What’s changed in a year would be my question to that.

| We'll have to wait and see what the club has to say on this but a couple of questions immediately spring to mind:
1. The club have spent the past 5 years telling us Ealing is the perfect location, that we are laying down roots and are in the long haul to re-build the club and the fanbase. What's changed? Why are we looking to move to a completely different part of London (and only someone not native to the city would argue Ealing/Wimbledon are the same)?
2. The club have consistently told us Trailfinders is the perfect site for us, that it can grow and develop as we grow and develop. Obviously, Plough Lane is a brand new stadium, with good facilities, etc, but why the need to change if we've been so convinced Trailfinders is right for us?
3. Is there more to this deal than another rental? A share in the facility perhaps? Will we have to relocate for 6 weeks every summer like we did in the past, and Wigan do now? What happens 10 years down the line if Wimbledon don't want us anymore?
4. Ultimately, I guess, what is there about this deal that is so overwhelming that it makes the club want to do a complete 180degree about face on everything it has said over the past 5 years?

| Well certainly some of the Curry Houses of Tooting are a match of those in Bradford if they'd made that 1 of the criteria. Just hope nobody planning to drive there if we move unless you do your weekly shop in Lidl across the road.

| Would be typical of us to move- just as it looks like Crossrail might finally get finished!

| As much as i personally like ealing, the new stand (that was never going to get built) improved it an awful lot, having everything in one place also paid off. Reality is as a Super League venue it struggles to meet the criteria.
So a move was probably always on the cards, is wimbledon the answer? Looks like the club possibly think so. What ever they decide, as always some will love it some will hate it.
Question to ask is, if it was the difference between SL or not what do the fans think of that? Would those who hate idea of wimbledon be happy to stay in championship because they dont want change?
Do i like thought of moving again, no. Do i think we would get the SL 12th slot if we are at ealing still? Probably no.
Will i give up on the club if they move? Of course not.
Lets see what happens tomorrow

| WQ read all this thread, if its a true posting, the CEO of wimbledon FC asking for dons trust members for thoughts on a link up with broncos is a pretty strong indicator its being discussed

| I know London in the past have not been great at recruiting fans but tapping into the AFC Wimbledon fanbase might get a few more through the gate and some of the surrounding areas like Tooting, Mitcham and Sutton have a lot of working class people who could be attracted to a physical game and there are a lot of schools to get the word spread around.
