And any other birders out there who may be interested of course.

RK, todays spot. Water Rail, being chased by a coot, on the lakes near to my soon to be former place of work.

AIW: the projector idea is a really nice one, and gets around the possible problems with permission. Guessing it would only work for night games though? Personally I would prefer a huge mural, giving the stadium a kind of bomboneira feel.

In my opinion we should have gave Kingstonian only the amount they were entitled to under a contract, and then gave a donation matching every £1, that the Kingstonian fans raised themselves to fund a new ground/buying Kingsmeadow back. So that would have been a £0 donation then!

They are the embarrassing half brother spawned by your (fa)ather after a drink and drug fuelled night somewhere dark. Hideous and foul and with no real friends and a dismal track record of failure in life

Oh I'm sure we will get years of "you killed kingstonian" from people looking for a reason to hate.

There is no doubt it annoys them more than it should that we have got the league place and the stadium back, hence they call us a pub team, and call us "AFC Kingston." From October onwards the AFC Kingston nickname will become irrelevant and that is the last line of attack they could have against us.

The thing between us and franchise is that in the early days we had the moral high ground and they had the stadium and the league place. Since then, however, we have got back both the ground and the league place have retained the moral superiority, basically because we have earned both rather than stealing them from others, so there is no real doubt that we have come out of this as the winners. I agree that the name thing is an albatross around their necks - I think that the main reason that they keep it is because they think that it annoys us but in fact keeping it does far more harm to them than to us but they don't see it.

TF - Have fun with your new telescope. I'll show you mine if you show me yours :) Skywatcher D=150mm F= 750mm. Got a pic of it somewhere. Will turn it out for you when time permits. Big brute. A tripod with azimuth makes things easier for following any particular star. You can get electric azimuths nowdays too. Been moving my room around this week. New position for the night vision scope, which hopefully has made room for the above telescope.

Spit-I said that months back the camera should be facing the big stand to make it look better but Trevor said it was done on cost grounds

Nice vid of the new training gear, the training top looks class jacket [Link]

Alan IoW - Like your projector idea. Imagining the TV cameras picking up 'Never forgive, never forget' when the scum squirm into town.

When we are live on TV there will be more than one camera so am sure ground will get a good viewing including West stand. When it is just football league goals on channel 5 at 3.30am, we will be the only ones watching so its ok.

Shame as grounds going to look quite pokey from the west stand on the TV.

Spit - Yes

The thing is about the MK Dons having the Dons in their name is that it is a bad thing for them, and is probably holding them back within MK.

Looking at what is on offer with the new stadium I am impressed with the quality being offered in Hospitality and other areas of the stadium because of the advantage of new build. I think we will be very proud of all that is being presented

Where will the TV camera's be recording.west stand?

Nah think all the right wingers have been hounded off here.

The wall should be used as the method of entry to the pitch for the team. Let the oppo come out of the tunnel then Captain Azeez and his dream team come abseiling down the wall to the Mission Impossible theme tune. 0-1 at home to Barrow.

Fran Who?

In regards to the wall. I would love to see projected onto it, the story, the people who made the journey possible, a memorial to the likes of Salad who isn't around to share in the celebration of achievement. The players, old and new that made Wimbledon the club it is. The wall can be a tool for good that needs just a projector and a pc to run the messages for the day.

Bring back Kyle, Yorkie and Square Nut Norris

Peoples obsession with franchise, .who care about them,I dont,why waste so much of your own time on them 😂

Forgiveness is overrated. I'll happily go to the grave knowing that I wouldn't piss on any of em if they were on fire.
