  • Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes This Summer Is a Critical Moment in London’S Football History
    Culture, Sport and Tourism Away from home Scrutiny of London’s Football Stadiums June 2003 Culture, Sport and Tourism Away from home Scrutiny of London’s Football Stadiums June 2003 copyright Greater London Authority June 2003 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4100 minicom 020 7983 4458 ISBN 1 85261 496 1 Cover photograph credit EMPICS Sports Photo Agency This publication is printed on recycled paper Chair’s Foreword The move by Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes this summer is a critical moment in London’s football history. This move prompted the London Assembly’s Culture, Sport and Tourism committee to look into the issue of redevelopment for London clubs. With Fulham and Brentford yet to secure new stadiums for their clubs and question marks remaining over Arsenal’s and Tottenham’s grounds the issue is a live one. We do not want to see more clubs leave London. During the 2002/03 season about 5 million fans watched professional football in London. In addition, hundreds of thousands of Londoners participate every year in club sponsored community projects and play football. This report seeks to ensure that this added value isn’t lost to Londoners. We did not set out to judge local situations but to tease out lessons learnt by London football clubs. Football is more than just a business: the ties that a club has with its area and the fans that live or come from there are great. We recommend that more clubs have supporters on their board and applaud the work of Supporters Direct in rejuvenating the links between clubs and their fan base.

  • Transcript for Culture, Sport and Tourism Meeting on 1 April 2003
    Item 4 Appendix D Transcript for Culture, Sport and Tourism meeting on 1 April 2003. Chair: Welcome to this meeting of the London Assembly Culture, Sport and Tourism Committee. I’m Meg Hillier, the Chair of the Committee, and I’m joined by my colleagues Len Duvall and Mike Tuffrey. Danny Myers is the Committee Scrutiny Manager and Saba Master is the Committee Administrator. This is our second enquiry into the future of football stadia in London. Chair: There are nine witnesses here this evening; three from London’s football clubs, three from supporters trusts and supporters, and four from residents’ groups. Thank you very much for coming. Charles Koppel, please briefly outline why you saw the only future for Wimbledon FC to move to Milton Keynes? Charles Koppel: We did a considerable amount of work over a long period of time to find alternate locations for the club. A lot of that was done in partnership with Merton council, looking at sites within Merton. We also contacted approximately 35 other boroughs in and around South London and we appointed a leading planning and property firm to undertake a research report on our behalf. After all that came back with no options we realised we needed to look elsewhere. The Milton Keynes opportunity came along and we felt it appropriate to pursue it. Chair: You spent 12 years without a ground. How far a field were you prepared to go out of London? Charles Koppel: I’ve only been at the club for three years so I can’t speak for the previous nine, but it was a big issue for the club.
