We received thirteen copies of the email, so they are certainly putting the word out there.
I too am torn as to which membership would suit us best.
Half membership seems to be the favorite at the moment.
Following the London Broncos home and away was what we did on a Sunday,
In truth, were it not for the desire to meet up with the friends that we have made over the years. We might not even bother at all.
Last summer we enjoyed doing other things and plan to continue to do so. Cutting back on our away trips for sure.
Now with these new schemes some home games might go as well.
We shall have to think on it.

Am I correct in thinking that we have 11 home games in the Championship with the first being scheduled on 25-Apr. Crowds will not be allowed to return any earlier than 17-May potenitally allowing some fans to attend the third home game against Bradford on 23-May ?

I am wondering as to what provision is being made for the youngsters.
The only mention is for a family ticket. Two adults and two U16s.
That may suit some, but not all.

Given the uncertainty of Covid the Half membership seems to be a good deal comparatively to the full membership. £10 entry per game allows flexibility and if you attend all games you pay a similar amount. Whether seating will be allocated for full members and you miss out on this im unsure.

The club should be applauded for the detailed and thorough communication. We just need clarification on where we will play.

Good point.
Would be nice to know how much it will cost if I decide it is time to inflict Rugby League on the grandkids!

I did not get the email which is strange as we have been ST holders for years? And it was not in Spam either.... Wonder what email list they are using to send this out

LOL It was in Spam, pls ignore thisicon_smile.gif I got 4 emails

As far as I understand it , yes.
But it all comes with the big caveat that Johnson seemed to play down yesterday, all these dates given are 'at the earliest'.
Apart from sending all kids back to school in England on Monday week, none of these dates are actually set in stone.

Only received the one email overnight, but mine did not have the prices in? as you say they explained as much as they can currently.

Was thinking the same Bosty. Bit expensive if kids are treated as concessions but then the email doesn't set out that criteria either.

For me I think it will be a half membership and pay the £10 for the games that I want to attend.
Once I know where we are playing.
I do not think we will be troubled by capacity issues.

Be interesting to see if they throw in a parking package (or parking availabilty) once we know
A) where we will be playing and
B) when we can attend (if ever)

Not looking forward to street parking, that was one of the good points about Trailfinders and the Stoop, you had good parking options

Think parking will be very much at a premium. Doubt any around the ground at all. One of the problems of a ground in the middle of a housing estate. Suppose you might get away with parking on the trading estate opposite if you shop in Lidl, Wicks, etc.

Thanks for this, my Dad is getting on 80 and not really fit enough for two buses + train, so for us being able to park close is important, have to wait and see I guess, but Public transport not really option for us especially on a Sunday when its a reduced service.

We did use Public Transport when at Barnet, but that was just Train + Tube and he was more healthy then, so was not a big problem... Yes I know we could go without him, but its not the same, I can have a sensible converstion with him, if he is not there I'll be stuck having to listen to my brother argue with Big Cliffy for two hours on Fulham vs Brentford wendyball talk

Am I understanding this correctly, it is now going to be £120 per half membership plus £10 per game making it £120 per season per person more expensive. Im not complaining as its going to be a lot cheaper for me than my season ticket was but it could be a lot more for families and people on lower incomes and this could stop what little support was have.

As I see it parking will be a problem at Wimbledon.
The maths do not work for me. Full membership for the nine available games we are probably going to attend.£ 240.
Half membership £ 120 plus nine games at £10.Equals £ 210.
Umm.

The Dons site suggests it is disabled parking only on the day of a football match https://www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/club/new ... tadium-qa/

There may be some street parking in side roads off of Garratt Lane. Restrictions are Mon-Fri where Plough Lane meets Garratt Lane.

According to a friend who lives locally there isn't much of it.
In fact first thing she said to me when I said we could be on the move to Plough Lane was ' You'll struggle to find a parking space round there'.

Yea, Right now our thinking is that we won't purchase a membership at this point, go to the first game which fans are allowed in, and take a view at that point if we want the 1/2 membership, based on parking access.

Its a real shame as he has been looking forward to going back to RL, but he just is not mobile enough for the trains / buses to get there and back (especially as Train is every 30 mins on a Sunday, don't fancy him being stuck at Richmond for long periods).

I'm not pointing any fingers at the club here, they have to do what is best for the club, but we will see what its like when the games actually start

Let’s hope they have moved into Wimbledon by may 23 ( bulls)
Or we could be playing at Rosslyn park or Richmond. !
They don’t hold many people ... Richmond 4,500 ( 1000seated) rosslyn p. 2000.

Expect some fans may not be allowed in !!!!

I'd like to know how getting there will work out too. Coming from the Southend area trains on our line on Sundays are frequently replaced by buses so we used to drive to Ealing, where if you were prepared to walk 10 minutes, parking was never a problem. We've had three bronze season tickets for the past few years. I know that was an excellent deal but it's a big old price hike for championship rugby. The journey to Plough Lane by public transport looks a bit convoluted too from here. I'll see, but we might do the odd game when there's a train service, watch the other home games on the stream and do a few more away games. I guess this move was driven by the super league application. Ealing wasn't suitable for that, although the new stand made it far better, but was adequate for championship rugby. I think a danger, as expressed by others, is that it's been a long time since any of us have been to Broncos and some people have got out of the habit. Funnily enough I saw a similar impact at Dagenham and Redbridge football club who, I think, thought people would come flocking in when they were briefly allowed a socially distanced crowd in the Autumn, but only sold half the tickets available.

£25 for a walk-up? Ouch. Seems like we are doing a nice job of trying to cater for our puny, existing fan base, but already working hard to prevent it from growing.

Not really, most clubs operate on discount for pre bought tickets. You might argue £25 for a Championship game is a bit much but if you look at AFC Wimbledon's 2020/21 ticket prices that are between £22 & £32 for a League 1 game then it doesn't look too bad. If you want to look at Brentford season tickets 2020/21 then for a top Championship club they are charging U18s £74-£124, 18-24s £269-£399 & 19-64s £419-£549 & 65+ £309-£439. On top of that you get to sit in a very ugly stadium.

There doesn't appear to be a discount for pre-ought tickets...?

Fans will be flocking to AFC Wimbledon, they don't need to work nearly as hard as we do to attract support. They have a core of 5k fans already who will be battering the doors down when crowds are allowed in. And plenty of returning fans I'm certain. We barely have 10% of that.

£25 for a Championship game is scandalous. No scope for curious locals, difficult sell to friends. This isn't professional football, it is rugby league, a minority sport. You can't compare the two.

We still don't know where we are playing FFS. We must be the first club in history of professional sport that has announced ticketing details without having a confirmed stadium. Its an embarrassment and indefensible. Major changes needed are needed at the club - same old, same old. The club will never make any progress with Hughes and his cronies at the helm.

I have to agree with Dave L here... In the south we are comparable to basketball/ ice hockey / netball. Adult tickets at Guildford Flames are 16GBP, and I think similar with surrey scorchers basketball... Max we should be charging is 20GBP for walk up's. No point comparing us to football or yawnion in the south east / south west we don't have the presence or interest down here
