In the first ever game for AFC Wimbledon 4654 fans (official figures) packed Sutton United's Gander Green Lane. There were so many people they had to delay the kick off for 45 minutes.
The Wimbledon fans sung from start to finish cheering on the new dons, and attacking crystal palace, Milton Keynes and Charles Koppell with every opportunity. They were relentless - creating an amazing atmosphere.
The match itself was good. Wimbledon played with a lot of flair - their midfielders played a few tricks with the ball. Their lack of playing as a team started to unravel in the second half when Matt Gray (Sutton's winger) and Kevin Cooper ripped their defence apart - their defence looked very shaky. Sutton deservedly won but 4 -0 was a little too complimentary. As regards the Dons their fans sang long after the match had finished and a large majority of their fans went on the pitch to cheer on their new team.
On the plus side AFC Wimbledon's side looked good in the first half. They had a classy midfielder - cant remember his name (he was 17 or thereabouts) who could play. They passed the ball well - they should climb out of the combined league at the first attempt - at least with the great following they have got.
