Could London not play at Rosslyn park until supporters are allowed and then move to Plough Lane.
In regards to Plough Lane people will be desperate to see live sport when they are able to do so and there are a lot of houses around the new Plough Lane. How about leaflet dropping the local area offering admission for a fiver and offering AFC Wimbledon fans a cheap ticket.

Not heard what the decision is yet at Wimbledon, but unsure about using Rosslyn Park for League matches, our players need time to adjust to the new Plough Lane surface as well.
Unless i have missed something, are the rest of the lads continuing to train at Trailfinders? While RP's ground is nearer to AFC's ground, what happens if their fans vote NO & we end up playing lord knows where?

Having all levels of the club training in the same place does make sense, creates an atmosphere of being one club, splitting seems daft, the young lads learn from training witj the old heads

I think it does, experience and memory from playing and training on the same ground should help develop a much better knowledge of any quirks and how to exploit them.
I would also think it helps if your constantly practicing attacking / defensive drills, kicks or any other game plan stuff on the ground you'll need to execute them on, also perhaps helps to understand the impact of differing weather conditions.
Granted it would be a small advantage but an advantage nonetheless.

St Helens have trained many years on an ex Grammar School pitches for many seasons now, not near the new ground! doesn't seem to have harmed them.

All good points but how many of those teams have a pitch that is capable of being trained on in the week in all weathers and then played on during the weekend? Not 100% sure but are all of those pitches grass? As I said a small advantage but nonetheless one we seem to be giving up.
