Spit, it's 12* and Kidderminster, D&R and Torquay in NLN/S.

Yes 6$m, I forgot we will relegated from old 3rd division twice

Airsy beat me to it by 17 seconds.

The argument against three up (and down) is that it will encourage more owners to invest silly money in player budgets in non-league

Isn't it four relegations? In the WFC era we went down in 1980, 1982 and 2000. My view of what happened in 2002 is it wasn't a relegation but us starting a new club from scratch so Wimbledon could still have a football club, so definitely not a relegation. Then AFCW got relegated in 2022.

RK - we've been relegated 4 times in that period (1980, 1982, 2000 and 2022)

11 ex league teams in the national league,they deserve an easier return with 3 up

And it doesn't solve the big problem of our operating losses but does give us a good chance of avoiding administration in 2027

Bring back voting for promotion...

That's a really positive update on the bonds. I had though redemption next year to be around £2m to £2.5m as that tranche included a lot of non Wimbledon supporters iirc. And frankly, amazed that further demand @ 4% is £3m

$6m, seen the three Southern league titles plus the four you mention, so seven titles and three relegations*

Thank god they invented the playoffs eh?

As let's face it 4U4D is a hangover from the old days of the top two divisions having 22 teams in each with 24 each in the lower two

I became a supporter in 1977 but I was too late for the Southern League triumphs, so I have only witnessed us winning 4 titles in almost 50 years (4th Division in 1983 in the WFC era and then the Combined Counties in 2004, the Ryman 1st Division in 2005 and then the Conference South in 2009 in our current AFCW guise. Winning another one seems a long way off.

Spit-why? Even we could score against the likes of Altrincham and Forest Green

I'd be quite supportive of a sudden rule change in the next few days for 3 up-3 down between Leagues 1 and 2

3 up 3 down the way to go,teams in the national.league on 107,105 and 92 ,deserve to get promotion

But we might need it to get back up ;)

Looks like i was well out, happy 50th birthday Dons outlook (not Andy he is younger than that:-)

I don’t support 3 up 3 down as we could go down because of it!!!!

4% doesn't sound particularly enticing though, considering you can get a 1-year fixed rate bond for 4.6% with just a minimal bit of Googling.

Will be finding a pub in Wigan with a DAZN subscription so I can watch the big Rochdale v York promotion decider. Nothing against Rochdale at all I’d be delighted if they got back into the league via the playoffs* but I’ll be backing York to get the automatic promotion spot.

Yeah not got a problem with the bond to pay bonds scheme like I say not exactly inundated with alternative options right now. Those who wish to stick their money in the pot good on em.

In fact Dons outlook probably started in 1976 as charlie Addiman wrote a bars and bogs guide to the southern league for 76/77

Morning all. TF - I wouldn't particularly read too much into the status of any (non) progression in that update. These things take a good while at the best of times, and you're not going to get a running commentary until something tangible happens.
