Chris and George join Nick this week as part of a Rainbow tribute act (and yes, there is plenty of Bungle in this episode). As Stu is on annual leave to attend a private performance of Priscilla, this week’s trio discuss the defeat to Accrington, when fans will return to stadiums, iFollow, and Alan Partridge.
Nick and Stu have a philosophical chat about the state of the game, whilst also looking back at the excellent win at Fleetwood. Alongside that, we have a confirmed date for the first fixture to be played at Plough Lane, so we look at the stadium situation, and when fans might eb able to witness a game there. We’re also chatting about tomato ketchup, and Boyzone.
The club’s Marketing Controller, Klaudia Wieczorek, talks to us about her role at AFC Wimbledon, and the insanity of the past few months. She’s also got some controversial views on tea. Not quite as bad as James Shea, mind. Alongside that, we discuss the somewhat incredible 4-4 draw with Plymouth, and look ahead to the trip to Fleetwood. We also chat Michael Hughes, Darragh MacAnthony, Match of the Day, and Ryan Sweeney.
Mark Lewis discusses the Yellow & Blue 10-point plan on how to reaffirm the vision of the Dons Trust, and the role an ongoing series of online webinar debates has played in opening a dialogue about the key issues surrounding the club’s governance and objectives.
The league season is underway and we have a creditable 2-2 draw at Northampton to discuss first up. However, we are mindful that we have football to enjoy, as fans of other clubs have a myriad of other concerns to focus on at present. We chat Macclesfield, and a number of other clubs facing troubled times as the reality of the COVID lockdown starts to bite – test crowds or not.
No entry for fans as the season kicks off, but we can look ahead to the season anyway. We’re polishing off our crystal balls to run through how we think League One is shaping up this year, with a few surprises in amongst our picks for promotion and relegation. Either side of that, we review the League Cup defeat at Oxford, and have another round of Whose Nine Is It Anyway – yet to feature the number nine, naturally.
With the club returning to Plough Lane this season, two new, bespoke kits were designed to mark a monumental moment in football history. Marc Jones explains the thinking behind our new first and change shirts, how he came to be involved in the process, and how the launch videos were produced.
Glyn returns to the podcast to discuss preparations for the new season, including how the squad is shaping up, how he wants to make Loftus Road a home away from home, and how he views the remaining days of the transfer window. He also talks about the buzz around the club at the moment as we head back to Plough Lane in a resplendent new kit. We have all the usual gumpf either side, and discuss some legendary names in our new game. See below for a timeline of the show.
The podcast is back for a new season, and we start by speaking to Geoff Norcott: comedian, podcaster, and, most importantly, Wimbledon fan, about his memories of Plough Lane, returning home, and the joys of being a football supporter. There’s a little bit of politics in there too, although we promise not to make a habit of it. We also have a brand new game, and we run a quick eye over our summer signings. See below for a timeline of the show.
The 2019-20 League One season has been curtailed, with final league places determined by unweighted points-per-game. The decision confirms our place in the third tier for next season, but the delay in confirming arrangements has made forward planning very difficult. Glyn Hodges joins us to discuss the issues at hand.
