Attendances should not matter, Wimbledon have always had a small hard core fan base, the rest were just hangers on, so it's OK to tell the 3000 loyal fans to get stuffed is it?
Try telling the Northwhich Victoria fans that due to small attendances they are being sold and are moving to Lancashire and will be called Wythenshawe Victoria instead, league status and attendances should not matter.
It's a fair point, but they do matter to running a business. I'd have a lot more sympathy for loyal Northwich fans because they've never been midtable in the richest league in the world, so it's a bit of a different story.
If you're running a restaurant in the West End and you have 4 people come in every night who really love the place, but no other customers, do you keep running it at a massive loss for their sake, or do you think about opening it up elsewhere where you might get appreciated?
But you dont have an emotional and life long commitment to a restaurant or any other "business".
Sorry, but I believe some people have very short memories, if this club sinks even further and our crowds dwindle, would you accept us moving to Basingstoke and being called the Berkshire Valiants?
How any Charlton fan, who was around during our spells at Selhurst & Upton Park, could ever defend Franchise FC and slate Wimbledon FC fans is beyond me, and always will be.
To people who slag off WImbledon saying how low their crowds were, why not take a look at ours when we were at Selhurst? At the extreme we only got 821 and 817 consecutively for two Full Members' Cup matches (the upper division equivalent to the Paint Trophy). It wasn't as if all Charlton fans went to Selhurst - many decided never to go. When we had large crowds it was for us, like Wimbledon, thanks to huge away supports who took advantage of all the spare room available.
Definitely going, will probably be one of our most "local" away games next year !
Congratulations to them, they've done brilliantly to get themselves up. They're turning themselves into a real community club, bringing young players through etc and I think that's to be applauded.

Your loss. I'm going. It's a superb stadium despite the lack of atmosphere and personally I have absolutely no problem with them.
Oh plus it's half an hour from me which is the main reason I'm pleased they got promoted. I can now watch charlton not far from me.

The amount of times you've made a point of saying that you support Charlton and will always support the team yet this bothers you.

Well Said That Man !
Are you sure this was before the move to MK was proposed/finalised? And before AFC Wimbledon was established?[/quote]
Most definitely.
The Everton game was in November 1992 well before the proposed move.
AFC were established in May 2002 and played their first game in July 2002.
Wimbledon FC moved to Milton Keynes Sept 2003

I'll definitely be going to support Charlton.
Shall we now repeat the first 3 pages again ?

These AFC Wimbledon fans did a couple of years ago.
