Sorry but we're in completely the wrong category, since both our original and reformed teams have actually spent time in the Football League. Also we brought 1200 to you last season while Braintree will take 12...

He's not bullshitting, Tin Potters have absolutely no concept of the humiliation relegation is for a REAL football club.

 

[B2TF]

Nah.

FYI, relegation is totally unacceptable for ANY of the Brotherhood of Great & Historic Football League Clubs. There is no hierarchy within the Brotherhood, we are all equals and brothers.

I disagree. Not that I'd want to go back there given our current lofty(ish) position, The Conny Sarf was fun. Probably my favourite AFC Wimbledon season.

Probably because it's so easy for any club of a decent size to sail through. Unlike the League of Death that is the Northern division.

In the CS, every away game is reachable inside 2 hours travel time, so you can get to more games and have more of an affinity with these "local" clubs. You can drink on the terraces at most of the grounds and stewarding and policing are practically non existent. All in all, a far more enjoyable day out.

Eastleigh to Billericay inside two hours... really? Have you never driven on the M25?

 

[John Still]

Truro in two hours, how many free Bugatti Veron’s Does the chairman Lay on for free each Away game now?

Sure, the travelling time is a bonus, in fact I've argued for a few years now that L2 and NL should be merged and re-split into L2N & L2S. The other stuff you mention are only of interest to Tin Potters- we Brotherhood fans really ARE in it for the football!

Yip Billericay in 2 hours.

Via M3 and M25

At 2 in the morning it might take you 2 hours...

It’s not as though Eastleigh travelled well in the Conf South either

 

[Eastleigh Fan]

Fair comment, we probably took an average of about 50 to away games in the Conf South, but thats 50 proper fans. But also TBF, not many teams take more than that at that level.

 

[B2TF]

Why are they still here? How long till the piggy bank is empty?

 

[Eastleigh Fan]

We have enough money coming in from general revenue streams, sure its not Mr Donalds millions anymore, but we can cope at this level. Even more so next year when we will have ditched all these huge wage earners who's contracts are up at the end of this season. We could end up stronger next season, as i'm sure we will sign players on a lot less money, but players who care for the non league game, and are willing to put in a decent shift at this level.
