Good day for the phoenix clubs today folks - AFC Wimbledon back in the league probably brings a smile to many fancies, it certainly did mine (2 ex Diamonds scoring their goals today).
My AFC Diamonds also played their first match today, U18's v Raunds reserves at the ground we will be sharing this season - I reckon just shy of 300 there to watch it, pretty good turnout I'd say.
I know phoenix clubs seem to be the fad of the moment, but I can assure you it can happen to anyone, and it is actually a positive feeling now looking forward. With Wrexham in trouble, others could be following an increasingly well trodden path...Plymouth?
Oh, and the FA have a new rule now that any Phoenix club cannot start above a certain level - ie, at least below Souther League level. Could be an irritant for bigger clubs in the future.
