Question about supporting Fans United ?

[Ernest]

If say in 12 months time MK Dons were having the same sort of problems as Plymouth and their supporters asked for the assistance we are giving to Plymouth would all the people organising this green stuff and travel to Home Park be equally willing to do it for MK Dons ?

 

[Shanker45]

There is an argument that as football fans we should be willing to help out any fellow club in trouble although there will be less sympathy/support for the franchise outfit.

Think you know the answer to that.

 

[Ernest]

Think you know the answer to that.

I don't know which is why I'm asking

 

[sam86]

It's a very good question.

 

[ROSM]

Good question Ernest

in my view, no i couldn't see myself having sympathy or supporting MK Dons if they were in that situation. Fans Utd is about standing up against the corporate asset stripping or poor governance of football clubs and protecting them for their local communities.

It is precisely because MK Dons actively sought to take a football club away from its core base and driven by a type of corporate greed that I couldnt do it.

 

[Simster]

Personally, I wouldn't give a toss if MK Dons went bust.

There wouldn't be many football supporters nationwide who would be sympathetic to their cause should they fall on hard times. I for one would not at all be bothered in the least if MK Dons folded.

I would LOVE for MK Dons to go out of business, then reform at the level they should rightly have started at in the first place.

I'd go further than that. I'd like to seem them replaced by Wimbledon.

Spot on. I'd pay another £500 to see it happen Incidentally, Rochdale, when ARE you going to kiss Dick Knight's arse, you WELCHER?

 

[Silent Bob]

What Hans said, that would be justice.

Fans united for 'MK Dons' would be like going on strike in support of scabs.

 

[Falkor]

Erm hard as they have fans just like the rest of us, but they leave a very bad taste in my mouth tbh, so i cant say i would go out my way to help them...

do you f**k not know.
Call it trolling or call it fishing but at least you've stopped that stupid random BLOCK CAPITALS malarky which I suppose we should count as a plus.

 

[Rich Suvner]

professional club handed on a plate to a town who didnt even appear to have a competitive non-league outfit - who've now accumulated approx 10 years history as MK Dons

v

Genuine football club with 125 years history of climbing and falling through the football pyramid, supported by local residents along the way.

So, that's a good reason to take the football club away from those fans, and plant their league position in a locality 100 miles away, is it?

 

[xLostprophet]

Having been there on away games, I'd find it ironic to even call it "fans united". From what I've seen MK Dons never have f**k all support in that building site of a stadium anyway!

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Not yet, no. Nor can I imagine too many Milton Keynes fans getting that upset about it if they do get into trouble and go bust, there would be a reason for it and its not like they tried that hard to save Wolverton or Bletchley when those MK based clubs went bust in the not too distant past.

But perhaps one day, when I'm 85, and MK have properly become part of the football fabric. They're not claiming to be Wimbledon any more; all the trophies and honours have been handed back to the London Borough of Merton (which still can't find a home for Wimbledon); they've got supporters associations and a community football scheme that's one of the best. Small change perhaps, but a start.
