Celebrating New Plough Lane Day!
Although things in the world aren’t great at the moment, we can at least enjoy the developments around AFC.
An unbeaten start to the season with an excellent win at Fleetwood on the weekend. Didn’t get to see it myself, but everyone I’ve talked to says it was well deserved. Apart from the 3 points, it was good to get a clean sheet.
More importantly from a long term point of view, it seems New Plough Lane will be operational from 3rd November. Great news, but tempered by the fact that it will be without fans.
We may have to wait until March for crowds to attend matches. From a selfish perspective, it gives us Australian based fans a chance to be there, but I reckon that is wishful thinking?
Looking forward to a better, and less stressful, season than last year. Especially if Franchise get relegated 🤞😄
Only a few hours til KO, but late evening here so heading to bed.
Thanks to Colum, Pete and John for keeping us down under up to date.
There seems to be a feeling of cautious optimism about coming season. A point, or even better, a win tonight would be very welcome.
Keep safe and keep well, all you Dons fans out there.
Hi Dave, hi John.
Yes, I am fully up to speed about the debenture scheme and have done the survey giving it a positive vote. I reckon it will be perfect for me for the coming season and also for other Dons fans based outside the UK. Most people I have talked to are in favour and I think SD and her gang are definitely going to go for it. It might be difficult logistically to find the perfect seat, but I would hopefully get somewhere in the West Stand at least 8 rows up from pitch level and as near as possible the half way line as possible.
I realise it is yet another strain on each person’s ability to fund the club after Seedrs and the Bond, but one that I think I can afford personally especially as it actually has an end product namely a guaranteed seat. I know one person in Sydney for whom it is a no-brainer.
And if helps discover the South London version of Lionel Messi, so much the better😊.
League One decision day was supposed to be today,but just read on BBC that it has been put off until tomorrow. So we will know the outcome on Wednesday morning Oz time.
Everything pointing to points per game with play offs going ahead. So the Done should be safe from relegation.
