FA CUP - 1st Round

[womble76]

Yep something that happened 30 years prev definitely caused more of the demise than the man who actually made it finally happen. Before of course Wimbledon looked at a merger with QPR and Milton Keynes tried to steal.QPaR and Luton. Wimbledon also looked at Gatwick and Dublin of course.
None of the those individuals were involved anymore so the link is tenous at best.

I mean the book you quote is written by a one of a family of life long Wimbledon fc/afc wimbledon supporters so hardly ill-informed afcwmuppet as you seem to lime the document.

Also at the time Noades would argue and indeed did argue he was trying to get a better deal from Merton.
Anyway this is all off FA cup topic.

Why? He’s a child molester. Are you a sexual predator?

You talking to me or your forner owner? There's a hard drive that needs checking.

 

[Don Caster]

Yes, he can read this (https://mkdsa.org.uk/archive/history.html) if he wants more facts about MK City or anything else related to the move.

I am sure he is well aware of the fact Wimbledon owners in 1980 helped establish the link to Milton Keynes and MK City FC, actually contributing to their eventual demise more than Winkelman did (no, thought not), but I assume he will choose to instead remain an ill-informed AFCW puppet (muppet?) instead and continue to comment on things he is clueless about, which is a shame as I like Doncaster Rovers as our Don cousins.

To help him out a bit, I have pulled one excerpt https://mkdsa.org.uk/archive/1981Excerpts from Dons in the League.pdf...

• "In 1980 Chairman Ron Noades claimed that the Borough of Merton did not want the club and that he was in talks to take Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes. Chairman Ron Noades and directors Jimmy Rose, Bernie Coleman and Sam Hammam were voted onto the board of Milton Keynes City FC. Noades stated there was no future for Wimbledon FC at Plough Lane. Noades acknowledged that Milton Keynes had long term potential and could support a multi-purpose stadium."

Out of interest did you (& the other Franchise customers on here) support Wimbledon or get hoodwinked by the promise of a football frenzy which never materialised or did you just bin off your team & plump for a more local option? I'm not in the slightest bit arsed that you don't mind DRFC but I can safely say that a good percentage of Rovers fans despise everything you stand for as do most football fans in general.

Why are you quoting yourself and what are you talking about? I was referring to the Doncaster fan as ill-informed

None of what you said. I’m 30 so MK Dons are my first and only team given they were founded in 2004 when I was 9 and I went to my first game at that age. A few on here are ex Wimbledon (probably about 500 or so made that journey we would estimate), Dippy is the same as me, and others I don’t know but to your point, in every city/town you will get a few folks who support a Premier League team but turn out to watch some live football in their local area - you cannot be that deluded to think you don’t have people turning up at Doncaster who are also armchair supporters of Man Utd, Liverpool, whoever…every lower league team has that. For example, that ‘Chelsea’ fan who went viral on social media last year for getting knocked out at West Ham after giving it the biggun’ was also an AFC Wimbledon fan ffs: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...lsea-game-electrician-supports-WIMBLEDON.html

Also, why does the success of my local club over the last two decades dictate whether I should support them? There is certainly no “football frenzy” in Doncaster based on your attendances and league positions over the last few years, but you still support your team…

If most football fans despise us, then so be it (the actual reality is “most fans” didn’t give much of a fuck in 2004 and give even less of a fuck now…do you really think the majority of people in this country who watch football give any care to a L2 club moving cities 20 years ago?). The fact a handful of weirdos online make the same ill-informed comments over and over again, isn’t really a concern. If football fans really gave a fuck, they’d boycott our ground, but it’s been one of the most visited stadium’s in the lower leagues since we moved there in 2007 and we rarely hear a peep out of fans from other clubs singing about AFC, franchise or anything else move related…so I would say the evidence shows otherwise.

Is there any club that don’t have Harrogate as a bogey team?

It feels like they are everyones. They've certainly been ours for the past 5 years or whatever it is.

I don't think we have achieved particular success as a bogey team. It's more likely that the supporters of some big clubs expect to be able to beat a tiny club with a weird father/son ownership/ management set up and no football league history. It's a bit like ASDA being upset when the family run corner shop has a few better offers. When results don't always go their way it doesn't seem right, it rankles.

As a season ticket holder who attends most away games, I watch a lot more defeats than victories.

It feels like they are everyone's. They've certainly been ours for the past 5 years or whatever it is.

Not us - yet. Played 4, won 2, both at home and drawn 2 at theirs.

Everyone who comes to Blundell Park is our bogey team…
