overtheborder Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 12 minutes ago, westlondonfan said: The problem for us,or most of us on this forum, is that we don’t really know what the real financial arrangements were and are at Barnet, Trailfinders or Plough Lane so it’s hard to know what is really driving these decisions. All I can say is that I liked the match experience at Ealing and I don’t think many people will come to watch a team at Wimbledon just because they can look at an new empty stadium on the other side of the ground. To get any sort of momentum going we will need a very successful team. I'd further that by saying (as an outsider looking in) that staying in one place for a while might help in terms of attendances - for me a team that constantly moves about just looks unsuccessful and unattractive to the casual fan/neutral. That said I like London as a club and genuinely want them to be successful so not a dig at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why we keep moving is, genuinely, a mystery to me, hence my comments that we don’t really know the real reasons for each move. The Wigan v Catalan match at Millwall shows we could be getting more paying spectators than we are getting at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLANTISMAN Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Looking at my rugby league and cricket diary for 2022 i can only make 3 London Broncos matches as mainly will be at Dragons or Toulouse or up north a few times. Bonus for me i will 100% go to the Cornwall v Cougars match on June 12th or the day before as will be in England that week before heading off for a week in Amsterdam Holland v England 3 1 day internationals. Rugby League and Cricket the perfect mix:)))) Paul 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can’t decide whether to fully embrace the Dons angle or not… so you have a blue and yellow kit for ( for one year only) launch but still with a red logo/badge and all other marketing in red.

Jughead Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 The unveiling of the new shirt was a little underwhelming. I know Offiah played for London but given the new ground, era and new colours, surely they could have got a current and/or former Wimbledon player involved and even announced it, paraded the shirt at an upcoming Wimbledon (they may be planning this) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but they are meant to be a London team so tying themselves to a League 1 doesn't seem like a good idea in the long run. Maybe they'll rename themselves to Wimbledon eventually.
