Franchise a club with no identity and no history located in a Town in the same attributes.

The only team I'd laugh at if they went bust.

laugh at, celebrate, jump for joy. No-one would miss them, they don't have any proper fans by definition of what they are.

Only fans who have an excuse for supporting them are the under-5's and even they should soon know better.

MK Franchise is the scum of the earth.

No history...and full of plastic fans...and if they went bust, no-one would shed a tear for them.

The only club formed, so they could build an Asda Wal-Mart in town !!!

By the way, if you read this article, you might feel sick....

It's a sickener, but they won't be going bust any time soon...much as I would love them to.  It's also apparent that, over time, more people are accepting of them.

I will always hate what they stand for.  I have never watched us away at Milton Keynes and I never will.  But in 20 years from now I expect that most of the people who hold them in contempt will be aged 45 or over and younger fans will be wondering what all the fuss is about.  Which is precisely what Winkleman was banking on.

There.  That's cheered everyone up, hasn't it.

I don't think people who know about the formation of the club and care now will ever change their opinions. Unfortunately here at STFC we seem to be one of the few places where people actually have a problem with it  :?

Just one of the many reasons I'm proud to be a Town fan. Shows a degree of common sense and thoughtfulness about the game as a whole that the Premiership armchair fans will always lack
