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

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.

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.

I wonder has the deal been signed or will someone see sense ?

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.
