Hi,
Many thanks for your email, we really appreciate the feedback.
We have had some really useful responses around the design and the wording which will be incorporated to create some final designs for consideration.
On the request of fans, the process has now been extended with the deadline for feedback now October 20th. We agree that it is important to make sure the gates are right especially given they are to be a permanent feature to pay tribute to the club’s historic return to The Valley.
Therefore, the designs will be adjusted based on the fan feedback and presented, for review, to a working group of fan representatives ahead of the AFC Wimbledon game on October 28th in a similar process to the kit consultations on this season’s and next season’s kit.
Thanks again,
Charlie

I know what you mean Baldy about the generic email replies but... I was waiting for a Dear Customer/Client start to the reply which didn't happen and I left trap for them to fall into when they tried to address it to me, which Charlie didn't fall for. Somebody has at least looked at the email and tailored the response to me. It is the most I could have wished for really.Baldybonce said:

When they're open the right side will be 'Athletic Alley'..might give a few people the wrong idea of what's ahead!cafc999 said:Just taken me 5 minutes to knock this up as a starter.
Of the gate designs being given as an option, I do think that the one similar to the one you've used is the best (C), just the choice of words I'm not keen on.

Classic example of a simple design that incorporates the key date

Controversial but take away the unnecessary badge and this is a strong but simple design with the old palace badge echoed in the arch on the top and it is balanced.

Just leave them alone, get Roger Alwen to reopen them, simple really. Feel quite strongly about this!16

If you're not going to the meeting perhaps you can give this suggestion for somebody to pass on.1 -
Assuming a different entry can be used for the celebration gates, and the original ones can be retained, my suggestion is:-
Gates similar to gates C
Top arch THE VALLEY – FLOYD ROAD
Left gate [badge] CHARLTON
FOUNDED 9.6.1905
Right gate ATHLETIC F.C. [badge]
EXILE OVER 5.12.1992
Suggested colour scheme Black & Silver1 -
something that harks back to the Valley of old somehow would be good perhaps

Squirrel face will no doubt cut the ribbon to open the new gates. To rapturous applause, ahem.1

Don't even go there. Should be a day that brings back memories, evokes emotion, celebrates those that got us back to OUR home, not some wretched soul trying to dine out on it. - heroes are those in person and in spirit - let's celebrate them. And not just let one of the greatest days of many lives be a PR stunt.7

Has to be balanced or surely it wouldn't open correctly??Henry Irving said:Controversial but take away the unnecessary badge and this is a strong but simple design with the old palace badge echoed in the arch on the top and it is balanced.

How refreshing. I saw five pages of posts and was ready for "who says they aren't spending money on the club" and other myopic, uber-optimistic, drivel. Instead, five pages of delicious, toe-curling abuse. I'm loving it! The designs look cheap to me and I have to wonder if they could just be planning an opening ceremony with Father Roland dropping in on the kids he hasn't seen in three years since he left his family.1

Leave it out mate they're just a bit of history ...............2014 was actually year zero anything before doesn't exist in certain peoples eyes.Rock Spectacle said:Call me crazy, but those gates are iconic as it is, they may not be glamorous but those were the ones that were first unlocked - don't take them away.

The Gates to Muir of Ord Football Club look better than any that this useless crowd have come up with
