Wimbledon fans even in the pre MK Dons days have always been a bit hostile, a bit select, a bit stand offish, a bit up themselves .. reality is they're a bit of a bunch of fecking wombles .. great survivors though, even if the 'miracle from the ashes of the old club' was in reality financed by a VERY rich benefactor
One way to guarantee charlton fans chanting KRs name!
Bloke has to earn that honour. Hasn't done enough to earn his name being chant yet IMO.
Wombles start slagging him off and he'll be supported by ours. Wasn't saying he should or he shouldn't, plus Slade had his name chanted a few times and he did even less
At some point they need to drop the complete hostility to MK Dons. It has happened and there's no going back. A fierce rivalry is good but the level of hatred shown from AFCW to MKD is almost at parody levels. Not even the Old Firm clubs hate one another like that. Well, they do but it is a different kind of hatred, one stemming from decades of competition, not because of a botched ruling from the authorities that never should have happened. The agreement brokered by the FSF between the two sets of fans should have been a turning point; it's poor form to take an olive branch at the same time as returning a fist.
Never ever should they stop the hostility , not until the day the franchise filth drop out of the league and go bust.
A warning about AFC Wimbledon fans....feck me, I've heard it all now.
I detest MK and all they stand for, but let's get a grip, who cares, it will be as vociferous as a CAMRA meeting in Middle Wallop on a wet Wednesday night.

Sure I heard "Robinsons Red & White Army" on Saturday v Fleetwood
I have a close friend who is a Wimbledon fan. I went to the hive to watch them play Barnet last season. Martin Allen got pelters. They do hate them. For me I can understand it. MK Dons pretty much represent the destruction of their football club in its original form. I think AFC are a great success story and we may, just may resemble them in some way, shape or form in 5-10 years if RD stays for much longer

Couldn't agree less. I am sure many people mock our hatred of palace, especially when its so one sided.

I didn't mean because it was one-sided but if the AFCW fans wanted to carry on slating everything MKD then they shouldn't have dropped their veto in the FSF. A bit two-faced given the concessions they got out of it. By all means target the bastards responsible but going after every person ever associated with the club is a bit sad. A bit like when Russell Brand went after RBS and ended up screaming at the cleaners.
I know a couple of Wombles (too young to have been around when they were successful). They really hate MK. Really really. And they hate them so much they've no room for hating Palace or Millwall like everyone else. I did tell them I thought this was odd, though they did both prefer us to the alternatives.

I hate to say it but, in a few years, it could be us trying to find our way in the Conference or L2 as Charlton Utd (as some have previouly suggested on this wall).
I freely admit I wasn't there in the ground share days, but this club and it's future are important to me; and I'm aware that there are many of differing generations for whom the club, at the Valley, is their lifeblood - at least, it has a very high place in their lives - hence their commitment.
From that point of view, I can understand the attitude of AWCF fans - remember guys, in a few years, it could be us! I think there might be quite a few on this forum that would prefer a Charlton United rather than the horrible mix of the Spivs & Roland/Meire.

Well I know what you mean, as I always had mixed feelings about Charlton because of the way they treated Jimmy Seed. However, it took me 50 years to realise that the club is WAY more important than its owners. I'd stick with it. Owners come and go, clubs live forever, unless you move and change the name.

Remember Selhurst Park?
