Today I went to watch to my local ground (Kingsmeadow, 20 minutes walk from my house) to watch AFC Wimbledon play vs Cambridge United. I was in the away end with the Cambridge faithful, approx. 700 of them.
Have to say that the highlight of the day probably was the four pints of Kronenbourg 1664 that I had in the Albert pub, closely followed by a bag of chips from the chippy near the ground. The match ended 0-0, and rightly so as there was no worthy winner. Cambridge had most of the possession for the first hour, whilst AFC got increasingly threatening in the last 30 minutes. Anyway chances were at a premium today so one point each is a just reward for both teams.
I was pleasantly surprised by the attendance of 4,128 fans, which for a non-league match is no mean feat. I bet you that it’s going to be higher than the attendance in most matches in League 2 this weekend.

Hope you enjoyed your day and that we might see you take in another game at Kingsmeadow. That was the last of the 'expected' against the bigger teams in the division type game. So getting into the ground for the major part of the rest of the season should be easier - pay on the door. Check at www.afcwimbledon.co.uk to make sure. A fair result in the end but I was a bit disappointed that AFCW didnt nick it at the end :-)
