Should we not be BOYCOTTING MK Dons?

[drew]

AFC don't play in Wimbledon and that's a fact. Also, all this hatred for a small club when the real problems with football rest with those at the top of the premier league. And for all of you football saints advocating a boycott, what would happen in the event that we played MK Dons in the JPT final, or, in years to come, an FA Cup final. Would your values remain the same and you would forsake seeing the Albion at Wembley.

More importantly, haven't the league changed their rules to prevent this happening again so this is a one off anomaly.

Look if The Albion were playing an Ian Huntley Select on Saturday and needed a win to stay up I would be there.

Anything else is posturing by those who misunderstand the game.

Read the whole thread before posting next time. Hardly anyone has actually advocated boycotting Saturday's game. One person asked if we should boycott it, and so far i think maybe one person is actually not going- and even then they suggested that they don't have a problem with those that do go to MK.

No, the lads need our support more than ever right now if we are going to stay up, in the middle of sorting travel arrangements to get there so i will be cheering on the lads to hopefully 3 vital points towards safety!

Also will be good to look around the ground since the Buckingham Group built it.

Neutral stadia old boy, MK Dons do not benefit financially from my presence in such an event. Were we to play them away in, say, a play-off game, the answer remains - no, I wouldn't go.

I'll repeat - f*** 'em then, now and always. You're entitled to your opinion; you want to go, then go, and get behind the boys. But don't belittle me for mine.

So, for arguments sake, we take 40k to the jpt final and mk dons only 5k. Gate money split equally (I assume) therefore you would contribute.

Alternatively, we play MK Dons in a game of death (like Hereford) away.

Sod it, I can't be bothered on this thread anymore!!!!

You stick to your principles.

My memory must be going as I normally sit next to you on the train for away games!

I don't ALWAYS travel by GDC Express though...

That said, a quick count up and it looks like I won't have been to more than half five or six by the end of the season.

Normally like to get to a couple more than that a season if I can.

Just finding it hard to be bothered lately.

I know it's not a very popular view but i never felt Wimbledon fans really did enough to keep the club in London and although I feel sorry for the fans who were screwed over I very much had a sense that they were picked because they were a very easy target.

Dunno really. I mean, I wish them nothing but luck but when it looked like we were going to lose our football club we managed to get it to the second item on the national news. When Wimlbedon were fighting their move they were a regualr feature in FourFourTwo but that was it (I'm paraphrasing, obviously). Where were the pitch invasions? Where were the abandoned games? Where were the boycotts that were followed by break ins?

Maybe we were lucky because we were the first club that people were interested in that was on the verge of getting screwed (I don't think people were really aware that Aldershot and Maidstone went out of business) but there was a real militant buzz around the club at the time that I never really came out of Wimbledon.

I guess I just think that it would never happen with Liverpool, never happen with Pompey and never happen with the Albion.

Why did it happen to Wimbledon? Because not enough people cared - that's why they used to get about 7,000 in the Premiership. Just an easy target, I suppose. Doesn't make it right, mind.
