Well as a MK born and bred non-league ground–hopper before MK Dons, I can confirm that your suggestion that MK City was the ‘team of Milton Keynes’ is far-fetched at best. Considering they were only around for 4 years and were a works/mates team with zero record of marketing themselves to the wider MK public I can tell you now that at the turn of the millennium and outside of non-league footy circles locally you wouldn’t have found 100 people who had heard of them.
Interest from those in charge dropped and they had a handy political excuse with the Wimbledon situation. Jumped on of course by detractors and heralded as the collapse of some sort of historical non-league giant in Milton Keynes, which was rubbish really.
The first (and proper) MK City had a rather unfortunate run in with the owner and directors of Wimbledon Football Club as well, that ultimately led to their demise and I do wonder if the late 70’s plan had completed and Wimbledon had moved then how people would feel about it all. Probably the same, but maybe not given their position at the time.
To those not spending money, be careful where you go before and after the game. You may be contributing without realising. (And no I’m not going to tell you.
)Must say I loved the trip to the Amex back in November, it is a superb stadium and the tie-in with the station is excellent. I had a decent pint in your bar post-match and spoke to a good number of BHA fans, strange it was far more polite than here. Must be an internet thing.
Good luck with the promotion bid, as a club you deserve a stint in the Premier League.
