I thought the bloke to the right of the mayor in the OTD picture was Grouty out of Porridge. Bob Lord was probably still smarting over WFC knocking his team out of the FA Cup a couple of months earlier.

It's Sam!

Bedroom window much to mother's anger. Stayed there until 1977

Mark 3 Ford Zephyr. Where did you stick yours?

Have you ever thought that he is just a troll? I don’t see any evidence that WIJG is a Wimbledon fan.

Totally agree with everything you say 6mdm.

Thank you all. I don't want any apology. If you post on here and express an opinion you leave yourself open to criticism. That's life, rightly or wrongly. I've clearly got under his skin but as I place zero value on his opinions, his attempt at my character assassination has zero impact on me. He knows nothing about me, my age, my background, my financial means or my motives. I'm happy for it to stay that way. When I am "moaning" it is because I'm unhappy at how our supporters are being treated (not necessarily me personally). He'll never understand that as he views supporters as inconvenient commodities who should put up, pay more or shut up. What I find odd is his total lack of engagement and only posting about money. He never talks about the team, tactics, player performance, the opposition, etc., or reminisce about past games. This guestbook is a smorgasbord of topics ranging from bus routes on matchdays to teachers at school. Whatever the topic of the day is, as soon as he gets bored or has something to preach about he'll bombarded us with the same drivel about raising money. I know I can just ignore him but surely even he must bore himself saying the same things ad nauseum. He certainly bores me. I've got a good memory which can be a blessing and a curse. With him it is a curse.

I'm happy to discuss with (WI)JG, I'm still hoping he can explain how he is so confident his proposals would be taken on board after a rights issue when he says he'd take a relatively small holding but I'll probably wait a long time. We all think differently and disagree on issues so there does need to be a degree of respect over disagreements. Having a go at 6MDM definitely violated that and an apology would seem appropriate.

$6m long but very accurate post. I did question his choice of cheap seat a while ago.

I call him "the hollow man"

No apologies necessary $6m. Absolutely spot on.

WIJG - I often wonder why you support AFCW. You don't subscribe to anything it stands for. You carried on supporting WFC after they moved to Milton Keynes, as you put it, out of a sense of loyalty but a loyalty to what? You probably thought it was a sound business decision and believed all the bullshit about big new stadium, huge catchment area, more support, more investment, etc. You openly admit not to care if existing AFCW supporters are priced out as the club should charge as much as it can get away with. If older fans get replaced by new ones, who cares as long as they pay, eh? You would abandon all discounts. You moan that tickets are too cheap yet you sit in the cheaper east stand while you lecture me about enquiring about pricing in the west stand. Your memory and attention to detail is shocking. If it wasn't the case you would have known I have long been an advocate of removing all discounts from central west stand seats. You wrongly assumed I was trying to find out if I could qualify for a concession price. Unless things have changed away clubs get a fee from host clubs for selling away tickets, so £3 is OTT. My issue was not the surcharge but the poor postal service I receive and the risk to the ticket getting lost. Again, you missed this point with your myopic view of money. You talk about denying the club money, but money for what? What have you done, other than come on here and lecture people with you daft suggestions and then claim the club have taken some of them up? Did you buy shares in 2003? Did you take out a bond? Do you make optional donations? You'd do away with the academy and women's teams if they did not make a positive contribution as standalone revenue streams, without considering the wider impact of having them. You refer to DLAG as just handing out tins of soup, without thinking about the good they do for the less well off and the fantastic publicity it gives the club, as well as all the positive goodwill it generates.

Looking forward to finding out who these people are and the significance of it in tomorrow's OTD picture [Link]

My GP asked me recently if I thought I was suffering from long Covid. It hadn't occurred to me and I'm sure I'm not, but I had a feeling that she's finding it quite often.

Well you’re a generation or two out but yes that kinda thing 😊

Trigger-You mean you still love spandex trousers and velvet jackets and winklepicker shoes.

Same Meadow. Sense of smell is only just starting to show signs of recovery (smoke smells like smoke again) but luckily it hasn’t affected my sense of taste.

Timmy, not a long covid sufferer as such, but my sense of smell hasn't returned that much. Luckily my sense of taste is almost back to what it was.

Spit, should have had the vaccine ;-/

Timmy yes, there are a lot of people who still suffer from it but the support is declining, few clinics any longer.

But you are allowed to moan about it Spit so cheer up.

Quote of the year so far : WIJG... 'You don't half moan'

WIJG - I find your repetitive, delusional, inane, ramblings about hiw rich you like to tell people you are and how we should price everyone out of going to games,, who were attending long before you pitched up, tedious beyond belief. I go to games, buy a programme when one is produced and that is it. So what? A football club is more than just making the players rich. It is about how supporters are treated too. That was why AFCW was created to start with but you were too busy supporting franchise in Milton Keynes to notice. I checked about the over 66 concession price in the central west stand because it was a discussion point on here. It will not impact me for a decade and who knows what will exist then.

rest up, spit! covid does have some weird symptoms
