What the hell is going on at Wimbledon, do they want fans or not, when I found out ages ago they were moving to out of London I thought, you got to be joking! but a few years later they are playing in Milton Keynes!
Im sure all the Wimbledon fans thought they were having a laugh when they saw it and can you blame them, you LOCAL team moving miles away from there "home", its like Chelsea moving to Southampton if you think about it.
So your "Local" team moves away, what you do? You make a new one, AFC Wimbledon!! There ground may not be in Wimbledon but there heart is and I hope one day AFC will be above Wimbledon, now that would be funny.

Wimbledon can be used to show other teams HOW NOT TO PLAY TACTIS.
Shame That it's going this way, Wimbledon had a great history and a fantastic follow up, moving form their home ground has killed any hope, it was predicable but still the management, against the supporters protest went ahead, great idea, enjoy the results.

Sitting at the dizzy height of 24th (out of 24) in the league is not helping the few fans (who have stayed with them) moral as turning up to a game with around 600 fans is not helping the team.

They can be used as an example on how not to play, anything else is hard not to be rude.

They can be used as an example on how not to play, anything else is hard not to be rude. or on how to lose every game (almost) and still find the strength to face another one and that's every single time.

Wimbledon are in my city at the minute (Milton Keynes). I don't think they have won a game since they moved up here. Good job no one up here supports them!

Never won this season, but like I said you got to admire their courage , and that's in front of enormous crowds of 1000 to 2000 people which are all relatives and family members , and when they go back home there is more punishement to go through from their wives and girlfriends .

Yeah thats true. But If Milton Keynes are going to have a football team it would be nice to have our own, not have a club move up from London!

Yes I agree , as far as I know there is only the female MK Wanderers FC and they are juniors , maybe we can arrange from some Chelsea reserves to form the MK blues . I think that Milton Keynes , being a 'fairly' new city, lacks the tradition of a well established local football club tradition , not a good launchpad for a possible MK fc.

LONDON - Cash-strapped Wimbledon have been saved from going into liquidation by the club's creditors agreeing to a takeover.
A creditor meeting accepted an offer from the InterMK consortium, led by music entrepreneur Pete Winkleman, the man behind the first division club's move from south London to Milton Keynes, north of the capital, last year.
"This is another step towards taking the club out of administration," Andy Hosking and Nick Wood, partners in administrator Grant Thornton said in a statement.
InterMK will take over the club's running costs and plans to build a new stadium funded by the Asda supermarket chain.
Wimbledon was placed in financial administration - a form of creditor protection - in June 2003 after fans deserted the club over the move to Milton Keynes, a town built in the 1960s which has never had a professional soccer team.
Fans boycotted the team's home games, sending gates plummeting, and many switched allegiance to minor league Wimbledon AFC, set up in protest against the club's move.
The team's performance on the pitch has done little to improve the club's situation. Twenty seven defeats this season have sent the club to the bottom of the first division, making relegation almost a certainty.
Hosking and Wood said the club would remain in administration until the Football League transfers the club's registration to the new owners at its next meeting on April 26.
If the bid had been rejected joint administrators Grant Thornton said they would have had no option but to put the club into liquidation.
A number of lower league clubs have been hit by the collapse of the ITV Digital company which robbed them of much-needed television revenues.
Among the clubs that went into administration were first division Ipswich Town amd Leicester City, which despite its problems won promotion to the premier league last season.

Why can't they get real and start looking at how to redevelop the club? This way it can't survive, to change something you got to change something,
not carrying on the same passive way getting kicked in the a....
