| Quote BigTime="BigTime"..The fan zone was decent but not heaving, one consequence was only 2 choices of food the £10 pizza or the £10 burger. As the latter appeared to have the kids frying up and burning things I went for the former. Not sure it’s really match day food especially with limited seating but it was fine. The failure to provide any napkins was in my opinion poor.

They had napkins (and wooden forks) at the Burger stall ! The Burger guys originally ran a Vegan stall (last year) but included Burgers this season. I'm not a big Burger/Chips fan but it is good quality. £10 is too much for any food from a stall, but second time I've had it this season and I was happy with what I ate. They had three options today, Burger, Hot Dog or Meatless Burger.
Both the Burger/Vegan stall and Pizza van are at AFC Wimbledon matches. Personally I prefer MyPie, Jerk Chicken, Ding Dong (Chinese) and Doner Kebab (occasional football vendor) over both today's options.
I don't think the Broncos did themselves any favours with MyPie (first Bradford home maybe?) leaving them isolated with the Away Fans in the South Stand. £9 for pie, mash and peas raises eyebrows but at least is understood as pricing in London. Not surprised our visitors from up North with no knowledge of the quality of the food, are not going to pay London prices, especially if nobody local is buying and they don't overhear positive comments. In the same way I was going no where near the food at Arsenal (when AFC Wimbledon played there) with their excessive "London Premiership Prices" - possibly £24 for some combo meal.

Agreed. Nor the pub which offers a far better selection of beer than the concession stand. |

| Quote Smithers99="Smithers99"
London prices are pretty difficult to stomach but I think most will feel an oven fired 10inch pizza for a £10 feels a bit different and thus more accept table than a £10 burger and chips which I suspect most up North will feel is a bit strong especially when the chef keeps burning the buns. I think quite a few pizzas and hot dogs got sold so possibly those two concession stands will be back. On a personal level I prefer the £5 pie or hot dog from the stadium concession stand but if a better quality of food experience makes it a better game day experience then I’m happy enough.

| Quote northernbloke="northernbloke"Fair score today.
Batley were much more organised at the last tackle. Some good training park moves were working for them with some good angle running, and switching the attack
Broncos made some basicc errors, macani getting taken into touch at a kick return was turning point of game for me. I still think macani gets caught out of position in defence to many times.
Penalty being questioned was for late shot on the kicker, difference between the similar one against London in first half was about 2 seconds! Difference was London players feet were still off ground when he got hit, Batley player kicking foot was back on the ground. All down to timing.
Good crowd and good atmosphere, if it's just that stand that's going to be in use with nothing in the shade its going to be a problem. Food on offer looked good, wonder how many folk knew where club shop was though.
There were more there than club thought, they ran out of paper tickets.'"
Decent point on Macani it was poor when he got dragged into touch but I did think he was one of the few who challenged and broke the line and compared to how anonymous he was for the early part of last season he is a transformed player and an asset. |

Yeah agree in attack generally he was a handful. Still think he gets caught out too much in defence, maybe it's a communication thing with the centre

The cask ale in the pub today was great. |

Really enjoyed that.Better than expected.Having the crowd in the smaller east stand certainly improved the atmosphere.The fan zone thing could be really good in the warmer weather.It might be an unpopular opinion but I love it that the team play at Plough Lane.It’s a belting little stadium,in a great part of London.
Thought the game itself was really good.Had a sinking feeling when Batley went over early that it might be a long afternoon.Apart from a 15 minute spell in the second half when we were too predictable,we gave a good showing.Hopefully wins come sooner rather than later so fans keep coming back.

Possibly, but the ref wasn't looking at the first one. |

Meadows made a big difference when he came on and showed what we are missing in our halves, Batley's last tackle play's were more imaginative and they were able to play off the platform set by their robust forwards. Quite simply they were better than us in most area's of the field, including some Oscar winning performances. Did my eyes deceive me or did one player appear to headbutt the ground in the tackle?. Of course he got the pen. as well. All adds up to a more experienced team taking home the points. We desperately need a half back.
I can't really comment on the first half as the flipping sun was in my eyes most of the time, WTH is it going to be like in the summer?
Still, won't have to worry the sun next week up in Whitehaven I guess, if I see us lose up there 1 more time I think I will just give up ! For me it's all ready a relegation 4 pointer

Whitehaven is certainly a game London need to target. The final position this season won't be decided by results against Batley, we know they are the better side.
I think there's enough in the first 17 to avoid too serious a relegation battle but am worried about what happens when injuries strike.
Meadows made a big difference yesterday, the halves is an area that could do with strengthening in an ideal world.
