What happened to GW Rovers?

They got relegated.

As I said at the time GWR announced it I can’t imagine we’d send the first team squad to an Essex Senior League side so late in pre-season.

You’ll notice that we build up from two Isthmian Prem sides, to a NLN side to an EFL side.

It does seem several matches short though.

It does. But I guess Kev has to prepare for the possibility he may only have 14-16 players at his disposal in the next 4 weeks.

Too many friendlies for a threadbare squad, will likely leave us with a barely fit XI for opening day.

Should the takeover happen, embargo removed and players signed, I would imagine several other games will be slotted in against stiffer opposition.

What a **** show.

Probably too many! Can’t risk injuries 😳
 
In the time that Ron Martin has owned the club and tried to build a stadium AFC Wimbledon, a club founded in 2002 went on to achieve 5 promotions in 9 seasons, ensuring that they were the first club to be formed in the 21st century to achieve Football League status.

Also in that time they have built a 9,300 capacity stadium (which has the potential to be expanded to 20,000)

Aside from several stadium designs Mr Martin has delivered the square root of nothing, and contributed to the loss of our football league status as well.

I wonder if Ron will look back on his tenure (which I hope is very very soon) with regret - Note to self, probably not.
 
Wimbledon and Stortford are good tests where we can reasonably gauge how prepared we are. The other couple very local. I don't tend to do many these days as I throw myself into other things through the summer then commit to SUFC from August. Besides, after 20 minutes of the first friendly it starts to become very dull

Fan ownership. Never let anyone convince you it can't work.
