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. |  |

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? | | | |

Didn't go for the cup match and won't go for the league game. Will go to a non league club instead. Will never set foot there, only 91 clubs in the leagues since they started.
I go to Kingsmeadow a lot to watch K's and whilst we were there one of their fans wore the kit, got a picture and then fcked off!?! AFC weren't even playing and he was about 50. Epic thundercnt. | |

I agree they should never have been allowed to do what they did. It could have been us swallowed up if Winkleman had his way. I know a few people who go there and they want to support a local team. They are what I would call floating fans support Arsenal Spurs etc but go local as it's cheap and a good stadium. They are producing lots of young talent in the academy and are very active in the community so this all helps to build a fan base. They have very basic training facilities less than Harlington yet still produce good players. We have a lot to learn. |  | | |

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. | |

That all sounds perfectly fine DW, but they shouldn't have been allowed to take another club's league position. |  |

But there was already a club in the town that could have been built up and respected. Wimbledon may have gone, we don't know, but their supporters didn't deserve to have the club transported 60+ miles. | | | |

As a regular at K's I know exactly what is thought, however that would never have happened if winkleman never stole a club. If Wimbledon were to die out then that was to be however doing what was allowed not only killed off Wimbledon but also the local non league football in Milton keynes as well as hurting kingstonian.
I often enjoy your posts but on this I think you are wrong. I think their fans are twts and the club got a free pass to a league position they never deserved. Tell me how you'd feel if winkleman had got QPR as he initially intended? | |

For all the fvck ups and dramas QPR football club has endured at the very least it is part of a history going back further than the lifespan of a pot plant and not built on the backs of a theft.
Worse than Chelsea in my opinion. [Post edited 3 May 2015 19:02]

They were at Selhurst Park, paying a huge rent in Division One (Championship), with crowds of 3k, owners who weren't prepared to bankroll them and heading for relegation with nobody wanting to buy them, and a huge debt. They were going bust and that is a fact. Winkelman took a huge chance and it paid off. Yes it could have been QPR but thanks to the fans it wasn't. Many Wimbledon fans did choose to follow them to MK and believe it not still travel to support them.
As far as the non-league scene in and around MK there has never been any real impetus and you could argue that Winkelman should have gone down this route but he chose not to. Like it or lump it all football teams are effectively franchises it is just that the vast majority do not move after a takeover.
And finally lets not forget that the original franchise football team was Arsenal. | |

They stole a league position, THAT has never happened before or since. And, for me, was an indictment on the fa, winkleman and the forty year old plastics whom support them.
And if you believe that football clubs are franchises then you're Pearsons ostrich, complete rubbish. | |

Agree 100% with above regarding stealing a club etc ?.......
However , they are here now and no matter what anybody says they are here to stay so we need to get used to that!
They WILl reach the premier league at some point in the next few seasons and I would not be surprised if they go up again next year !!
Half their fans are kids who have no ffking idea about the way they where formed.
The older lot ( the ones in their twentys etc ) really are a sight to behold when they get all football rowdy !
On a plus point , they are around the corner from me so the usual 7 hour round trip to watch us get beat will now only Take 10 mins to get home |  | | |

Don't think that is fair. They were powerless because it was a financial play that they couldn't compete with. What should of happened is the club should have gone bust, be removed from the league and then the league formation be reformed start of the next season with an extra club coming into the league from the conference. AFC would gave formed as they hav anyway, |  | | |

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 | | | |
