MK Dons

[PuB]

Nothing would delight me more than seeing MK go bust, if they can bankrupt Winkleman in the process that would be great.

When's your new ground ready Womble?

Why so long?

Why so long?

Lots of delays - Boris calling it in and an appeal to Historic England.

Demolition of the greyhound stadium has started and the site should be handed over late autumn/early winter for us to start building.

Why so long?

We are still knocking down and clearing site. Have not even started to do foundations of actual build.

I wonder what posters would do if they moved across the country to MK, say for job purposes, and then later had kids who were interested in football. Would you take them to see their local team?

I take my kids to Argyle because i think they should support their local team not some Premier side they may see twice in their childhood. Even if was practical I don't think i would take my kids often to see West Ham, nor would I ever expect them to support the Irons. Rather, I am much more happy that the daughter of one of the Argyle coaches is in their school, and he is seen popping around from time to time. Think global, support local.

I think a far bigger concern is the idea that MK Dons are just itching to move to our own local towns, steal our clubs and our jobs, and clog up our local services.

Stupid answer, we'd only move to your town if there isn't already a Football League club there.

The main reason everyone had a go at MK was because they thought it would set a precedent of owners moving clubs around, that clearly hasn’t happened so not sure on the hatred anymore except from Wimbledon fans.

Ironic that a Halifax fan has come on and had a go at MK for not doing things organically as you just know he would have been screaming at the likes of Fleetwood and Crawley for bypassing them by chucking money at it.

Not quite accurate. They attempted to move Luton Town, Crystal Palace, Barnet, Queens Park Rangers and Charlton Athletic to Milton Keynes unsuccessfully too.

I do actually have a bit of sympathy for that. But if they want to be a 'normal' football club they need to have an honest recognition of what happened and how. The rewriting of history, juggling of timelines, reversal of cause and effect, and the smoke and mirrors constructed to justify the move from club and fans is what still winds us up. They and all who watch them can go fuck themselves while they still come out with that stuff. And drop the Dons from their name and maybe people will start to move on.

But they didn’t move any of those clubs. The one club they did move has been a failure all things considered. Moving a club to a big population base and plying it with resources and apart from a brief period they’ve not got out the lower leagues.

The easier option seems to be to start a club in non league and work your way up because that’s what everyone’s doing.
