They are afraid of losing to a bunch of kids. I hope we stuff them |  | | |

Yes, but why are they objecting? |
I'm guessing that they think it devalues the competition?
They don't really make it clear though, I suppose the thing to mention is that they are encouraging their fans to go to their game against Plymouth rather than the one against us. |  | | |

Well done Wimbledon.
Tradition and passion, not cash and fashion.
Proper football only please. |  |

My ex-wifes first away trip was the Wemberlee trip in the Autoglass competition.
Trunds goal V Carlisle prior to Tatey and Trunds showing that our inferior neighbours really don't have a sense of humour when it comes to us winning anything.
IMHO, this does devalue the cup a bit
But at least any gate money the invited teams are due is given back to the L1 and L2 clubs, who, IMO need it the most.
The only good thing is it gives our development players competitive football. Now we can all see how they're coming on and if they look like they can make it |  |
| If you wake up breathing, thats a good start to your day and you'll make many thousands of people envious. |

On the plus side it gives us another chance of going to Wembley  |  | | |

But robs the likes of Newport, Brizzle Rovers, Accrington etc etc a chance of a day out like we had, the memories we have.
Maybe I'm getting too sentimental nowadays!
And truthfully, how many would we take to watch the kids playing Stevenage or similar?
Wouldn't be many of us.
6-7000 is my guess
Interesting take on it from the Guardian

I agree with the Dons.
Not a good move at all. |  |

All good, but they don't mind charging £10 to get in. If they really believed in their principles they would let their 17 fans in for nothing.
Aren't they MK Dons U23 team anyway ? |  |

I was thinking it might have been a £5 at most £10 is nonsense |  | | |

Maybe they could do the whole group stage with the academy sides but they have no chance of progression but who knows how seriously it would be taken then. So basically, friendlies. |  | | |

Two of my best friends are Plymouth fans, and although they have reservations about us being involved they're looking forward to our match (Is it going to be at the Liberty? I'm not sure)
I did assure them though, that if their team couldn't beat our youngsters and a few 3rd choice players then their teams really not good enough, as honestly, apart from what? 3-4 players in our u23s, they're all at best league 2 standard and have absolutely no experience of first team football
Though granted teams like Chelsea may be a bit more unfair |  | | |

The principle is right. What i wouldn't want to see is a premier league under 23 side at wembley taking the place of a league 1/2 side that needs the money and who's fans get the chance of going to Wembley. | | | |

Just too confirm, it's classed as a first team fixture and therefore rules state it has to be played at the Liberty. | |
