Super Bock Posted August 16, 2020 Posted August 16, 2020 Wimbledon’s new stadium is on the site of the former dog racing track which also held stock car racing meets. They got quite a bit of stick for it as it was the last dog racing track in London, so a lot of people saw it as quite rich given the similarities in what had happened to the original Wimbledon. It will be a miles better away day when it’s finished. By the Horns Brewery is next door and Wimbledon brewery will also be taking space in the main stand which will be accessible from all parts of the ground including the away section. It’s also walkable from Earlsfield, Tooting Broadway and Wimbledon, so plenty of good pubs around for before and after the match. Quote

Yep......got off at the wrong Wimbledon station & had a long & dreary walk to the ground, a bit of a fire started in the old wooden seats, iirc George Oghani's first appearance to a less than rapturous reception, freezing cold & we got pasted. Not the best day out !!! Quote

I don't think he'd have been a first choice from the start of the season but you could see him being an Evatt type player & getting plenty chances to make his way into the team. I suppose it's early enough to replace him in the squad......will his wages count towards our limit ? Quote

It’s also the amount of those places that have large swathes of old firm fans. Livingston as a new town suffers from that massively as well as hearts and hibs fans. Only about 1500 home fans at livi upto maybe 2k when Celtic and Rangers are in town. It’s a wonder they survive. but then again with a playing budget far far less than the league 2 salary cap this year it’s a wonder they can compete against the bigger clubs. Speaks volumes for the management team. I will repeat jermaine defoe takes home more per year than the entire Livingston playing squad combined. Quote
