OK guys, so the We Are Wimbledon Fund has been relaunched (wearewimbledonfund.com) with an All For One campaign urging fans to help boost the first team playing budget as we return to League One. We’re probably going to need all the ££ we can get. Of course, this won’t be for everyone - but if you are in a position to contribute, and would like to, then every donation could help make a real difference. The initial target is to give Johnnie and Craig £250k for the January window, and that has to be a decent player or two. Maybe even the next Ali?! Anyway, the idea is that lots of small amounts soon add up over the six months so fingers crossed we can make this happen. There will be incentives to donate along the way. Keep your eyes on social media (X, FB, Insta, Bluesky and TikTok) and the website wearewimbledonfund.com and do hit me up with any questions (well, questions I may be able to answer, please).

Hi Meadow - just tried the email address in your bio, but it says it’s invalid… Is it correct on there?

All over before it get too silly ...
RP - some definite mutual choices there (Yard Act, Fat Dog, and several others…), so will hook up - just need a way to find/identify you…. My son will most likely be wearing a Wimbledon top with War Child on for some of the time, especially as the festival has connections with War Child too… Feel free to add you email to your bio, otherwise maybe Meadow/Bert might be able to oblige and provide us with one another’s contact details if it’s agreed and doesn’t breach GDPR stuff… 😬

A4E yesterday... I'd be up for a beer in the Courtyard at some point(s). Clashfinder for Green Man has been updated and it looks like I'll be seeing Heartworms, Adwaith, Kneecap, John Grant, Wet Leg, Broadside Hacks, Gwenno or Melin Melyn, MJ Lenderman, Westside Cowboy, Fat Dog or Perfume Genius, CMAT, English Teacher or Richard Dawson, Iraina Mancini, Warmduscher, Yard Act, Beth Gibbons, TV On The Radio, Faux Real.

Palace will have a decent chance of winning that. Seems to go to the best English team

I think both ourselves and Doncaster Belles were far bigger injustices
Not sure why anyone would want to watch a friendly, especially in 31* heat.

Nice of AFCW to mention it on the OS...
I feel sorry for Palace but least the fans still get the chance to go to some interesting continental places. We also won the FA Cup but didn't get into Europe at all. Two wrongs don't make a right, of course, and we have both been hard done by.

I think we we would also have got into Europe after finishing sixth another season. We have a few "supporters" of other clubs to thank (sic) for all this.
Steve Paris obviously missed the moment when a club was stolen from its fans and moved 65 miles up the M1 🤷🏻♂️

Simmie I didn't know that. Their brief stay in the Prem will finance their new ground and good luck to them. However I want to visit Kenilworth Road before they move.

None of the tedious has-beens providing dubious post match analysis either back in the 1970s, although you could see signs of what was to come by The Big Match having studio guests. No such things as media training then. My word, some of them looked like rabbits in headlights and were almost shitting themselves being there. Having the guests sign an autograph book was a bit corny but shows how things were back then. At one point there was a telephone on Brian Moore's desk. I never saw him use it though. I did enjoy his commentary, even if he did seem like an excitable 10 year old at times. Shame he dies so young.

Meadow - don't think Luton's home tickets go on General sale? They mention a large season ticket waiting list...

JG- all a matter of opinion, you have yours, I have mine. Of course, in business “ambitious” and “aggressive” targets are basically synonyms for “unrealistic”

Still waiting for Luton tickets to go on sale. Then again they're not available for home supporters yet.

Tickets are going to be fun without membership this season... there's probably about 250 available in the membership window at best?

If we actually do well - and sustain it, we'll be back to being too big to fit in the ground...
I can't admit to a smooth transition from WFC to AFC Wimbledon. An occasional visitor to Plough Lane and Selhurst and didn't attend a match between 1997 and 2002. I did cry when we were relegated in 2000 and again when the three man commission approved the move. I didn't attend any of the PSFs in 2002. It was probably in September 2002 that I suggested to the eldest that we investigated the new Wimbledon. We were both hooked immediately.

Yes $6M and the commentators were so much better back then too. Brian Moore, Hugh 'one nothing' Johns, Kenneth Wolstenholme, Keith Macklin.

On another note, is anybody else watching the current series of The Big Match Revisited? It's on every Saturday morning on ITV4. They're currently showing the 1975-76 season and for each episode Dickie Guy appears in the opening credits. The next episode is tomorrow morning.

Technically, the quality of football, the state of the pitches, the views for spectators, etc., was far inferior to today but I still prefer watching it as it is just less boring and sterile. The next episode is tomorrow morning.
The cynical side of me thought the reason the club sold tickets for the Play Off Final internally rather than outsourcing it was it could capture details on all these new fans they could subsequently target, rather than missing out on all that data. The issue is what do you target them for? There is not much room in the ground for more home support, where 3rd division teams make most of their money, so what are you asking them for? Another plea for money?

Aside from buying a programme I spend zero in the ground. I buy my lunch while I'm on my pre-match hike, so there is little the club could do to incentivise me to spend more, as I only enter the ground at kick off. I stopped buying replica shirts in our non-league days so I'm not sure I can conceptualise how the average supporter spends £400. I appreciate my routine is unusual but that is what it is.
With 50,000 fans, a fair number will be female who are physically attractive. Therefore I propose to monetise female fans - the pretty ones, or at least ones with big jugs - to open accounts on OnlyFans and donate the proceeds to the club.
