A £1.7m funding gap sounds like the best reason not to sell down to 50.1 doesn’t it - anything raised just goes into a black hole. Better to get ship shape and then do it - when anything raised might actually build something like a stand or whatever

Getting a lot of that, Trigs. ‘I would chip in but not until xxxx is sorted’ type stuff. Which is absolutely fair enough - whether xxxx is a plan or a bit of cost-cutting elsewhere, or whatever.
The one thing I think is a shame is we’ve gone from promotion and all that glorious positive excitement to somehow a place where there’s a feeling of doom about us. I’m not sure how we rewind…

Maybe a signing and the shirts in the flesh and a lottery win. Or all three :)
And yes well done Stephen H. Now auction the shirt off and proceeds to the WAWF you selfish git ;-)

I think anyone who has the idea and the ability to deliver it should go for it - but OI (and Doobs) are right in that the message bouncing back is quite clear... many people aren't willing or able (or both) to chip in at the moment. Club needs to sort its finances out, be a lot more transparent about them ('the stadium is expensive to run' won't cut it anymore - where is the money going?) and show some element of control over future financial performance and then people may feel more compelled to contribute.

Topping up a budget is far more appealing than throwing money into a black hole. Making ends meet is getting harder and every penny counts.
for a cheap hattrick, congrats to Stephen H who won a new shirt, signed by the squad. will be ready to collect at the first home game. Another shirt comp is launching today

1 in 50 chance to win, which is pretty cool
I think OI hits on something there btw. WAWF followed hot on the heels on a couple of requests for donations. But what I think/hope makes it a bit different is that it is for a very specific reason (ie to sign better players - not a penny will go on new curtains/to the DTB or whatever) and with very specific targets (we are aiming for £250k, and we will be handing it over on Jan 1. There is a totaliser on the landing page, so it's as transparent as we could make it, too. I should also emphasise that it is fan/volunteer-led, so isn't the club asking for money even if it feels like it, perhaps. It may well tank, but it is there for anyone who wants to see us buy better players and is in a position to contribute - even as little as £1/week can make a difference. Likewise, nobody is over a barrel and it's fine not to chip in. the club wont go bust if we don't, and we are under no illusion that it wont be for everyone. but thank you to everyone who has chipped in so far - or even just shared a twitter post or whatever - all helps x

Hi Ian, Good question. We've had a fair number of recurring payments set up, but they will only show once each payment has dropped IYSWIM. So if someone has set up a £10/month payment, only £10 will show up today (and for the next 29 days). Hope that makes sense.

One way forward is for them to ditch their moral stance against betting and get one or more of those bookies on board, advertising or sponsorship, possibly both. At the very least it might stave off one or two begging bowls, which apparently is morally ok. In other words, get real instead of imagining this is shangri-la.

The success (or not) of the WAWF will really hinge on monthly DD contributors. I used to contribute monthly to the previous incarnation for several years, although I'm not sure how successful it was as it never really seemed to get mentioned after the initial hype. Although I won't be committing to this new version, I hope it does get a good take up.

I admire the efforts people are making with the fund raising exercises but we're getting to the 'Seedrs point' again, where people are starting to say enough is enough. Find a way forward that doesn't involve constant begging bowls.

KD. I'm not sure I understand how the WAWF total works. Is it just the one off payments? Are all the payments actually DDs? Are DDs calculated elsewhere?

A massive £7,873 in We Are Wimbledon Fund. Who can we buy with that?

StD - " Surrey Bob the 12 points deducted might make us the first team to end up on minus points at the end of the season if we make it 🫣" I would sooner take the hit while we are in L1 than take it in L2. Taking the hit in L2 may well see us drop into the Conference.

A4e I agree about the drama. And the inner belief comments, bulldog spirit and all that. As for skill and noise aspect of the woman's game, there wasn't much of that in evidence at the Gills game last season. I do agree with them being different games however. Last night was quite the nod about the English and our ability to be proud of overcoming adversity. The Lucy Bronze goal was great in any version of the game.

Shit penalties though and that's for both sides.
It was indeed funny, especially when they decided that getting a goalie to take a penalty would be a good idea 🤪

To be fair, that was comedy drama than pure drama. In Bruges, say.

Fantastic drama in the England game last night - after being 2-0 down in the first half, as well as behind in the penalty shootout, they dug deep and got through. If anyone doesn’t enjoy the sport because it’s “lower quality” than the mens game, I genuinely have no idea why they would watch it - personally, I found it absorbing, especially the penalties, it was so much fun seeing penalty saves and the post hit, or the goalkeeper hitting it over the bar…. Pure drama 🎭🥳👏

Italy may be a stretch - they will have had an extra day of rest and didn’t have to play extra time, etc…
I also thought they were poor and unfortunately that's how they have been since the last world cup. Play 1 or 2 decent games then throw an absolute stinker in. Sweden being passive in the Second half allowed that to happen but the Lionesses are an unusual England team in any sport..They have won a trophy and therefore have that inner unshakeable belief
