MK Dons vs AFC Wimbledon ?

[Kumquat]

One of my mates is a big AFCW fan. Never mind AFC fans not travelling, he reckons there is a large proportion of their support who advocate their club simply refusing to EVER play MK Dons and taking whatever punishment the FA sees fit. I can't see that happening though.

That I would like to see, depending on how harsh any punishment would be. Will never forget their support at Fans United.

MK just kicked off.

 

[OSRGull]

I'll go for 3-2 Cambridge after extra time.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

Goal. Mk dons. 1-0

Given the history I imagine AFC fans are dreading this as for years they have been trying to distance themselves from franchise FC and this just rakes it all back up. Also what if they lose?

Bit of salt in the wounds

AFC should refuse to play the game..

 

[SeagullSongs]

I know one AFC fan who is refusing to go should MK make it through.

I'll go for 3-2 Cambridge after extra time.

Cambridge haven't had a shot yet either off or on target according to the BBC.

Why does everyone think that Wimbledon are so wonderful. Yes what happened to their club was disgraceful but they let their club die and took the route of forming again rather than fight for their club. Glad we didn't have their fight when we were fighting for our club against Bellotti or Archer because we would not be playing at the Amex if we did. Now dons tin hat and awaits the bullets to be fired..

 

[Train Spotter]

Bullets coming your way, mate.
Up the Wombles!

Looks like its gonna happen, MK 3-0 up at half-time. I might try to go to the MK v Wimbledon game, given its only just up the road from me and I can't get to the Palace game. If I can get tickets I may even wear my Brighton shirt and cheer for AFC Wimbledon for the whole match.

The FA let them get shafted worse than we were- we had a club if not a ground while they had both taken away.
Think the number of fans who organised and financed AFC Wimbledon is pretty similar to the amount we had at Gillingham at it's best. Good on them.

Decent article in WSC from a couple of years back when the two got potentially drawn against each other

When Saturday Comes - AFC Wimbledon cannot face MK Dons

Because they're an absolute exemplar of the ideal that is real support. No matter what you do - take the club away, take the ground away, change the name, change the kit, f*** the fans royally, you absolutely cannot kill the spirit of the club inside the fans. Their club had gone. They didn't "let it die", it was already dead. They organised themselves, kept Wimbledon alive (or rather re-birthed it) and fought their way back into the league. Once Winkelman had his way, they took the only option available to them and have succeeded spectacularly.

The very best wishes of all true fans should go with them in the 2nd round. Reading some of their fans' fora, they're split on whether to attend. I'll never visit that abortion of a club because they shouldn't exist in the form they do, so can entirely empathise with any AFC supporters who skip it, but it'd be a joy to think they could go up there and turn Franchise over in front of thousands of Wimbledon fans.

Hope this one's on telly - that's a definite must-record.

 

[Kuipers Supporters Club]

This is going to happen. Will be interesting to say the least (and that's before a ball is kicked!!)

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Cambridge have pulled one back.

No bullets from me mate. Pretty much spot on.

Would have a bit more respect for AFC fans if they do boycott the game. Sadly they'll be plenty of day trippers who'll take an interest. I'm sure it'll be nailed on to be one of the televised games.

I was well off

MK 4-1 up now.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

6-1

I know 2 Wimbledon fans who say they won't even go to the home game if it does go to a replay, as that'd still be giving MK the money.
