What, I wonder, were the Crazy Gangs average home gates before they became the plastic Dons? Remeber, they played at Plough Lane and yet they managed to get to 1st Division (Premiership) and win the FA Cup. It is possible to survive and, yes, even get promoted to the EPL, but would we, the supporters, be happy?
BTW, my thoughts on this subject are, we must never sell the ground etc for what could prove to be a folly
