Gillingham FC Forum

So, was planning to enjoy another away day at AFC Wimbledon having been to more away games already this year than I went to the whole of last season until I read the ticket info on the website. 1 ticket only per season ticket holder, which obviously means I would have to go alone, and only 200m seats anyway; at my time of life standing for the whole game is not an attractive proposition! I am guessing this is because Wimbledon's ground isn't really up to our level of expectation which is a shame as I was looking forward to visiting a new ground. I might try to plead that I need my son as a carer, but I'm not sure Mr. Happy at the ticket office will buy that one! I'll let you know!!

Do you remember those long departed days when if you turned up in one of those blue disabled 3-wheelers you could drive up to the railings at the side of the pitch to watch a game?

I wonder how many tickets we will get then Lidbid? They brought quite a number to ours last season and I reckon we could end out packing 3 sides of their ground!!!!!

200 seated tickets and 650 terrace tickets!!

Not too bad then. If we took over a 1000 everywhere.......!

I remember the days when the horrific black 3 wheel handicapped vehicles were positioned between the goal posts and the corner posts behind the goal line at the Gillingham End , plenty of room there, at least three or four feet, between the line and the wall.lol.

A very dear friend of mine is suffering from Motor Neurone disease (and what a dreadful affliction. I've already lost one friend to this illness) Steve has been fighting the inevitable but has finally succumbed to using a wheelchair. He is a massive Hammers fan and went to his first match as a wheelchair user with his wife as his helper. He said it was fantastic and the Hammers club really went out of their way to help the disabled fans. Which is nice to hear and I hope that we as a club treat these fans as well, even though we are only a little club.

Sorry to here about your friend, any idea when West Ham move into their new ground ? One more quick question, where do Wimbledon play ??

They play at Kingsmeadow , which is the ground where Kingstonian play , in Kingston upon Thames South London .

They've ground shared there for a number of years . The old ground was sadly lost amidst the whole debacle that saw the original Wimbledon FC first ground sharing with Crystal Palace , and then becoming Milton Keynes Dons .
