ah was 3-0 at h-t... interesting section here from the match

report in the Guardian...

---------------

Banging the banks of empty seats around them is the best Wimbledon's smattering of fans can muster to show support for their team these days. The loneliness of the soon-to-be long-distance Don is profound.

The fans' continued attendance can barely be called loyalty, given that Wimbledon are an unrecognisable sham of the club which brushed aside allcomers on their rise through the leagues. But without them Wimbledon would cease to exist and, morals aside, it is a shame for the players that performances such as Saturday's aren't celebrated more widely.

Around 1,000 home fans were said to be present but few of those are expected to return tomorrow night when Rotherham are back at Selhurst Park in the Worthington Cup, a fixture which attracted 849 fans in the league last week.
