Nick I think the vote will pass and therefore if it doesn’t actually convert it will be because SSC are blocked from buying. If so the same would apply in administration.

Or another football club or rugby club would buy it and we'd have to plead with them to let AFC Wimbledon Mk 2 play there or at some other ground. I can see no upside to administration at all, compared to a transaction that we negotiate for ourselves.

Might buy it out of administration, I mean...

Nick: And not impossible that someone might be it in order to get their hands on the freehold of PL for development purposes rather than for the sake of owning a football club.

Nothing to do with the game but how would I add a photo from my phone to a posting?

Sorry Trig, but I have only just got back up off the floor….

A very likely outcome of administration would be that SSC (or one of the other 19 less desirable bidders) acquire 100% of the club, ground etc from the administrators and just have full control going forward- the DT would have lost its shareholding and wouldn’t be able to set any sort of conditions for the acquisition (and tge administrator would only be interested in maximising recoveries for the debtors and certainly would have no interest in doing so).

Just watched again, he blew before the foul for maybe an earlier foul by Johnson as the player had no advantage then bottled it. Bursik would have stayed on due to the proximity of our defenders when the "foul" was committed.

It also looks like the ball went out of play on the footage

a4e, it is indeed. Appalling decision.

From where I was (near away end) the ref blew while the ball was in play. His pointing suggested that he had given us a free kick.Then I realised he had given the goal. That's worse than the worst Sunday morning reffing. I can only assume he gave the goal to avoid making a decision on "a clear goalscoring opportunity".

Sorry if AR, but it’s very clear from the video footage that the referee blows his whistle loudly before the the Wycombe player puts the ball into the net, possibly even before Bursik brings their player down - I don’t know what the rule is, but I thought a whistle meant the game is stopped, no?

Bush the main reason is that it was communicated by the DTB in the investment meeting that we run out of money in 4-6 months. Previously they had said that we would need a relatively expensive bank loan so the lesson here is the DTB cannot be trusted to give members reliable information hence why everyone’s out there trying to work stuff out for themselves.

yeah it's defo not admin in 6 months if deal isnt passed. We'd slash costs, find a commercial loan, get begging bowel out yadda yadda.

Bush i am guessing we will make that bond payment with the £1.1 million raised plus the Nkeng money. However, it says in the info pack: 4–6 months until the club's professional viability is at risk without a new model. Even if that is a little creative, it is obvious we cannot go on like this. The best case scenario with a no vote is that in 6 months time we will have another investment option to vote on and it will likely not have as good terms as this one.

There is one game every season when it just pisses it down and doesn't stop and we all get drenched. Good that we have got it out of the way and it's still October. Would have taken 1-1 before the game and probably a fair result overall. Haven't seen their goal back but apparently it had gone out of play. Also if the ref blew his whistle then surely it should have been a pen unless he played advantage retrospectively? Our players seemed to stop when he blew the whistle

Can someone explain why administration in 6 months is a seeming (?) inevitability? Is it linked to the upcoming bond repayments? It sounded like we needed to raise £1.7m for that and managed to raise about £1m, I think. Is that deficit the main (short-term issue)? There's obvs been lots of talk about our financial challenges but it seems a bit like the 'administration in 6 months' line has sprung up quite suddenly.

Get the sense that it’s the fan owned stalwarts and happy clappers that are most anti this deal.

Did you tell your WhatsApp mates that administration would be the other option in 6 months Timmy?

I think that even if there’s not a single new piece of information between now and the vote closing that it will pass.

Glad to listen to a few people today - all said they (and their mates) were voting “yes”

WhatsApp group with my mates today (non wim fans) and they are astonished that with our history we are opening ourselves up to this again. Im starting to have doubts about my Yes stance :-(

I don’t disagree NickW. Really want this deal to be legit and to pan out that way.

Ian from what I can ascertain the theory is go into administration this season and take the points hit = guaranteed League 2 football next season and then draw a line under everything else and become a privately owned club like everyone else other than Exeter. Please note this is not a position I currently support but I do understand the thinking however difficult it is to stomach wishing administration on your own club. I can never even place a bet on us to lose when I know we will.

The Woking one speaks the truth!
