THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Alas that happy scenario failed to materialise - again.

What gets me about this is yes, AFC are going to be salty, but I just don't get why. They have got what they wanted. A move to a ground in brough of Merton like they have wanted since I was a kid. I just wonder in an alternate history where Wimbledon were allowed to "do a Bury" things might have been different. They would have never formed AFC in 2002 and they never rose up the leagues as fast as they did. Once they do move into their ground they can never moan as they have got what they always wanted since the 90's. Also, never read too much into what newspapers say. They will say whatever will sell the most papers/get the most listeners to their podcast. The Guardian has alway been anti us. As has the Sun as one of the senior sports writers (if he is still there) is a AFC Wimbledon fan.

Just take it with a pinch of salt. I think by the end of the season we will be up to about 12 games (at a guess) with them and it is funny how the only time papers/media care is when we play them

There's definitely one Guardian sports writer who supports them.

There we go then. Don't worry about the media. They are the ones that fuel most of the anger towards us just so they can sell a few more rags and get a few more listeners to the podcasts

This kind of imagined victimhood should be left to the other lot IMO.

If a respected newspaper think this way, what chance do we have![/quote]

I'm just trying to get my head round this concept referring to the Guardian.

Or any newspaper come to that.

What did he say?

I've taken The Guardian for well over 30yrs. It reinforces my general worldview. I also read The Mail, because it doesn't. You can't have one without the other.

I don't give a fuck if people like us as a football team, or not. Opinion pieces are one thing, the clue there is in the name, but surely a certain level of professionalism is required when general reporting.

But the days of actually buying a newspaper are certainly numbered. They'll go the way of all media. The internet will give it all away for free.

We're all best of friends really.

Fucking hate them mate but at least I wouldn’t attack their fans because they were wearing their colours so I guess I have that going for me.
