They never shut up during the first half !!

There may have only been a few of them but credit to them, they made some noise.

Still hate the chunts like

Obafemi Obsession · **Posted:** Sat Nov 15, 2008 9:49 pm

I was referring to the number not the noise they made. There can't have been more than 150 there. They're not proper fans.

Be content in the knowledge that if they do get promoted they will get stuffed in the Championship and their crowds will be laughable

Obviously I'm no fan of MK Dons, I don't like this Team MK and Stadium MK Americanisation bollocks.

But they made some noise, irratating noise but noise none the less.

But then after the red card decision I couldn't hear them as we became very voca for one reason or other. In fact full credit to us, we made some noise. I actually left very quickly after the whistle....I was in KFC's car park getting a lift home and then suddenly this massive noise occured. Was it a plane flying low, was it a volcano, or thunder or lightning. No! I think the referee may have been leaving the pitch at that specific time. A magnificant sound of boos. Well done us. clappp

Only because they dont have many fans doesnt mean they are not "proper fans"

Brighton is a bit further to travel and take into account that the week before we had been at Orient.

MK Dons are more centrally located so won't have the distances to travel that we do - sorry but don't feel you can compare our support last week with theirs today.

MK Dons have never had a big away following up here - so why today would be any different...??

How many times you seen Pools play at MK Dons, OO?

Think there are a number of reasons why support is down.

A number of suppoprters vowed, (and have stuck by their decision), not to attend a Pools match whilst Wilson is in charge

Cost of travelling has risen a great deal

Cost into games has risen over the last few years

We have over the past two season had a lot more miles to travel - therefore people are having to pick games they attend

On a positive note, we seem to have a lot of younger fans coming through, who are travelling away. Let's hope when they have to pay full price to get in, they keep on supporting Pools.

(didn't take yuur post as a slur - thought it was a good post)

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Sun Nov 16, 2008 1:40 pm

They don't even sing like proper away fans!!

I noticed at the start when they were singing 'MK Army' that every single one of them was clapping along in time as if it had been rehearsed in the lead up to Milton Keynes being given a football club!!

im a mk fan here and i personally thought we were not as loud as useall but you fans that are saying were not proper fans surely cant be serious. we travelled a far distance for our club we cant be plastic! but i understand that you lot do have to travel further than us most the time which is fair enough but i would travel that far just to see my team

Can't fault your efforts mate (though it's hardly a huge trek from MK to Hartlepool), but that's not my point. You are not a proper football fan because you don't support a proper football club. Simple as that. Hope that helps :grin:

ok mate you think that its your opinion and fair play for sticking to it but for a lot of people its a club on your doorstep and a good 1 at that FULL STOP. but were here to stay were not movin anywhere and i and the other 200 or so REAL dons fans will continue to follow our team up and down the country

I think the key question, That might help to see MadJohns point, Is who did you support before MK?

Then Winkelman came along, pissed on Wimbeldon's corpse and stole a league place that Milton Keynes had not earned. It was important in football terms that the whole sorry MK experiment failed. That would hopefully help deter anyone from every trying to repeat it. It didn't fail because the people of MK (who used to support......... who exactly?) didn't let it. They let football down for their own selfish "club on our doorstep" reasons. People who support MK are not football supporters.

Standing ovation clappp

Brilliantly summed up MadJohn. The thing is as you say we've been scrapping around for all that time and have never been in the top two tiers, the greasy Mr Winkleman just stole a team from the second tier of our game. Criminal.

Excellent post.

If Seaton Carew pinched someone else's league place, I'd ditch Pools tomorrow and support them

Are you elated and gutted at the same time?

[quote="chip fireball"]

kingstonian were established back in 1885 and are previous winners of the fa amateur cup, and the fa trophy. they are a club with a very proud history and yet in 2004 the dodgy chairman of kingstonian sold the lease on the ground to wimbledon, meaning a complete role reversal between owners and tenants that very nearly saw kingstonian go out of existence.

in the same way that mk dons killed off wimbledon, the new wimbledon very nearly killed off kingstonian.quote]

Just to bring you up to speed chip, AFC having been trying to acquire land adjacent to the existing freehold in order to expand/develop kingsmeadow in readiness for future promotions. The land was owned by the LA who refused to sell until Kingstonian's future was guaranteed. AFC have agreed to give Kingstonian a 25 year lease at nominal £10k pa rent and as such, securing their future even if AFC get promoted.
