Big difference between 3pm and 7.15pm on a weekend heading into Xmas, people make plans it’s a stupid time and now many with kids can’t bring them or won’t attend at all.

FFS what bright spark thought up a 7:15 kick off on a Saturday evening.
Well done for not giving a shit about the fans once again.
It’s on the same tube line as our club. It’s hardly Carlisle away
Wimbledon Park? Do you know how long the walk is to the ground?

I go to Plough Lane for London Broncos rugby league. I was going to go to this one but would get home about midnight so will watch on TV.
Options are :
Go to Farringdon and get the half hourly Thameslink service to Haydon Road, which is about a 10 minute walk from the ground.
Get the Northern Line to Tooting Broadway and then a 25 minute walk (there is a bus service, I think the 453, but on a Sunday when Broncos play it is infrequent)
Go to Earlsfield from Waterloo. Then either hoof it (about 20 minutes) or a bus to Summerstown, which is 5 minutes from the ground.
I've never gone to Wimbledon and walked back. There is a pub in the ground but no idea if away football fans can use it. Of course at RL there is no bother and those who drink can take beer to their seats during the game.
Hope this helps. It's a nicely appointed modern ground but not the easiest place to get to. Parking round the area is quite restricted, lots of residents only areas immediately around the ground
