Can wasps fuck off back to London if we all sign it?
Greyhounds a sport? Hmmmm.
Rather see Wimbledon go back home.....
Only motorsport venue in London really?
They'd have to knock some flats down for that to happen.
The only permanent motorsport venue in London? Yes. Permanent tarmac oval and figure of eight in the the stadium with regular meetings for various formulas but mainly stocks and bangers.
What sort of crowds do the stocks and bangers get?
How's it a sport?
sport/spɔːt/
noun
1.an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.
What physical exertion is entailed?
I have to admit, it doesn't sit easily with me WImbledon's recent actions.
On the one hand, it's a proper story - team reborn and goes home after being kicked out. On the other hand, Kingstonian will be kicked out from what was actually *their* ground originally, and expected to find a stadium nearby.
And then losing a stadium for any sport is a crying shame. It would be a shame, after all, if Coventry Bees go out of business when Brandon disappears (certain battles between them and Wimbledon speedway in the past too).
The only way I can reconcile it is that there was probably an inevitability for the Greyhound track disappearing - I used to go occasionally and it was on its knees. What it does show is that the actions of Hammam, and then Winkelman, still have repurcussions for clubs to this day. I don't know one way or the other if I'd sign the petition because I don't quite know what to make of it all yet, but it's certainly right and proper that the current tenants and fans of whatever's on-site now, are heard.
Just been reading up on this, although there doesn't seem to be a huge amount of information online. Read an article that says there's two proposals for the site, the one for the new football stadium and another to redevelop the existing stadium.
However it seems redevelopment would be for greyhound racing only so even if the football stadium wasn't to go ahead there would still be no motor sport?
Get the Dons back to where they belong. MK to get relegated and go bust. Wasps to move into Stadium MK nearer their beloved London fan base and CCFC to buy the Ricoh. ......oh yes.
I have a mate who supports Dulwich Hamlet and he says that AFC Wilbledon are hated in non league football for what they did to Kingstonian. Fair enough they needed to get home, and it's good news that they seem to be there, but the process they have destroyed an existing non league team
Seems a bit harsh, aren't AFC giving Kingstonian a 7 figure sum from the ground sale even though they have no obligation to do so?
Haven't seen any mention of why Kingstonian can't stay and groundshare with Chelsea Women, has any reason been given?
I think its more that they dropped themselves into another clubs home, took advantage of a weak owner to buy the ground from them and then proceeded to put the Wimbledon identity all over it with little to no respect to Kingstonians.
