Title: Puffet/ Hunt buy Hunt's Copse....... Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, June 16, 2005, 15:13:57 .......not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but feel free to remove if it has, but it seems to me quite significant that a consortium, which includes two of our more recent chairman....have bought a chunk of land( 7 acres) and a stadium at Hunt's Copse....for use by Supermarine.
Could this be the start of the end game for football at the CG.....we know without redevelopment the club goes to the wall, but will the aforementioned gentlemen, step in and try and keep the name alive....and work back through the pyramid, it would certainly be an option.

Cliff Puffett always stuck me as a decent bloke who loved the club, which makes it all the more surprising that he's in partnership with a tool like Hunt. Title: Puffet/ Hunt buy Hunt's Copse....... Post by: Asher on Thursday, June 16, 2005, 15:27:24 Cliff is one of my clients I will have a word

SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, June 16, 2005, 15:31:21 After the initial heart ache, wailing, gnashing of teeth etc which would ensue following the club's demise (IF that were to happen, but let's face it, it could) I think it would be fantastic to start again with a clean slate and do an AFC Wimbledon, having 4 or 5 years storming through the Pyramid back into the football league. It would be like the Macari years all over again.
I know a couple of AFC fans and they are LOVING it! Title: Puffet/ Hunt buy Hunt's Copse....... Post by: Batch on Thursday, June 16, 2005, 15:46:31 Where is Hunt's Copse?

7 Acres is a lot for a club the size of Supermarine. i wonder what additional projects are planned? Title: Puffet/ Hunt buy Hunt's Copse.......

Some sporting facilities (one of those big inflatable tents to create an indoor training arena on grass I believe, think West Brom have one) and some community facilities.
