Gutted they have been promoted. Will never go there. Disgusted by their conception and there but by the grace of God. Hate how the media never bother to question their legitimacy, should have started in the evo Stick league. Scum club. |  |

The real villain of the piece in this is that absolute w@nk stain on the face of humanity, Sam Hammam. He only ever had his eyes on selling Plough Lane and trousering the proceeds. He made no attempt whatsoever (despite what he may have said) of finding an alternative site in the borough of Merton for a new ground. As soon as he moved them from Plough Lane and ground shared at Selhurst Park they were always on course for a slow death.
Agree with what others have said though, if Wimbledon had gone bust their place in the 92 should have been filled by another Conference club and if MK wanted a league club they should have gone down the Rushden & Diamonds route. |  |

Sorry mate, you don't know what you are talking about, that is absolute bollocks.
Wimbledon were not a poorly run club they were a very well run club when Hammam got his mits on them. They were a club that followed our old model of finding lower league rough diamonds, developing them and selling them on for a decent profit.
The ground was not sold due to debts it was sold by the crook Hammam because he saw it as a very valuable, prime bit of London real estate. | |

Wholeheartedly agree although it's a good away day.
Who are these adults supporting them? How can you have any passion for a team that was invented in your 20s/30s/40s? Were they just supporters of United and Liverpool living in MK? What was wrong with going to Wycombe or Northampton, proper clubs? |
The adults "supporting" them are the kind of blokes who support clubs in the Premiershite. Wouldn't have happened 30 years ago. Sign of the times. | | | |

I'm a QPR fan in my 40's who lives in MK who was there today.
I've lived in MK since 1975 when my parents moved from Hayes.
Used to be a season ticket holder, these days am only a member and get to about 10 home games a season.
I have a young family, two boys who are football mad and play Saturday mornings which means getting to LR is a bit of a rush.
My boys both support QPR and come to games with me, meeting up with family / friends who go to QPR games. They both wear QPR shirts when out playing football with their friends, at football training and anywhere else we will let them.
However we can't get to every home game so do go to games
occasionally to watch the Dons as a lot of their friends go and the added bonus is that under 12's are free, so for about £15 we get an afternoon at a game, the kids are happy and we get to see a team that play good passing football.
I don't support the Dons, I don't stand up and cheer when they score but I don't mind my children cheering when their local team scores, to them and their friends they all class the Dons as their '2nd team' - not a phrase I believe in as you can't have a 2nd team, however it gets the kids into going to football with their friends on a Saturday afternoon which is a good thing in my opinion.
So on the plus side, it's good for MK, their academy is producing good young players, they are playing attractive passing football, it's cheap to watch in relatively comfortable surroundings.
I have colleagues at work who happen to have moved to MK for work and because they support teams like Liverpool / Norwich / Ipswich / Hull City / Celtic / Newcastle / Bristol City, all the London teams for whatever reason (work / wives / kids / finances) can't get to their teams games but can get to a live game at their local stadium and regularly go to games - surely that's good for football?
On the downside the formation of the team was wrong, the adults wearing replica kits and calling themselves 'MK Army' is just plain wrong, then again living locally I'd rather see these silly people wearing football shirts for their local team then the team they used to 'support' (but never attended matches at), I'm sure that we all know loads of people who support teams all over the country but never actually go to games, so getting those people to live football has got to a good thing?
The Dons are doing well and are doing a good job of attracting young fans, who will become fans over time.
In 10 years time when my oldest is 20 I'd love it if he was coming to watch QPR with me every other week, however if him and his friends were going to MK Dons games I'd be happy with that as he would be supporting his local team, however they were formed because that is what football is all about.

They should of been on the pitch every game and abandoning games rather than just accepting it IMO |
TBH I'm not sure that would have changed anything.... |  | | |

Yawn! Same old, same old. Get over it. Fact is the old Wimbledon would have gone bust and replaced more than likely by a club that would have struggled to survive in the league. Instead you have a club that does great things in the town and youngsters that would never ever been engaged with a professional football club that would have otherwise been either celebrating the scums success today or supporting ManUre, Arsenal etc. They are a very well run club, a chairman that is as eager as ours but knows a manager when he sees one. An excellent youth set up producing kids that we could only hope to see in a hooped shirt. And the ground is fantastic. They certainly are a club on the up so get used to it. Now ask a few Kingstonian supporters what they think of AFC Wimbledon. |
I am with DW on this. Get over it you franchise haters, it's wearing a bit thin. Good on Winkleman and the Dons, I will go to the game next season. | | | |

I don't think of mk dons as Wimbledon at all these days. Just Milton Keynes.
Its history now, rightly or wrongly they have legitimate fans growing up in the area that support their local club which as pointed out is better then supporting Man u or Chelsea . Yes they should have gone up the leagues properly but they are hardly big time Charlies and look like they develop their players properly and play decent football.
I've only enough hate for a few clubs/managers/players/fans , and MK Dons are quite low on the list for me... Until we play them and lose of course! |  |

It`s the manager who puts me off rather than the Franchise.
He reminds me of a dinner lady.

Totally agree Camberley
Let's not forget he had no interest in securing a proper site after plough lane, all he tried to do was take Wimbledon to Dublin and fleece the fans by raking in the money from the Irish,
They would of slipped out of the leagues regardless , AFC was the best thing for them
As for Dons yes it was bad how they came about but like it or not they are in the championship now and it won't be long until they are in the PL then watch that club grow |  |

Good post mate.
I know Merton Council were interested in developing Beddington Lane and consulted Wimbledon about a potential stadium development. Hammam wasn't interested.
After all the gimmicks, the Crazy Gang cheer leader bull sh*t, he was a c*nt in the end and hung that club out to die. |  | | |
