Not quite sure why Hamman gets so much stick on here. He oversaw Wimbledon’s glory years and cared passionately about Wimbledon. He possibly had the foresight to realise that it is the essence of Club’s owning their own grounds that leads eventually to bankruptcy. I recently read that 70% of EFL clubs are running at a loss even if they paid their players nothing. A few hundred thousand pounds a year towards the cost of ground sharing seems perhaps in hindsight like a pretty cost effective and sensible idea, compared to the millions that it costs each year to own one’s own stadium.

Happy birthday Mr D.

Forgot. Happy birthday.

REPD - Same here. A watch is a watch. A Casio F-91W is around the tenner mark. Same thing without 'Casio' printed on it, eBay £3. Keeps good time. 'Tis all I require of a kettle.

Whoops- looks like Leddrede was right after all. BBC had shown England as winning the match, but no longer 😞

OI - to be honest, I struggle to pay more than £20 for a watch

Colchester Utd are struggling to find a buyer and we’ve got £86m being thrown at us but he who shall not be identified. SwinDon have danced around the pub for their new owner. Then hated their owner. Then loved their owner. Now are not exactly enamoured with their owner. All the same bloke.

And RIP Mikey. A true Wimbledon legend, the very essence of the club.

REPD - stopped at Clackett Lane for a piss & a cup of tea in your honour today 💙💛

If we ever end up in situation where history could repeat itself as it did with the original PL and Hammam, or the Norwegians/Koppel and MK it would be beyond extraordinary. Avoiding either of those situations has to be at the heart of any decision.

You'll have to prtend it isn't Longines Rob, otherwise replacing tha battery will be £70plus.

JJJJS - 4) I can't count and this interface is too small for my eyes

Happy Birthday REPD. I'm still waiting for point 4) from your post at 6.01 this morning ;)

$6m - Yup, and a few of us can add winning the Amateur Cup to that list too. Just when you think nothing else could come as a surprise, this happens. Totally at a loss what to make of it. Maybe I'll write to Charlie and ask him the sp on Dr Mir.

JJJJJS - esteemed company...

* EFL, not EFC

It's probably the same for supporters of all clubs but it's a terrible indictment on professional football in this country that most of the time you are either worrying about what owners are going to do or going bust when you should be just watching football. With the creation of AFCW I hoped we had left those days behind us, having had it worse than most and spent 11 seasons playing home games at somebody else's ground before losing our club completely, only to find ourselves back in the world about worrying about owners and selling out because we believe we will go bust if we don't.

We can’t be on the hook for any costs for a no vote. Not legally viable.

Happy Birthday to John Leslie, Jack Currie and Great Evans (remember him?) [Link]

DO: I've asked for clarification but I *think* that possibly only applies if we vote yes and then pull out. Not clear though.

LD - many thanks. Having read it, if members vote against it, AFCW plc are on the hook for all of SSC's (reasonable) costs as well as its own - bringing administration that little bit closer.

Leddrede spoke too soon.

Ah yes - many thanks

RK, is this what you're after? [Link]

Did everyone get their 60pg investor proposal pack? I didn't and have just emailed them ...
