Four Of Clubs Jolly good - all 5 you've answered are correct -
.... just needs someone to be @rsed to look up where the Answer to No.3 play their home games.
... and that season 02/03 AFC Wimbledon brought untold wealth and thousands of well-behaved supporters wherever they went.
I managed to see them at Hartley Wintney (where they lost!) - though it was supposed to be all-ticket for 'away' fans - we got some funny looks when we claimed to be 'neutrals' from Reading.
There were dozens of Chairmen of Combined Counties League clubs, rubbing their hands with glee when, at the end of that season, Wimbledon didn't manage to go up. Their unbridled joy was purely financially-based. Teams like Feltham for example - who copped a 'short-straw' first time round and got landed with a midweek home game at their rickety old arena. The following season the CCL commitee tried to ensure that any club who missed out on a Saturday game vs AFC Wimbledon in 02/03 - were guaranteed one for 03/04!
I think they almost certainly set attendance records at nearly every club they visited that season and at quite a few more teams, on their subsequent rise up to where they are now.
The 'official' crowd figure at Sandhurst was 2,449 - it was AFC Wimbledon's first game that season - an unprecedented crowd for this league.
Sad to say of the two sides that finished above them that season: - Withdean 2000 are no longer a senior Saturday side - they were denied promotion cos they groundshared at the time with Worthing & Brighton Ressies.
AFC Wallingford finished the following season as runners-up again - this time to AFC Wimbledon - they have since slipped back to two levels below CCL Premier and struggle on in the North Berks league - having tried the Hellenic for a spell.

Oh right, I didn't understand that Q4 related to Q3. In that case it must be Alwyns. I was looking for any old ground that happened to be the name of a composer
Cheers for all the gen on Wimbledon - very interesting. I guess the crowd at Town tomorrow will only be pushing towards the ton.

rg6royal I love the fact that they are singing songs to the opposing fans but there are hardly, if any of them there!
