Wimbledon not in a mess says Koppel

The Wimbledon chairman Charles Koppel insists all is well at the club despite hosting the worst-attended First Division match ever.

Only 849 people watched the 2-1 win over Rotherham at Selhurst Park on Tuesday – with 227 of those travelling from South Yorkshire.

Koppel insists the club are not the victim of a boycott by supporters battling to stop the club moving to Milton Keynes. "I would not say it's in a mess at all," he said. "They are no longer Wimbledon fans. They are former fans of the club who decided they don't want to be part of the club's future.

"They have their own club and we wish them the best. We are now losing less than we were last year and last year we were losing £20,000 a day."
