AFC Wimbledon

[The Grockle]

The real Dons are second in the blue square south and are atracting home crowds of over 3000! In terms of attendances they are placed at 92nd biggest club in england!

It would be great if they could come back in to the football league and eventually take over MK dons but is the gap between regional conference leagues and the national conference too big? What do you reckon?

 

[Don Quixote]

they have alot of money, i rekon they will be up in league 2 before long and then who knows?

 

[Statto]

I dont think it is to big. Many teams have gone up and comfortably stayed up. Histon, Barrow, Salisbury, Kettering etc. I reckon they will be a league club in 4-5 years time.

Btw if they win their game in hand (which is tuesday i believe) they will be top on GD. They [play the season long leaders Chelmsford on saturday i think. Tiltle decider methinks.

 

[surrey jim]

good luck to them, I would assume it would take a couple of seasons in the Confrence before they mount a promotion push

That is a ridiculous suggestion! Why would they want anything to do with them? They are hardly economic rivals!

 

[otk]

Would be a shame if they get promoted to the BSP and Lewes get relegated to the BSS, as that is one fixture I'd been looking forward to for years...

 

[The Grockle]

It's kind of sad what happened to Kingstonian but it's great that the dons now have a home and it's not too far from Wimbledon. Did anyone go to the fa cup game in about 1996? They beat us 1 nil i believe!

Sorry that wasn't very clear, i meant take over them in the league!

wow, when im at Crawley we dont get more than 1600

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

i doubt they'll overtake mk dons any time soon, but i think they're capable of getting a place in the league

FC United a shooting up the leagues aswell

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

as are the mighty GATESHEAD

What league are they in at the moment.

2-1. 1995 i believe.

I've got nothing against Crawley at all and i would love to see them go up to league two but for a town the size of crawley their attendance is poor.

If they could attract a larger fan base they could be pretty successfull imo.

 

[beorhthelm]

they can definately do it with that sort of support base. where they go once in the FL is probably more open to question. good luck to them either way.

I think your right, i was only 12 at the time! bad memory.

Tuesday it is, up at Uncle C's place. Expect a massive crowd on Saturday then, at home to Chelmsford. I posted the table here (post #37)

but I'm not allowed to post it again. Why is that, Bozza?

Northern Premier league, Premier Div (feeds into Conference North).

 

[Paxton Dazo]

FC United's crowds are dropping already, I cannot see them being a League team in the near future.

Yes, I went down to that one (2-1). Police had truncheons drawn at the end.
I remember how huge the terraces were, but they afforded a poor view as they were too wide in comparison to their thickness.
