trekkie_ram Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 MK Dons expanding to 32,000, despite having an average attendance of 8,000 The current capacity holds 22,000, and they've never completely filled it for sporting events, although an England U21 match and a rugby match both had more than 20,000. Maybe it'll be used for gigs, maybe MK Dons will be bankrolled into the Premier league, but it seems a bit of a waste of money to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they started the planning process for this when our 2018 World Cup bid was in full swing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean they have to go through with it. Their plans for 2018/22 was a third tier and 45,000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I'm just offering an explanation as to why it happened. Not saying it's right or wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 My most hated football club in the entire world. Pure scum and so is anyone that supports them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, perhaps excluding anyone under the age of 16, even still, the parents are the scum for letting them attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asanovic Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Can't really blame the people that go and watch them. Big town that never had a team before, they're bound to support their local side. The people who set the club up and killed Wimbledon are the 'scum', not the current supporters of MK Dons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've got a team in your town, even if you don't avidly follow them, you'll probably go and watch them. Doesn't make them scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it that's not a literal statement. They must have known what footy was. Not everyone is a 'true' football fan, and understands the history and politics behind decisions being made. Some people just want to sit in a ground and watch a live football game. Fair dos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cisse Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Really dislike them and always happy to see them lose. On the other hand can't blame local people who supports a local club. It is not their fault what happened. Many of them would have liked to get their own club in a different way I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 They might be looking for a new manager soon as well. If Pearson goes to Leicester then Hull have hinted they may want the MK Dons chap manager to replace him I don't think it'd be the first time that has happened.. Di Matteo and Paul Ince have both come and gone. They remind me of Swansea, a really well run club who despite losing managers carry on with the same tradition.. They're also up and coming, just like Brighton.. I expect them to be a high flying NPC side in a few years. I also don't understand the hatred for them, so what if they relocated? The old Wimbledon was dead on it's knees and had a mountain of problems. It was logical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a local team, Milton Keynes City, who subsequently went out of business once the relocation had happened. If they wanted a local team to support they should have worked on getting them promoted through the divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wimbledon should have been allowed to die, not relocated as Wimbledon football club and then slowly changed into a completely new club starting in the football league. Winkleman is scum, everything that is wrong with modern football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
