If I understand correctly the away fans will have an end, so they won’t be on the sides?

JP - don't think NPL will be big enough to be soul-less. Functional and basic, maybe, but that won't matter with a crowd in

What we need NPL to be is a nice cosy intimate version of KM but without the obvious drawbacks. The closeness to the pitch would be good but I suspect there is some stupid FA law that says you have to be so far away from the players. What we do not want is a soulless place. Best (limited) example I can think of is perhaps Burton's ground?

Trigger probably SwinDon and Red Kite yep and that is 3 seasons ago. We really struggle to think of occasions we’ve had a home advantage in decisions. I can think of away ones that went in our favour, Walsall for example and I can think of home ones that went against us, several hand balls already this season. KM doesn’t bring us any extra points or intimidate anyone bar the lino in front of the away fans.

Dodgy pen against fleetwood that kept.us.upin league 2

Not too long ago we got given a really dodgy penalty in front of the Chemflow end (can't remember who against but it was never a pen) but then I think Taylor had it saved so justice was ultimately done. In fact I think that if Taylor had hit it any more weakly he could have claimed it was a sporting gesture.

Lurker, the obvious one was Accrington at home in our promotion season

Kentish has taken his custom to Crawley so he can watch Francomb (e)

That or the players being gutted you're not there watching them, Kentish.

Of course, Kyle. I just think our new Alhambra won't be quite the land of figs and labnah as some hope.

Ouch! That's scathing!! It is not rather irrational to blame the stadium for our under-performance at home?

When was the last time anyone can recall a big decision that is contentious going our way at home?

Kentish assuming you are right , which obviously you aren’t , and the extraterrestrial atmosphere of KM won’t be replicated at NPL , does the fact it’s in Wimbledon not count for anything ?

Bless

I smell another REPD myth.

Kentish - there's definitely a bit of an element to that

Are you blaming KM for us being shit at home, Paul?

Morning all. Think the whole KM experience gets even worse when we go to other grounds in this division and they're just so much better than our current one. Even somewhere like Scunthorpe...

KM is shit. Won't miss it at all. ……Agree totally, I travel in from Portugal for games, and tend to pick away games as Kingsmeadow is truly awful to view games with terrible amenities . Few pubs around the ground within walking distance, Kingsmeadow is not an enjoyable day out. Add to that teams come to Wimbledon expecting 3 points and often get them. Certainly the least most intimidating ground in the FL.

Hash, until you posted, had completely forgotten about it.

Yeah, the owner Andreas is making a proper Go of it

Snozzle, thanks for the reply, nice to see Wooodys picking up and busier, stood empty for a while

Sorry I’m just not a real fan, can’t be arsed to pay to go on a Tuesday night to watch the U21 side of a club where I’m not even going to be seeing some star of the future, for a competition I have no interest in now that the rich bastards decided that the the shrapnel from their pockets pays for them to try and take away some lower league club’s one off day at Wembley.

“non-League ground on mild steroids“. I think that is actually a pretty good description of KM.

Hash when hardly anyone went to those trophy games before the U-21s got involved what that a boycott as well ?
