Interesting that Wimbledon fans are consulted (quite rightly since the fans trust owns the ground) but Broncos fans are told virtually nothing.


Quite rightly, being a trust, St Helens never consulted fully on their move, to a ground with little car parking close to the ground, and the nearest multi storey car park which many friends used has just been demolished? Unbelievable that the builders of the ground, have land rugh5 by the side of the ground, which has boarding all around, and it's never been used??

Fulham fans haven't been able to afford to live in SW6 for decades. 2 Season Ticket holders next to me come from Reading & Norwich.

Anyone else think the bit in the club statement about lavishing praise on community owned & run AFC was a bit contrary to their apparent view of LBSA & their aim?

I have lots of admiration for AFC, they dropped down to the lowest level in the football pyramid and worked their way up. The difference between AFC and LBSA, AFC had thousands of fans pumpimg money into the club which enabled them to purchase the Kingstonian ground which in turn helped them to get back to Plough Lane. I do not know and can not understand where LBSA are going to get the money from to purchase the club as Broncos only have hundreds of fans on a good day.

Dons also have some very wealthy people involved in the Trust. A key figure gave up his job to to involved. That's not a criticism, it is to their credit they have made the model work.

It's often viewed as you have either a wealthy benefactor or a Trust. However; there are several examples of clubs where the two have worked in tandem for mutual benefit. That is the model that may have worked at Broncos. However; we will never know
