    Surprised MKDoninpeace or whatever he's called hasn't shown up for a bit of mutual backslapping ;)

    It is kind of weird how MK Dons are emerging as the ones we don't mind so much. Maybe we could have a Sunderland-esque 'friendship' with them? I miss us having an inter-club friendship. Other candidates, name them please...

    As bad as AFC are we're not having a friendship with the biggest no mark club in the country!

    I remember my Bromley FC mates saying how much they hated AFC, pretty embarrassing that I now understand them!
    My feelings towards Franchise FC have mellowed considerably ever since Wimbledon got back in the same league as them tbh. The way the club was 'founded' was ugly, but enough time's passed I reckon. Milton Keynes took a shortcut but it's shown it can hold its own as a football-club town in the FL.
    If they dropped the Dons bit and became MKFC I'd probably agree. Until then I'll hate them for stealing part of another clubs identity.
    How can they, after all they are Wimbledon. Wimbledon, the club that played at Plough Lane & then at Selhurst. If you don't believe me, just look it up. They simply moved to a new ground - maybe 100 miles away, but that's it. They kept the same place in the league, the same players, the same manager etc etc. They are not a new team, AFC Wimbledon are.

    If it was simply just moving ground they should have kept the name Wimbledon but the biggest controversy was the name change as well. Having changed the name and relocated they should have dropped the Dons, either they are Wimbledon or not in which case I certainly understand the call for them to drop the Dons from there name but clearly they had to use the Dons to justify being in the Football League rather than being a brand new club outright.

    But now both teams are established and in the Football League same divison, drop the Dons and then both clubs can move on.
  • Let's just be sensible. Rename both teams; Milton Keynes and Wimbledon. Simples.

    Officially they are a new team and have always been treated as such by the FA. Hence why they don't have an FA Cup win in their history, despite their requests to be allowed to claim it for themselves. They kept their league position etc because of legal loopholes which were later closed. They are not Wimbledon.

    I'm enjoying this thread very much. Especially how people are starting to realise that AFC supporters are just a bunch of thugs with a sickening sense of entitlement.

    We as a club got a lot of things wrong, and not a single MKD fan will disagree that the way the club came about was ugly, but at least we act with dignity towards them. Actually proud of our club for how we don't give in to their childish/antagonistic behaviour. Robbo knows what they are, and I'm glad he didn't change his tune when he moved clubs.

    Hope you smash em, and good to see Ben Reeves back in form, hopefully he stays fit. Loves the FA Cup he does - 6 goals in 11 FA Cup games for us, and already got 2 for you.
    They're still a proper club though, unlike MK.

    Perhaps they have got a high proportion of unpleasant fans. Not all of them though, and that doesn't make the creation of MK Dons any more acceptable.

    Put in their shoes, we'd be exactly the same towards Robinson.

    Calling him a fat cunt I have no issue with it’s the hoping he gets stabbed is a bit ott, plus the small club syndrome I get there struggle and support it.

    The stabbing thing is definitely OTT. Only one bloke though, sure we could rustle up a couple of idiots on that level from our support.
  • Before Robinson turned up, and previous meetings between both clubs have been untoward. Now with him as our manager the Wimbledon fans are now seen as the enemy because of past comments made by him when at MK Dons.

    As he said last night the game is not about him, but sadly it has turned into that.

    Yes, I can see the sense in that.

    who does have that FA Cup win then ? Surely it can't be AFC Wimbledon as it was before they were formed - or are the FA now re-writing history.

    plenty after any large away following.
  • For those who haven't been to Wimbledon it is truly awful.
    If you think the scaffold stand at Gillingham is bad wait till you see Wimbledon 's ground
    It makes Gillingham look like the San Siro.

    Welling or Milan ?
    Either.
    Both better than Wimbledon
    To be fair, it's not their choice of ground. Temporary before they get their own ground.

    Wimbledon. The FA cup and all Wimbledon's historical accolades are currently owned by Merton Council. Signed over by the MK chairman when he stated himself that MK were no longer Wimbledon FC.
  • Soooo... what is it that Robinson said while MKDons manager that upsets Wimbledon fans so much?

    I'm not really willing to dismiss them as frothing idiots without that crucial piece of info.

    I think it was something about MK being the continuation of Wimbledon. Definitely worth a stabbing for that remark....

    They're still a proper club though, unlike MK.

    If their thuggish fan base, their club's childish attitude to nearly every aspect of football, and their club officials/supporters association's constant victim playing is a reflection of what a "proper club" is then I'm perfectly happy staying as we are thanks.

    I believe it was along the lines of blaming fans' failure to turn up in numbers and support the original team being the reason for the move- when in fact many were boycotting at the time while proactively trying to save their club.

    Bloody hell!
  • We're never going to have a rivalry with Wimbledon. They're obsessed with hating MKD so no one else gets a look in. Everyone else between the Thames and the Channel hates Palace (us, Millwall, Brighton) or Millwall (us, Palace). Wimbledon don't. They'll be bristling about the Robinson connection (just like we'd be happy to turn over a team managed by someone who'd been at Palace or Millwall for ages) but at some point KR will move on and it'll be like our games with Gillingham - a bit of edge but nothing like the Spanners or Nigels.
  • edited November 2017
    I can totally understand why Wimbledon fans dislike Robinson. He is one of those people in football, you either like him or you hate him.

    I cannot imagine any other former franchise manager; Paul Ince, Danny Wilson or Martin Allen being booed if they were managing down at Wimbledon.


  • and I massively supported Wimbledon Greyhound track before it was demolished in favour of you lot.

    Would've been demolished even if we weren't taking it over. Fake news.
  • I'm just pleased that it's much clearer why your lot hate him so much. Makes sense and unless I was in your shoes then I can't judge.
  • @Womble - if MK ever dropped the Dons bit of their name, I get you'd still hate them, but would it start to calm down a bit?
