Windsor and eton

[TRS]

PLEASE EXCUSE MY IGNORANCE TRS, SORRY I CAN'T REMEMBER, BUT CAN YOU TELL US WHEN WIMBLEDON PACKED UP AND MOVED ON, HOW LONG AGO AND WHAT LEAGUE DID AFC WIMBLEDON START UP IN - CCL PREMIER? WHAT GROUND DID THEY SHARE ?

 

 

,

 

2002 in the CCL, shared at Kingsmeadow. Only one division then, as it was the Surrey Senior League below although if that had been the League in which we were placed I doubt there would have been many complaints. Worth noting that the likes of AFC Telford, Nuneaton, Farnborough and similar I think started only a couple of Leagues lower and didn't have to wait to enter FA Cup/Trophy etc, as they are seen as a continuation. So you could say, a reward for failure.

[Smudge]

A.F.C Wimbledon,have always been well run,there support in their C.C.L. Days was bigger than Crawley's is now.Was it not Farnborough who had a similar windfall,then 2 years later went to the wall.Must be great for Crawley Supporters though,my advice is live the dream while it lasts,but doomed to certain failure I think so.NICE CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION,WHY DO YOU ALWAYS ASK A QUESTION?Have you no knowledge of Non League,I think you have.So give us your views on the matter.

[NICE GUY]

If the teams in the promotion places don't have there ground up to scratch what harm would it do having a new windsor club in our league? level the teams out to 22 and have a club with a great ground and good following? I heard the same thing Weebs!!

 

 

Yes, and i'm sure we can look forward to AFC Crawl£y coming to this League soon too. Nice ground and good following, although it will be back to usual levels by then of course.

 

There's no reason for these clubs to stop carrying on like this, when they know their debts will be scrubbed and they will only drop a couple of Leagues when it's all gone wrong (and it always does in the end). Some of them then start off on the same path again (and why not?). Until the FA does something about it, then it'll keep on happening. Best not hold your breath on that one.

Massive difference NICE GUY - Wimbledon FC didn't pack up or go bust, they just relocated to MK and changed their name to MK Dons - against the will of the majority of their "local" fans

 

AFC Wimbledon were a new Club formed by disillusioned supporters as opposed to an old Club gone pop. They shared with Kingstonian for a season or 2 before buying the ground.

 

Their inclusion in the CCL resulted from the Ryman League rejecting their application - the rest as they say is history

 

EXACTLY GF CCL ! EVERYONE IS SAYING THAT WINDSOR & ETON (AFC WINDSOR & ETON ?) SHOULD START AS A NEW FOOTBALL CLUB/TEAM AT STEP 6 CCL DIV. 1 - AGAIN, I MAYBE WRONG, BUT DID AFC WIMBLEDON START AT STEP 6 CCL DIV 1 WHEN THEY WERE A NEW CLUB/TEAM ?

[Krooner]

There wasn't s Step 6 within the CCL when AFCW started.

[NICE GUY]

SO KROONZ, ARE YOU SAYING THAT THE CCL PREMIER WAS THE LOWEST LEVEL AFC WIMBLEDON COULD GO TO ?

You've missed the point NICE GUY . The new Windsor team will be the reincarnation of a team that has gone bust owing thousands to their creditors. By contrast AFC Wimbledon were a brand new team connected only to the old team (which didn't go bust) by 1000's of supporters that didn't want to travel to Milton Keynes.

 

CCL didn't have a Div 1at that time, so after the Ryman League rejected them the CCL seized the opportunity. A 2500 crowd at Sandhurst watched the opening game (no disrespect but I doubt if AFC Windsor or whatever will muster 250 for their opening match)

NO GF I'M NOT MISSING THE POINT AND DO APPRECIATE WHAT YOU MEAN BEING THE 'DIFFERENCE BEING... ''NEW TEAMS''.

 

WHILST I APPRECIATE THE MATTER OF AFC WIMBLEDON BEING A ''BRAND NEW'' TEAM AND W&E (AFC W&E) BEING A REINCARNATION OF A ''NEW'' CLUB/TEAM. I'M THINKING ALONG THE LINES OF W&E FACILITIES, SUPPORT WHICH WOULD HELP ALL THE CLUBS IN THE CCL, AS IT CLEARLY DID WHEN AFC WIMBLEDON STARTED AND UNDERSTAND KEPT ALOT OF CCL CLUBS ''ALIVE''. NOW, AS THERE WASN'T A DIV. 1 THEN PERHAPS AFC W&E WILL START IN DIV 1 ?

BEING NEW ON THE CCL SCENE, I WASN'T AWARE THERE WASN'T A CCL DIV 1 THEN BUT WHY DIDN'T AFC WIMBLEDON START AT A LOWER LEAGUE AS THEY WERE A ''BRAND'' NEW CLUB/TEAM SAY IN THE MIDDX ELITE FOR EXAMPLE ......COULD IT BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEIR FOLLOWING I ASK ??? A BIT LIKE W&E ON A SMALLER SCALE ??

[Terrence Collina]

why should Div 1 miss out on playing at a nice ground in front of a couple of hundred supporters?

 

Anyway, I only have bad memories of Windsor and Eton. I got my first red card playing against them!

There wasn't a "formal" National League System at the time AFC Wimbledon was created - new Clubs "negotiated" with Leagues at their AGM's. The Ryman didn't see the benefits 2500 supporters would bring to their member Clubs (I was one of only 5 votes out of 90+ that voted to include them) so they went to the CCL meeting a few days later whose member Clubs welcomed them with open arms.

THANKS FOR THE INFO GF ....... INTERESTING

[SPIRIT OF NICE GUY]

Lets cast our minds back to many moons ago , when the old Aldershot packed up didant the new Aldershot town have to start right down in ryman division 3 !even back in those days thats a fair old drop .

[Krooner]

Yep. So Nice Guy Windsor to start in say the Slough Saturday League Division 6 ?

[CW1975]

I thought new clubs were not allowed to start in local leagues if the facilities they will be using are of a certain grade. That was my understanding when Croydon reserves were allocated to the Kent Second Div League a few seasons ago, they did want to go into the local league but facilities were too good.

I always had you down as a good judge GF

 

I'd always thought it was only a small number of votes against, but because it was so late in the day a 95% vote in favour was needed or something like that?

Sorry but the point is about the creditors.

Having run my own business for a long time I have lost count of the number of customers who have gone "into liquidation and then phoned me up to tell me that the original directors have bought back the company from the administrators for a nominal fee.

They then trade from the same address, telephone number and bank.

The creditors get 1p in the pound if you are lucky.

The revenue , vat and bank are prefered creditors and divvy up anything that remains and we all go on as before, except without being paid.

Presumably Windsor and Eton 2011 Ltd will carry on as per company law but when will anybody stand up for the creditors?

Nothing personal about W and E but the lunch is never free, short term gain is usually long term pain , clichees over!

What do you think?

[Big J R]

As far as W & are concerned, I had a very long chat on the phone yesterday with one of the people mainly responsible for the re-building of a club.

 

Their ground at Stag Meadow IS safe, and as far as Leagues are concerned, they have several options open to them. A lot will depend on other clubs possibly folding and the future promotio/relegation battles

 

Obviously their 'playing career' this season is over, and I would ask any teams who have a free date to consider a friendly with them. I do have the right contact.

Just read in the local paper that they have pretty much agreed a new lease for the new club from the Crown Estate and that it looks like they will go into the Hellenic (already had discussions with Hellenic league who would be more than happy to accept them).

 

Obv that's if you believe everything that is written by the press.

What you have read is correct. Crown Estates are happy and Hellenic looks like their option.

Totally agree with your comments,spend above your means take the consequences.But what always marvels me is how do these CLUBS albeit new entities get credit facilities,ie Brewery,or do they make sure their paid before going to the wall.My old Dad told me,once a knocker always a knocker.Don't even feel sorry for the SUPPORTERS of these clubs,they know whats going on,and take the glory,but never take the pain of the CREDITORS.

Exactly, if you look at it in the same way as a business, which to all intents and purposes a football club at this level is, they are doing the same thing.

Landlords are happy to let them go on renting ( presumably) the ground, they will get paid!

Players may or may not get paid, think that has been discussed!!!!!

Brewery will extend credit, they will get paid.

CCL or Helenic league get a new club with a superior ground and a crowd.

So if you are the local business, supplier of burgers, plumbing, roofing repairs, stationery etc. etc. look at the last page of the voluntary agreement when it lands on your desk and see how many other people a company owes when it goes bust. who don't get paid and let me know if you think this is ok?

Again nothing personal to W and E FC but presumably this has happened because players wages were paid out in cash and HMRC hace decided they were owed their share, of course like the boy in the orthopedic shoes I stand to be corrected on that one but a well known club in North Cove comes to mind!!!!
