Title: AFC Wimbledon
Post by: Tails on Wednesday, April 30, 2008, 11:56:54
Could take another step closer to the football league on Saturday when they face Staines in the Ryman League Premier Division play off final. This would leave them only 2 promotions away from the FL.

Good luck to them, great set of supporters who deserve some success.

I personally think that other than the hardcore few who got it started, most them are bandwagon fuckers just like MKD but the opposite, people who like the notion of what AFCW are doing but were never Wimbledon fans.

I look forward to the day that AFC beat Mc Dongs.

That Manure ‘toys out of pram when the gnome arrived’ incarnation are also doing well.

Good luck to the AFC though it would be nice to see them get a step closer to the league.

WTF? How is it in the slightest like MKD?

You might think that but it's simply not true. They took pretty much the entire fanbase - bar a couple of hundred who went to Franchise - and they've stayed loyal ever since. Which is why they were getting gates of 2000+ in the Combined Counties League and still are in the Ryman.

They've got 4000 a couple of times too, that is amazing for the level they are.

Love them to go up to the conference soon, then the pox won't be able to bang on about their amazing support.  Which in truth has been impressive this season.

Its only been impressive cos they were all bleating about how they were going to romp the league.

How wrong they were  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :beers:

Cunts.

I went to AFC Wimbledon's first home game at Kingsmeadow wearing my Swindon scarf, and I've been watching out for their results ever since.  Aldershot is the blue print.

Thing is, even if it was bandwagon types who supported them, at least they've worked their way up the ladder, like any new club should.

Isn't Luke Garrard with them? He was a good player for us..

Surely if you were up for joining a bandwagon you'd be supporting Chelsea?  what an odd bandwagon to choose, a non league team.  It's not really a bandwagon is it.

Fair play to them,nice if loyalty is rewarded.

Garrard started breaking into the team under King but rejected a contract to move back down to London nearer home due to personal reasons.

And so Wimbledon are one step closer to the league after beating Staines 2-1 today!  :D

A lot of my family support them so dead chuffed for them - I reckon we'll see them in the Conference within 2-3 years now!

Congrats to them anyway!  :beers:  :beers:  :beers:

Yeah, dead chuffed for them. Two promotions away from reclaiming the League place that was stolen from them. If only Franchise would implode in the meantime

Has anybody read the article in 442 this month regarding Franchise. Just looking at it made my blood boil.

Bunch of cunts.
