AFC Wimbledon

[Salford Bee]

Also Afc Wimbledon won the game in question and the guy came on at 0-2 down scored and they won 4-3

Sunderland did not win so had no extra points to deduct !!!

They picked up one point from the four games.

Didn't one of our ex managers support us live on TV at a certain FA Cup game a couple of years back?

Don't like the Scousers but I will always cheer any team that plays that lot that deserted their club when they needed them.

Yep, to early to condemn the Dons but if they shaft K's they should be shunned from the football world like MK have (rightly) been.

 

[vcmazz]

Some did - namely those with no interest in the facts or the history of the matter.

K's would have been dead 10 years ago if Wimbledon hadn't have come along. I really don't get the anti-Wimbledon feeling on here. I like everything the club is. It's MK Dons I hate :shrug:. Kingstonian have certain rights on that lease and as I understand it Chelsea would have to honour them.

 

[Markybee]

Whyzat?

They are trying to piggy back the property development / new stadia wrangle of the Greyhound Stadium.

"Like everything the Club is"???!!!!

You mean people who cried when their Club folded (understandably)....but then are quite happy to straddle the complex ownership redevelopment (which requires a sporting side) at Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium, to close the stadium, cause redundancy and strip greyhound racing of the home of the Derby? (the place is currently a dump as Galliard Homes wish to redevelop there)...

I would call this complete and utter hypocrisy - and why on earth do they need a new Stadium? They will never grow their support.

No they wouldn't have been dead. No money from the sale of Kingsmeadow to AFC Wimbledon went to the club, it was sold for £2m (way above market value, as it can't be used for residential development) and all monies went straight into the pockets of Raj Khosla.

Kingstonian had the same amount of debt went Khosla left as when the new owners came in, so can people stop this b***ocks about AFC Wimbledon saved Kingstonian.

Hmm. This is grown up stuff. I don't really do grown up stuff. Your post is something I know nothing about and clearly comes from your extensive knowledge of the greyhound scene.

However, our club appears to be in the midst of some compulsory purchase order wrangles itself and when I posed a question on the morality of this on this very site, nobody chose to answer. Well not proprerly anyway. CBU might have said something about an exploding pitchfork laced in a nice burgandy. Rudolph Hucker might have claimed that nurse has advised him not to sell, but all in all the subject seemed a bit touchy for most. Dare I suggest that we are possibly stuck in the doorway of a glass house on this one? :suspect:

So Kingstonian could continue to afford the lease could they? No they could not. That's why they agreed to a reduced 25 year sub-lease which saved their arses. Who ever forced them to give up their lease?

 

[the brentforder]

I don't really understand all the fine details but if we were in Wimbledon's position people on her would be seeing things differently. Say if for whatever reason we reformed as AFC Brentford playing (for argument sake) at Wealdstone, would people on here be against a possible move back into brentford? Don't think so, so why are people against Wimbledon moving back to Wimbledon?

 

[vcmazz]

No money from the sale of Kingsmeadow to AFC Wimbledon went to the club, - Kingsmeadow was never sold. And if it had been, Kingstonian couldn't have expected any money from the sale as it belonged to (and still does), Kingston Council. it was sold for £2m (way above market value, as it can't be used for residential development) and all monies went straight into the pockets of Raj Khosla. No it wasn't. Kingsmeadow still belongs to Kingston Council. It was Kingstonian's lease that was sold by Mr Khosla who bought the club, the lease, and then decided to sell it. But if he hadn't, they were goners. He might be a c***, but they were in administration when he took his opportunity.

Kingstonian had the same amount of debt went Khosla left as when the new owners came in, so can people stop this b***ocks about AFC Wimbledon saved Kingstonian. It's ironic, but Khosla mugging them also saved them so I will continue with my b***ocks thank you.

No the Khosla's did this, he bought the club from the Administrator's for £500,000 (including the lease for Kingsmeadow which was valid until 2114 for a peppercorn rent from the council). Kingsmeadow lease now belonged to Khosla personally and not the football club, he then subsequently sold it to AFC Wimbledon for £2m.

He then granted a sub lease of 20 years to Kingstonian, charged them £10,000 per year, this would not have happened if the K's trust had not got involved. Khosla was happy for Kingstonian to be homeless and AFC Wimbledon were happy to be part of that by getting into bed with a crook to satisfy their own egos.

Right. Let's go back to the beginning of your post which is key here. He bought the club from the administrators ffs! K's were gone! He took advantage.

Crook? No. Clever? Yes. C***? Yes. No matter. Wimbledon's options? A) Be homeless - watch K's fold. B) Step in, have a home, K's survive. Sorry. F*****g stupid to blame Wimbledon for Kingstonian not owning the lease on their own ground - they'd alrady lost it!

They aren't. Its just the underhand way they are trying to benefit from another situation. No problems in them finding a stadium, or building one elsewhere but at the expense of another industry where there (let's make it clear) plans from Greyhound enthusiasts to develop a great new state of the art stadia with housing & local community benefits etc....

Nope, AFC don't give a damn. Want a new stadium, in Wimbledon and all for what? To go back to our "spiritual home" Fair enough but do it with pride, fairly and with credibility. Not some back door disgrace.

A F C. A Farcical Club.

Mark, are you seriously saying that Brentford hasn't, or would not consider, trampling on anyone who gets in the way of Lionel Road? That would be hypocrisy mate. As for Wimbledon never growing their support - we have spent the past 125 years playing in front of 5,000 fairly consistently. More than double this season so don't write off the mighty Dons hitting more than their current 4,000 capacity just yet.

We are seeking to purchase what is effectively sub standard commercial land from a land speculator......Creating jobs, providing housing and improving the area completely different from what AFC are doing

I always thought White City was the "home of the Derby".

You know, before Greyhound Racing in the capital began to die on its arse....

Er, they need a new stadium because they don't have one of their own.

And they would prefer to own one in (ahem) Wimbledon, rather than a lease on someone else's stadium in Kingston.

Not least because it would give them a chance to (re)grow their support.

Now I understand that you care more about the dogs than you do about AFC Wimbledon, which is fair enough.

But that still shouldn't allow you to ignore the fact that Wimbledon's situation is little different from that which would have befallen Brentford, had Noades managed to move us to Woking.

 

[Hullbee]

Markybee get the cans out of the fridge you could be here a while arguing the toss with Ealingbeelollollollollol

Actually they do have a stadium of their own. They own Kingsmeadow having shafted Kingstonian. A club that were in the conference Prem not so long ago.

I think you'll find the Council owns the freehold of the stadium.

They own Kingsmeadow having shafted Kingstonian.

How exactly did they "shaft" Kingstonian?

So? Are/were AFC Wimbledon responsible for their getting relegated?

Agreed. Perhaps vzmazz can tell us why he thinks that regeneration of a run-down part of the borough should be put on-hold forever to let people hold on to ransom strips. Very odd.

The GD has been at Wimbledon since 1985. :shrug:
You know, since GRA sold another gem on the cheap.

You missed the bit about anywhere but Wimbledon Stadium at Plough Lane.

We never moved to Woking, fortunately, so I'd call that hypothetical.

You are correct on what I care about most though

Ah yes, that would be the same GRA who shafted Speedway at Wimbledon Stadium.

Before selling the stadium to Galliard Homes.

You know, the same Galliard Homes which AFC Wimbledon are hoping to co-develop the site with?

If Greyhound Racing ceases at Wimbledon, the people to blame will be the GRA, not AFC Wimbledon.

Meanwhile, without AFC Wimbledon, there is every chance that Kingstonian FC would no longer exist.

We never moved to Woking, fortunately, so I'd call that hypothetical.

No, but if we had, I'd hope that "AFC Brentford" would have done something similar to AFC Wimbledon.

And I would have supported them in doing so.

You?
