Programme Printing & Sponsor – Cats Solutions Best wishes And all our First Team player sponors and all our groundside board sponsors Mark WORLD OF FOOTBALL this week looking at ....fans clubs Ten days ago, when the Wootton Bassett Town game at Binfield fell victim to a lunchtime postponement, the Smedley family had a decision to make. With Scott already in Woking and with Stuart already on the train out of Waterloo what were we going to do that afternoon? With wife Claire wanting to go shopping in Kingston the solution was easy, a trip to watch AFC Wimbledon play in the Blue Square Premier, AFC Wimbledon playing at the old Kingstonian ground in Kingston. With the car parked up near the shops Stuart, Scott and I set off on foot for the football ground. Now it did not look too far on the map but took us a good twenty five minutes. Not really knowing where we were going and not seeing too many fans heading in the direction of the ground we wondered whether we had gone in the right direction but in the end we had taken the most direct route, the ground is just a little way out of the town centre! The game did attract a crowd of just over 3,000 in a nice little stadium that Swindon Town may well be visiting next season.
