MK Dons! Good for Football?

MK Dons epitomise everything which is wrong about modern football.

I hope they go bust!

A popular view especially on here but MK dons have been good for Milton Keynes and AFCW (who would not exist without them) have been good for non league football......Cheer up everyone.....

Wow. Your logic and grasp of the subject is incredible. Insightful.

They're the future sadly. With all these Americans buying clubs it's only a metter of time before someone buys a premiership club with small local support (Wigan?) and moves to Dublin/Dubai/Delaware or wherever. The other American owners will support them and it's franchise football in England.

:( :( :( I really wish you weren't right....

Your really obviously a real football fan.
Do you remember when Wimbledon played at Wimbledon....Years ago now but in their last season at Plough Lane they got crowds of just over 3,000 for the visit of the likes of Everton.
Milton Keynes get more than that for Mansfield and Barnet etc.....

Milton Keynes is full of real football fans...

Obviously for twats like David Conn and the new breed of real football fans MK dons are the anti christs but they seem a lot less interested when its a less high profile club that moves.

Ask revol another real football fan about teams that moved from Belfast to Lurgan and Lisburn...They did it as people moved out of Belfast...The same thing happened with Clyde and Meadowbank.

Where were all you REAL football fans then.

Fans so real that they didn't bother supporting any football team in Milton Keynes at all until some councillor twat told them MK was a proper city that deserved a top flight team and thus he was going to parachute one into town.

Shame things didn't go as planned eh?

If you're not a troll then you're a fucking joke and a clueless fool. I hope for your sake the former is the case.

Looks like MK Dons after just a few years have more fans in the 4th division than Wimbledon did when they played in the top division at Wimbledon.
Have you heard of Raj Kholsa...AFCW certainly lined his pockets..
 
Yawn. Wimbledon at Plouhg Lane pissed all over MK attendances, Wimbledon at the much hated Selhurst Park still pissed all over MK attendances, and even non-league AFC Wimbledon regularly manages to outdo the loyal MK fans, specially at away games.

I could then go on and explain a few bits and bobs about the most fundamental principle of football (namely being an integral part of the local community rather than a commodity relocated about like an accountant firm's office) but I don't see much point because either you are trolling and you would ignore it or you are not and you would be beyond understanding it.
 
T and P look at the precedents set by Clyde,Livinston,Distillery,Glenavon etc.

Are you a supporter of AFCW do you know how much you paid Raj Kholsa for Kingstonians ground?
Do you know how much he paid for it?

How long have you been a supporter of Wimbledon you seem remarkably ignorant about their crowds....Are you more of a rugger man at heart?

What the fuck has that got to do with anything?

I should know, seeing as I've been going to games for almost as long as I've been in this country.

You're the one who is talking utter bollocks mate.

It's a frannie football frenzie..:rolleyes:

Wonder how they will fill the ground playing lower league football. Of course free tickets for everyone. Franchise give free tickets to any school that whats them & counts them on the gate. Therefore out of a 5,000 attendance you may only get 2,500 to 3,000 actual paying attendees (cannot bring myself to call them supporters), which the around the same attendance as AFC Dons.

Oh how terrible eh they give free tickets away.....What a fantastic criticism. AFCW charge £9 to watch the likes of Ashford Town (MdX).
They probably need the cash to pay back the property developer they bought Kingstonians ground off.
MK dons get bigger crowds than you got at plough lane.

Yes, but should they then claim those free tickets to be paying spectators. Using that claim to state that they get a larger gate the us. Anyhow they are a professional football team we are what they call a pub team :rolleyes: They do get larger crowds than when we were last in Div four 1982/83, but if you are only talking about paying spectators crowds would be similar.

Balders you have to make your views know to the West Bank next time you come & watch the true Dons. Also please time your friends from MK that if they are spotted again in London they will not get a "walk by"..;)

Fuck me that really is scarey...The AFCW West Bank how did you get on in Ramsgate last year???......

MK Dons get higher crowds playing the likes of Boston in the 4th division than you got against Everton in the old ist division.

Andy I wouldn't waste your breath on this baldy cunt. Not worth the effort. Exactly the sort of supporter franchise deserve. Imagine 5000 cunts like him all cheering for their franchise heros, I know where I'd rather be on a saturday afternoon:D and I wouldn't give a shit if there was only one man and his dog keeping me company.

To be fair they have a point your team is shit. You struggle to beat teams who attract crowds of less than a hundred. Possibly cos you paid Raj Kholsa so much money for Kingstonians ground.

Wiki Wiki Waah said:
The stadium has been the home of Kingstonian since 1989, when they built the entire complex on the site following the sale of their traditional Richmond Road ground. Following relegation from the Conference National, Kingstonian went into financial administration and both club and ground were purchased by Rajesh Khosla and his son Anup, who were not football oriented and alienated a large part of Kingstonian's support.

After one season as tenants of the Khoslas (the rent not going to Kingstonian because the Khoslas had arranged that the stadium was owned in Rajesh's name and the club in Anup's), AFC Wimbledon undertook to buy the leasehold to the ground. The club's owners, The Dons Trust, marketed the ground as The Fans Stadium and launched a share issue to finance the purchase, which was closed the following summer. The club subsequently arranged for a commercial loan to clear the debt to the Khoslas.

Wimbledon kept Kingstonian on as tenants and charge them a lower rent than they themselves had been charged by the Khoslas, with both gate receipts and bar takings at Kingstonian games being retained solely by Kingstonian (which continued to be Khosla-owned until 2005). An annual friendly between the two clubs is also intended to defray the cost of the rent

kholsa seems to be the bad guy here....

Got on fine at Ramsgate they were only interested at starting on families. We were by the harbour before the game with no problems found an excellent home brew real ale pub. Funny they never came to our place..
