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.

And?
You post like you're in the know, but all you've done is shown yourself to actually know nothing more than anyone else
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.

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 :CRAZY:

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.
