The Football News Thread 2015/16 - everything non-Wolves

Where did Wimbledon have to start?

 

[Sniffer]

If its liquidation does that mean starting again from non-league?

League 2 maybe? That's what happened with Rangers.

I'd say it would be somewhere way down in the non league Pyramid. Aldersh*t resigned from the league after going out of business in 1992. When reformed they started in the Isthmian Division Three.

Wimbledon started in Tier 9 but that wasn't a liquidation. Darlington went in at Tier 9 when they went bust and re-formed.

A lot would depend on the annual lottery of clubs asking to be demoted, turning down promotion or being relegated for non-footballing reasons which always happens at those levels. If there happened to be a spot available higher than Tier 9 then I expect Bolton would get special dispensation to take it. They wouldn't go in as high as Conference North though, I would think Tier 7 would be the absolute highest they could expect to start.

AFC Wimbledon were a new club.

When AFC Wimbledon was formed, it affiliated to both the London and Surrey Football Associations, and entered the Premier Division of the Combined Counties League, which is the ninth tier in English football.

Almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

I know that, I was just wondering how far down they had to go.

Were Darlington part of the football league when they folded? If Bolton went under they might just give the 92nd spot to the re-formed club and put them in League 2.

If it was Chelsea that folded tomorrow they wouldn't. The precedent has been set.

Darlo finished 22nd in the Conference (relegated) then got liquidated a couple of weeks later.

I don't think there's any chance Bolton would be parachuted straight into League Two. There are loads of ex-Football League clubs in the Conference who run on a full-time basis who would not look kindly on a new club being thrown in ahead of them.

As I have an affection for Forest Green it will naturally be them that get shafted in order to keep Bolton in the FL.

PL clubs have agreed to cap away tickets at £30 next season.

 

[YoungWolf]

A good start.

 

[Kenny]

PL clubs have agreed to cap away tickets at £30 next season.

For 3 seasons

 

[Lord Knows]

Amazing stat.

Ashley Williams has played 28,252 of Swansea’s 28,980 league minutes since their League 1 promotion 2008.

 

[SSB]

PL clubs have agreed to cap away tickets at £30 next season.

Hopefully the ones that charge more in the Championship will take note.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

PL clubs have agreed to cap away tickets at £30 next season.

Some already charge less, and as has been mentioned, surely championship clubs should fall into line. Maybe £20.

 

[Penk Wolf]

Football League have said they will leave clubs to decide the price.

 

[Alan]

How much are home ticket prices?

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

How much are home ticket prices?

It varies from club to club. We paid 25 quid each for seats in the North Bank for the Derby game, well worth it, the view was amazing and the facilities are much better than anywhere else in the ground, more space in the concourse etc

 

[Sniffer]

The Sports Shield Consortium have completed their takeover of Bolton Wanderers for £7.5m.

I'd like to see the fine details of that deal and how much of the Debts owed to Eddie Davies have been written off?

I hate to say it, but even given the disparity in the number of games between the NFL and the Champ, £25 for a ticket is so, so cheap compared to what we pay here.
