AFC WIMBLEDON REMAINING FIXTURES ... IF/WHEN LEAGUE ONE CONTINUES

AFC Wimbledon's last completed fixture was the 0-0 draw at home against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday 7th March. All English Leagues were suspended after then and will remain so until at least the end of April at the earliest. While my personal view is that we are not even close to resuming sport the season should be completed at some point even though if we called it a day now we'd be safe for another season, but that's not the point really. With the Government about to confirm that lock-down will remain in place for at least another three weeks.

Our CEO, Joe Palmer, updated the fans earlier in the month about a number of matters which included the New Plough Lane Stadium construction and had this to say about the discussions with the Football League body; 
The Football League has written to every club expressing its determination to complete the season, even if that means games being played throughout June, July and possibly beyond. Should this be the case, Chelsea have agreed in principle to let the club play its remaining fixtures of the 2019/20 season at Kingsmeadow. Should fans be allowed to attend – and, of course, we all want that – then current season tickets will still be valid. If the matches must be played behind closed doors, the current proposal from the League is to ensure all matches are streamed live for fans to watch from their homes.
The League estimates we will need a period of 56 days to complete the season and is advising that the recommencement of training sessions should not commence until May 16 “at the earliest”. Clearly this date may well be pushed back, depending on how the UK responds to the current epidemic. On the playing side, many of you will know that individual player contracts usually expire on June 30. Whilst discussions are still taking place with the various footballing stakeholders, it looks that in principle clubs will be able to extend those contracts on the same terms until the finalisation of the season, but we still await further approval.

If/When we get the green light to restart(?) here are the outstanding games that need to be completed and will determine our League One status, original dates are shown as we'd expect games to continue in this order, although probably being played behind closed doors, and probably two games a week to bring the season to a conclusion.
