It was that season we did got 6 points clear at the top but maybe not as long as xmas. It was the year we beat Birmingham 2-0, when Jerome 1st came back.

how many wimbledon fans did you meet ?

the wimbledon fans who have written books on the subject would differ

here is a quote from lawrence llowne , of the wimbledon independent supporters association


" we feel sam sold us down the river , he talked about the club being his "family " but he took over a community club which people had supported loyally for generations ..ok we had great years on the field , but he sold the club , sold our ground and walked off 30 million richer ..it was shattering "

thats quoted from david conns boom searching for the soul of football


I have had 3 Wembley appearances under Ridsdale does that make him a messiah?

Oh right so its perfectly OK to overlook the 'great years on the field?'

Just how did Lawrence llowne think all those 'great years' were going to be paid for?

We were away at Norwich and top of the league with 6 points clear and Sam had been replaced, we lsot at Norwich, were promised more players in the january window, no players oor hedge fund holders materialised, the rest is history.
