It was hard to tell as we had so many seats, it looked that many when people were milling about in the concourse. It must have been a few as I didn't see you!?

I personally don't think we should allow MK Dons fans on this forum to be honest, yes it is because we lost and I'm a bitter fooker. No seriously, the atmosphere is so soulless in that place it's hard to get excited about anything especially them clapping along in unison like a rent a crowd copying songs they've heard on telly. How can you interact with such people?

This is a board for football fans. MK Dons are not a proper team. Ban them.

Regardless of personal opinion upon whether they are a "proper team" or not I personally think that they should be as welcome as fans from any other club and would be disappointed if what I would consider a petty decision was taken not to allow them to post on here.

Chris, we had 3 coach loads yesterday ie. fans that came down from Hartlepool alone so 338 is probably right. You would have known that if you weren't in the the home end :wink:

Home is where the heart is I guess :grin:

I guess you're right - Bit like plastic fans sitting on a bloody forum all day instead of going to watch their team play, eh?

Still - All the 'Pool lads we met were superb, same as they were up at yours earlier in the season. I guess like with most clubs, the numpties are few and far between...

BD, please tell me you are not really trying to suggest that because I do not get to every game in a season that somehow makes me a plastic fan.

I wasn't neccessarily, but it's a more fitting criteria than who your choice of club happens to be, MJ.

Your mate is justing spitting out the routine (and, in his case, obviously unresearched) patter. I happen to like playing with him. Watch as many or as few games as you want to, mate. Just keep your pal on a leash though 'cos he's slashing in the wrong garden..

Don't agree OO. Okay the birth of MK Dons was a disgrace but I think it's now time to move on. Both the Dons fans that have come on this board have been polite and the abuse they have taken is just wrong. I bet not one of the 338 fans that went yesterday made comment about plastic fans etc and I bet every one enjoyed the day out despite the defeat. I certainly did, despite walking the best part of 4 miles before and after the game banghead

My mate? Obafemi? Shurely shome mishtake

For the record I have no problem with their being a football club in Milton Keynes, or with people wishing to follow their local team. My objection, like many supporters, lies with the manner in which MK obtained Football League status through the transparent ruse that they were somehow a continuation of Wimbledon FC. Anyone who isn't insane knows that that is patently absurd in all but legal fact. A football club IS its supporters, and no shameless piece of paper can tell me otherwise. I have had MK apologists try to convince me that there was no alternative, and that Wimbledon would have died otherwise. Even ignoring the breathtaking conceit (Wimbledon DID die, in any way that really matters) my answer reamins the same. If death really was the only alternative then death is what should have happened. A club will always be reborn as long as enough people care. See Accrington Stanley. See Newport County. Hell, see Wimbledon if you must (I had no love of the original Wimbledon by the way).

As a supporter of a club that has had regular close calls over the years it was sickening to see that, in theory, some anti-football chancer could have come in, taken my club wholesale to Wetherby or Harrogate and have the staggering arrogance to claim that is a simple relocation of the same club. I would have done everything possible to see that did not happen. Death, and rebirth miles below the Football League, would be the acceptable alternative.

Maybe not a continuation for the hoardes who left their side to die at Selhurst Park while they were pretending to be Wimbledon (in Kingston, of all places!), but certainly a continuation for those who had the courage to defy the hostility, threats and violence from their former terrace family and follow their staff and players up the M1.

What has always really puzzled me is fans who, in your own words, have had so many close calls themselves. Just for once, I'd love somebody to explain to me why the laughable 'Community of Football' went to the moral aid of a set of supporters who did bugger all when the likes of Maidstone, Newport and Aldershot were dying on their feet.

One things for sure - They didn't give a toss about the Hartlepools of the football world while they were lording in in the top tier. I don't care for AFC Wimbledon one way or the other as a club. But the emerging hypocrites that follow them don't need to look too hard to see a few specks of footballing blood between their fingernails.

PJ_Poolie · **Posted:** Sun Feb 15, 2009 6:02 pm

Bletchley I think you totally miss MadJohn's point.

MK Dons should not have been allowed to buy football league status, that is something that should only be earned through success on the field and progression through the football pyramid. It's just something that should never ever have been allowed to happen.I don't care about the Wimbledon/AFC Wimbledon thing, many football clubs have gone down the pan it's never nice to see but it happens. Wimbledon were in the top flight becuase they earned it on a football field.

I'm sorry but it will take me a long time to able to stomach MK Dons or anyone who follows them.

I think I got MJ's point here, PJ - I've read the dear boys posts on TFF for a while and he's a good lad.

My response was to highlight that for those who continue watching MK Dons as a direct continuation of their former Wimbledon side (as did fans of Ferranti Thistle --> Meadowbank Thistle --> Livingston), Milton Keynes hasn't gained a league place. It's simply gained a football club.

When Newton Heath suddenly found themselves in Salford (which wasn't even a part of the City of Manchester at the time), the name was dropped because, amongst other reasons, the club had to be seen to be representative of the new potential fan base it encompassed.

That's why we'll fight tooth and nail to keep the 'Dons' tag. We're not ashamed of where we come from, and all the hate and propoganda from disenfranchised (sic) supporters and Guardian journalists won't change that.

exactly John. There should just have been one less club in the League and that should have been that. MK Dons should not exist, there should have been a vacuum instead.

So for a direct comparison you have to go back to 1902 rolfl

Is Salford over 60 miles away from Newton Heath? talk about clutching at straws. Nobody considers MK Dons as a direct continuation of Wimbledon, you aren't. If someone bought Pools and took them to Wakefield for example, then changed our name to Wakefield Pools, I'd utterly despise them with a passion, and quite rightly so. They certainly wouldn't be a direct continuation of Hartlepool united.

This time, it's you who's missed the point.

Sorry, but your opinion isn't reflective of Wimbledon fans who follow MK Dons as a continuation of their former side. You'd rather start AFC Hartlepool? Your choice, PJ. Some of your fan base would follow them Wakefield Pools, or whoever, as a continuation of their old side.

Livingston, as a comparison, was much more recent than 1902 but feel free to be selective about what you wish to use as a tool of debate. It's much better than the single-handed w*nker gesture that Double O (is his name a reflection of his IQ?) chooses to use.

How many Wimbledon fans follow MK out of interest? I bet it's not many, nobody would follow Pools if we were stolen I can assure you of that. I doubt anyone who did would be safe to walk the streets of Hartlepool, I'd utterly despise anyone who did.

Livingston are a Scottish club, it has no relevance to what I am passionate about, the football league. I'm sure it's happened in other countries I know Juventus are a nomadic club who've played in other parts of Italy, but again that hasn't any relevance.
