, back
to the important stuff. When I said to Dessie Byrne down the training
ground today I was looking forward to Sunday, he asked' what's
happening Sunday?'. 'Notts Forest'. 'Oh, yeah'. I'll have a report
(with photos) up later on the usual site. (http://www.wisa.org.uk/news/n20011211a.html added by webmaster)

Hey very pissed off Don maybe the reason I am not inside is becuase in the eyes of the laws of the Country I have done nothing wrong, What makes you so confident that is why the Club are after me. Maybe its because I am not afraid to speak out where others are, maybe its because in the words of our beloved Chairman" I have been more vocal than others in my oppostion to Milton Keynes". You have more faith than you should if you believe the Club will only feel threatened by criminal activities and that I am engaged in any.

Attended Leyton Orient V. Lincoln City in the FA Cup last Saturday hoping to see Wayne Gray and Mikele Leigertwood. WFC wouldn't let Gray play for fear of him being Cup tied, but Leigertwood played and was by far the best player on the pitch,looking several classes above the rest. He made 18 passes and only one went astray. Defensively he was rock solid. We're told that we are short of central defenders so the assumption has to be that he isn't considered 1st team class by TB.

Well, if said person is so wanted, how come he/she is not already serving time? Blimey, this isn't some 'Bill' storyline!! The time of pulling together, you say? Looks like certain Wombles are trying to pull us apart. Oh, and I'm reconsidering sitting in the AW having read W&WW's guestbook and posters atttitudes. I post on this guestbook because I didn't believe it was reactionary. I have been proved wrong. I'm sory you have to put up with these people Paul.

UEAWomble - no you don't. Most Div 1 away games are 'ticket
on the door' - so just turn up and buy a ticket. Everyone else
- make sure you read the Guestbook on the fans united pages (http://www.wisa.org.uk/fansunited)
- some excellent comments from other fans. 'pologies for link
Paul - but they really are amazing.

Neal Ardley is not out of contract because he signed a three year extention. Gareth Ainsworth is and I am not sure if u mentioned Kimble,because he is as well.

PAUL, on the list of the out of contract palyers as listed by your self would we actually miss any of them and what a saving there would be in salaries, finally I think that there has been a few words said that people probably regret so why dont we all stop and get behind Fans United On Sunday 16th

The 19 players out of contract I am not sure of all of them but IIRC it includes the following. Roberts, Heald, Lund, Thomas, Selly, Blackwell, Ardley, Kimble, Jupp, Robinson. The others being fringe/reserve players.

To Certian Unnamed Womble first of all can I say I was more than aware that you were not "untamed Womble" and it was a case of trying to get me and other to think it was you. I also am aware who you are and had a fair idea prior to your follow up post. I dont have time to follow W&WW guestbook that requires 24 hours a day reading :) and I dont look at SW19's guestbook. Hope that has cleared up the confusion.

Paul, thanks for the info about the party and Trond.I asked a couple of weeks ago who are these 18 or so players who are out of contract at the end of the season. Do you know? Just interested to see what sort of team we could look "forward" to seeing next year.Don't suppose the club would ever give out this info and the first we would know is when it appears in the paper.

Just for the record certain unamed womble and untamed womble are two different people. So if people are going to slag me off fine but dont assume I am responsible for theposts of someone else. Mr Raymond you definetely know me .Perhaps you would care to have a think about what I said in my previous posts as to why I am not using my real name at the present on anything relating to Wimbledon.

Paul - that explanation is too late to stop the news about our very own Scrooge making the national press :-) Graham - don't get your point - is it? - my 9 yr old wants something and even though its wrong he's got to have it? With the greatest of respect that is.

Well said Wiltshire Don. For the record - after being made redundant last january (and very happy I was too) - I have worked non-stop for WISA - without *really* looking for a job, or drawing the dole, and although I am now down to my last pennies, I will not rest until the dons return home. AND I am not the only one - Koppel picked the wrong f**kers to try and sh*ft.

About the christmas party i understand that rather than being the players party it was the office party and it has also been put on hold for the time being. I think Trond still has a bit of a knock and as for Andy Roberts it would appear that he has had a big time falling out and is now playing in the reserves, he is also one of the many players who's contract is up at the end of the season.

All seems to be getting very personal.Let people make their own minds up about things. How many of you slagging off Paul and Co work for a company who do things you don't fully agree with? Have you quit? Enough said.
I've read in the papers today about the players christmas party being cancelled. If that's true how pathetic and small minded can you get.OK we are the pits at the moment and its supposed to be some form of "punishment" but doing something like that is hardly going to help team spirit and moral which are sadly lacking at the moment. Still with everything that's going on at the moment should we be surprised.
See Anderson isn't in the squad today. Where has he gone? Nothing from the club as usual. And of course Andy Roberts.

What is that 'untamed' guy on? "Paying the consequences on judgement day"? WHAT? Sounds like the old nonsense that Sam used to come out with! What exactly are these 'consequences' anyway?

Dearest 'Untrained'( potty untrained ? ).I have been a Dons' fan for 38 years and my 9 year old son for 3 years. I don't want the club to go to MK and neither does he. BUT he wants the yellow away kit for Xmas and I'm going to buy it for him. Now, what do you have to say about it, hero ?
