The difference here, for this particular fixture, is that I can buy one adult and 2 U-18s for a total of £14, and support the Albion safe in the knowledge, that after operating / stewarding costs, the child catcher will make NOTHING out of my visit.
That's a decent shout actually. Surprised 'London' Wasps didn't try for it - after all they were just down the road in Wycombe. I'm sure Winkleman would have been happy to bin off the football club if it suited him financially.
It really, really, really isn't. They didn't just 'take the Dons moniker'. They STOLE their very existence. They stole their league status, and place in the pyramid, instead of starting at the bottom like every single other club.
The fact that AFC Wimbledon have rebuilt is utterly irrelevant to...
You seem like a reasonable chap, so fair play for posting. Glad you enjoyed your trip down here. Nice to hear a rare positive review from a LOSING away fan - normally the experience and stadium is heralded as excellent by fans who travel home with 3 points, and decried as 'soulless, sh1t...
Here's my take on it:
To run the stadium on a match day - police, stewards, fuel, services, etc, etc will cost a quantifiable sum of money. I've no idea of the actual figure, but let's call it £5 per head.
If I pay Winkleman £25 for a ticket, I'm paying £20 towards the income of his vile...
That's my plan, if we go. Family of four will cost £26 (£4 LESS than my ONE ticket for Bristol City next week). But if we go, we won't park in their car park, we'll eat elsewhere, take our own snacks in, and won't buy a program. Winkleman isn't going to make anything much out of me.
the prick.
