View From MK Dons

If they had cultured a team

Yup, a bacterial infection is preferable to MK Dons.

Milton Keynes: What depression would look like if it took solid form.

Those cunts should thank their lucky stars that they'll even be in Division 4 next season, given that they shouldn't even exist.

I hope they all had a shit and difficult journey home. Although it probably wasn't as bad as their destination.

Plastic scum.

It's not often I feel the depths of hatred to match your own TD but you have me here. You did manage to miss soulless and everything wrong with football.

 

[Lt. J Dangle]

Are they for real? .... Oh no they're not actually are they.

We should have sung 'Plastic Man' by the Kinks to them.

Or "Shit town, no fans (repeat)" ?

 

[Karaoke Blade]

Maybe they think that if they say it often enough that people will believe they are a city.

A bit like the myth that Stuart Maconie started that Bob Holness played the sax on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street. Some people believed it but it didn't change the fact it was utter bollocks.

This reminds me of a conversation I had with a woman at work a few years ago. It went something like this:

Me: Did you see The Andrew Marr show yesterday?
Her: No. He used to be in The Smiths you know.
Me: Who?
Her: (with a straight face) Andrew Marr.
Me: Yeah, very funny.
Her: No, he was. He played guitar.
Me: That was Johnny Marr.
Her: No, I think you'll find it was Andrew Marr. My brother told me.
Me: Oh right, it must be true then.

Apologies for the lateness. Got ridiculously drunk last night. Fell over , was sick and now feel like death is better than life

Anyway.....

Christ, most of us leaving the game thought that they were a decent side who will finish closer to the top than the bottom. I wouldn't even write them off for the play offs, yet they all seem suicidal and think they are heading for the League two

 

[crucialkneeligaman]

More like it Roy. Was getting a bit upset being praised the last few weeks.

Not in their nature Robby.

 

[Isar]

we do have something in common and here he is showing off the wonders of MK:

I have just watched all of that, it was good in a cheesy sort good way.

 

[Isar]

Maybe he was one of the few Wimbledon fans who stuck with what he saw as 'his club'. It was a difficult choice at the time. One no supporter should have to make.

I agree, no football fans should see their football club relocated 40 miles, it was an absolute disgrace the way it was all maneuvered. There is nothing wrong with MK having a football club, but at least let the club start in the non-league roots.

Here starts the football club franchise.
Starting in 2000,[14] a consortium led by music promoter Pete Winkelman and supported by Asda (a Walmart subsidiary) and IKEA proposed a large retail development in Milton Keynes including a Football League-standard stadium.[16][17] The consortium proposed that an established League club move to use this site;

if you were watching carefully you'll have seen a roundabout and the roller skating was in the MK shopping centre - Cliff looks like he'll fall over at various points

Dumb twats, Cheers Roy

Sick? Roy you gotta watch that oesophagus and upper stomach mate.Take a break.

 

[Blade56]

Went in a MK McDonalds, beef burger was like concrete

First time I have had a drink for a month or so which probably explains my poor performance. Out of practice

Let it go.........

Absolutely not, they're an abomination, a malignancy on the game.

I hate MK Dons. I hate everything about how they came to exist, how they ripped the heart out of one of football's great fairytales and how they then have ideas above their station and delusions of granduer. I hate that they have fans who 'support' them and Man U/Arse/Chelsea. I hate that they get 5 thousand to a league game then 30 thousand against Man U reserves in the league cup. I hate that the media, sky in particular, seem to be up Winkleman's arse and glamourising how great Stadium MK and the franchise is.

Then I stop and think, think that at some point the horrible way they came to exist will be history, their fan base will be made up of people to yploung to have lived that and they will be true fans of their local team (there may even be some now) and I wonder if I am being too harsh.

I then read comments like that and I think fuck the bunch of plastic, false, yuppie, new town wankers. Even their fucking cows are fake. Stupid fuckers.

Wimbledon found plenty of plastics at Wembley and they didn't start at the "bottom". They got a leg up and started a fair way up the league chain. Not the fairy take some think.

Yes the they started at National League Level 6 as opposed to Level 7, massive difference.

They would have still got to the Football League it would have just been a year or two later is all.

If its any consolation Peter Winkleman didn't look too happy when I caught up with him at the end of Dronnie bypass about half five Saturday evening.

Any time you see the bloke he looks like he's just been force fed a tub of Bella Emberg's fanny batter.

I understand where you are coming from but Wimbledon were despised by many. The reinvention of them is laughable. Rose tinted spectacles for a club that couldn't hack it.

Why would they start at level 7. New club. Irrespective, they didn't start at the bottom, which is what I said.

Before Hamman got pissed off after all he'd done for them, they were no better than anyone. Southport for example. The love in for them is solely based on an understandable dislike of MK, so let's not pretend otherwise. They went out of the league because at the end of the day they couldn't hack it. They aren't the old Wimbledon any more than MK are. The decision over the FA Cup proves this.

New keyboard needed.

They couldn't hack it or their owners sold them out?

And for what it's worth, a lot of people disliked Wimbledon's style, but defended the right of the people of Merton to keep their football club. Because football clubs ultimately belong to communities not speculative money chasers.

How can a club that vanished when they were still in the 2nd tier be unable to hack it in the football league exactly? Yes they were 24th and relegated but their first team had all but vanished before that, due in no small part to the uncertainty caused by the unnecessary relocation issue started by Charles Koppel.
They may well have slid down the pecking order by their own making, like Crewe. This doesn't mean they deserved erasing from history, nobody does.....except Wednesday.

Most football fans are happy that their fans fought back and got what they see as their club back into the league. Happier still they now have parity with that brave new artificial construct that was intended to replace them.

No need to get that sexually excited, It's only Bella Emberg.

Hamman didn't get much backing and sold out. The local community didn't support the club. That's clear to see.
As I said, much of the sympathy for them arises from the dislike of Franchise.
Plenty of clubs have gone out of the league and few give a toss. Wimbledon are no different.

The people who owned it at the time didn't have the support they required. It may have suited them to take cash for the land but at the end of the day lots have clubs have dropped from the league. No they haven't necessarily gone out of business. Very few outside the community give a toss. The fairy tale about Wimbledon is exactly that, a fairy tale. They've done well no doubt, but so have Accrington Stanley. How many give a toss about them?

But Wimbledon didn't drop out of the league, they were deliberately replaced by an entirely synthetic construct whose creators had the audacity to claim was the clubs logical continuation. There's no historical precedent for that and I would certainly hope it's never repeated.

It's not uniquely about Wimbledon FC for me. The fact that this whole thing was allowed to happen at all raises deeper implications about modern football. What happened with MK Dons a decade ago could lead to another club being replaced by Red Bull tomorrow.

I totally agree with that. Totally. But the AFCW thing is a romantic notion with no validity. IMO that is. MK tried to take over the soul of the club as AFC did. Wimbledon simply don't exist. They went under like so many clubs. Yet didn't reform in the way others did because no one was interested.

Well no they didn't, you're right in that respect, but whilst Wimbledon FC as an operating club don't exist, a clubs identity is a subjective thing.
If Sheffield United went out of business and the supporters got together and formed 'AFC Sheffield United', that club would be in our eyes the rightful heir, even if that organisation is a completely different one. Leeds and Rangers are examples of that.
