Interview with Johnnie Jackson and Jake Reeves: “AFC Wimbledon promotion bid can be inspired by crazy gang spirit”
Exclusive: The captain and manager of AFC Wimbledon hope to connect with supporters by drawing on the club’s heritage to win a spot back in League One.
Pre-season schedules seldom include a night out in Benidorm, but AFC Wimbledon has never shied away from trying new things.
The appropriately named 12th Man Sports Bar hosted an event on a bright July evening that served as the launchpad for the new campaign.
The Wimbledon players and staff mingled with supporters over the course of two hours, as the club’s unfortunate new signings were presented with a lively crowd for their initiation songs. Boss Johnnie Jackson is keen to ensure occasions like that are not a one-off.
“It used to happen a lot and we went away from it,” Jackson tells Standard Sport.
“It’s about getting that connection back with the fans and understanding what Wimbledon is all about. We want a team that represents that: hard-working, against the odds, up and at ‘em. Tapping into the Crazy Gang spirit.”
After a few seconds of contemplation, he qualifies that somewhat: “Maybe not as crazy as those boys used to be!”
