This Sunday sees the culmination of months of planning Fans United Day.

More than 70 different football clubs will be represented on Sunday and it's not too late to join in the fun and games.

A word of warning though, the club appear to be making it as difficult as possible to sit where you wish, so we urge you to get to the ground early to either exchange your tickets or buy them in the section you want.

The Arthur Waite stand has been designated a Fans United stand and blocks S, T and U have been set aside for fans to mix in their respective colours.

Season ticket holders from other parts of the ground may transfer to these blocks upon presentation of a voucher from their season ticket books at the main box office only.

The box office is only printing tickets on demand and as there are only five windows, we expect a huge logistical problem as more than 1,500 supporters descend upon Selhurst Park and try to exchange their tickets.

We know 1,500 will arrive together, because they will be marching from the Thomas Farley at 1.30pm and most are leaving their exchange until the day.

The box office will be open from 9.30am on Sunday, so if you can, please come early.

WISA reminds all supporters to behave in an orderly and legal manner and urges all supporters to show respect to other clubs' colours.

If you wish to make your feelings known about the Wimbledon FC Ltd situation, follow the lead of supporters and WISA officials, who will be guiding throughout the day.

This is going to be a very special day and we thank the supporters of all those clubs attending for their support.

We also acknowledge the hard work being put in behind the scenes.

More information is available at www.wisa.org.uk or from the Fans United team on 07798 557 591.Just two days to go until Fans United and the excitement is building.

Magical Bus Tour

An open-top, double-decker bus has been hired for Saturday to help advertise the Fans United event!

Packed full of Wimbledon Fans, the bus will tour the streets of Wimbledon, in-forming, people via a loud-hailer how they can save their local football team.

Thousands of people will be doing their Christmas shopping in Wimbledon on Saturday, so this is a perfect chance to bring our cause to them.

Leaflets have been printed, the bus will be decorated and filled with Wimbledon fans who care about their club and what is happening to it.

The bus will travel around Wimbledon town centre, Wimbledon Village and maybe further.

Everyone is asked to take part on Saturday, and claim Wimbledon back as their own.

Wear your colours, bring your banners, wave your flags and show the people of Wimbledon how much you want your club back where it belongs. This is OUR town, OUR club it's time we claimed it back.

Please get involved in the leafleting of pubs, of people in the streets and outside the shops. Wrap up warm but if you get cold you can always just climb back on the bus next time it goes past!

The day will start at 9:30am at Kingston Print Works, 297 Haydons Road. Get there on time because the bus needs to be decorated and prepare yourselves for a fun day.

If you can't make it for 9:30am, get down to Wimbledon from 11am onwards and lend a hand.

We need EVERYONE to take part. We want HUNDREDS of Wimbledon fans roaming the streets, so spare your football club a few hours or the whole day and show you care.

Official Wimbledon Fans Forum

All seven open places were taken by anti-Milton Keyners when the results were announced on Wednesday night.

The remaining places will be filled by two WISA rep-resentatives one from the Supporters Trust and two from Wimbledon Football Club Ltd. Therefore it seems likely the vote will be 10-2 against Milton Keynes.

Those elected to the Fans Council, in alphabetic order, are: Niall Couper, Steve Elson, Sean Fox, Karen Hardy, Tim Hillyer, Laurence Lowne and Mike O'Shaugnessy

So we now have the situation where WISA was rejected as the voice of the supporters by Charles Koppel in July, but now through his invention has returned a resounding vote to say WISA and those against Milton Keynes are the voice of supporters.

Mr Koppel wake-up and smell the coffee. Your hare-brained ideas are doomed and it's about time you realised it.

Build bridges with fans, Merton Council, residents and Safeways, since their building application has again been returned unapproved by the government inspector.

WISA has already demonstrated a new stadium will fit onto Plough Lane with a capacity of 18,000. So why not work with us, rather than against us? We await your call.

And on Sunday, at Fans United, we shall tell the country why we are going to succeed.
