Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Walsall quite close to me in Stockport but Wimbledon would be a new ground. Only missing Stevenage Burton and the new Doncaster one

Wimbledon would be a new one for me as well. Along with Stevenage and Lincoln.
Some of those other grounds I've not been to in a long time like Stockport, Orient, Exeter, Mansfield, Port Vale, Bradford - all over 20 years ago

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
I was just going to post the xg score of Wimbledon 0.12, Walsall 0 when Wimbledon take the lead with a twenty yard shot - definitely a game that needed a goal.

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
That's one of the worst halves of football I've seen. We will be playing one of these next season.
Wimbledon winning deservedly so as they have been less crap than Walsall.

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Walsall have been awful in the first half. They'll come good and nick it.

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Still don’t agree and never will that these play off finals should be played at Wembley.
3rd place should play 6th place at home in a 1 off game. 4th place should play 5th place at home in a one off game, then the highest finishing team that reaches the final should be at home in another one off game.
There has got to be an advantage for finishing higher after a long gruelling season.

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Okagbue of Walsall makes our defenders look like Maldini.

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Hoof ball is back in business.
Walsall look like they went player shopping from their shirt sponsor

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Lot of pinball and lack of composure.
Be good to see Wimbledon mind.
It's going to be an interesting season.

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
I'd put in a sneaky offer for Joe Lewis. Played really well today and in the semi's. Just the kind of no nonsense defender we need. Welsh too - albeit a Jack.

Re: Walsall v Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Better side won, but it wasn’t much good was it.

Yeah, I was thinking the same.

Well, well, well. Wimbledon nest season. They were in the Isthmian League when we got promoted to the Championship. A new ground for many. And a few ex-city fans will be returning to the CCS as away fans next season.

You ain't lived till you've been to Sincil Bank Mike.
Centre of town to the ground just a 5 minute walk!

Any fan of 80s/90s indie music would surely regard a visit to the Cherry Red Records Stadium as a bit of a pilgrimage

1465 away tickets
Get your orders in now
Forgot the minus 10% because of safety measures

I think I must be 10 years older than you. Groundhogs sprung to mind with Cherry Red :music:

They were actually in the Combined Counties League Premier Division in 2002/2003. Their first season after being founded as AFC Wimbledon. That's level 9.

Re: FT: Walsall 0 - 1 Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Was looking 4ward to a trip to the Bescott(or whatever it's called now).
Disappointed.

Re: FT: Walsall 0 - 1 Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
Can walk to an away game from where I live, happy with that result.

Great shout, apparently the label was named after their song.
I did have a Cherry Red compilation, which may have cone free with the NME in the mid 80s. I do remember that some early Everything But The Girl songs were on there. Also political poet and Brighton fan, Atilla the Stockbroker.

Re: FT: Walsall 0 - 1 Wimbledon. League 2 play off final
My nephews company has a box there and my son lives in Tooting. Family day out - hopefully it’s on a Saturday. The game was ruddy awful though

Was it really? By the way I PMed you a while back for advice over a Fiorentina game. I guess you didn't see it. It's ok - our train arrived in too late anyway!
Back to Wimbledon. I'm looking forward to that trip next year. They used to have a great little pub at the ground run by By the Horns brewery. Sadly, I think the brewery went bust though. (Prob wouldn't have let us in anyway :hehe:)

I thought he looked a decent L2 , L1 player. But he was physically bullied off the ball by the Walsall sub who really should have scored. Got to be far better options and I'm sure Dalaand would have looked good against Walsall.
