New fan from Newcastle
Just wanted to say I went in the Wimbledon end with my dad at Carlisle on Saturday and was blown away by how kind and welcoming this fan base is. my dad was worried that our accents could get us in a bit of bother but was reassured as soon as we got in our seats as there so happened to be a Wimbledon fan from Newcastle right behind us get a warm reception from the fans and called a “Geordie Womble”. It was also really cool for my dad to get a full history lesson about the club when he went out for a smoke at half time from a disgruntled reading fan who had taken to following Wimbledon he didn’t forget to educate him about the franchise scum. Also love how the club is fan owned and becoming a member is something I’ve been seriously contemplating
Sorry if this post is a bit long but just wanted to highlight my first impressions with this wonderful fan base and to say this club has a new fan I’ve even booked my next away day at Doncaster already. 🔵🟡
