what a cunt. what i dont get is why did they keep the dons bit at all? i wish theyd just get rid of it and forget it ever existed. AFC Wimbledon should just drop the AFC bit now as well. i really would love it if they got league status again.

I dont think AFC Wimbledon are allowed to drop the AFC bit.... The club wanted to name themselves FC Wimbledon when they were set up but the FA I think said that the name was too close to the original name (although the club at the time was using the name Wimbledon FC at the time of the MK move so perhaps now the name has been dropped it can be used)

Franchise do consider us rivals.. as well as Luton I believe, and Wycombe. The thing is, the way we act about them kinda makes me think we consider them rivals as well.

I think everybody accepts that Dachauer. But people are much happier supporting a club adopted in the lower leagues by the fans of one which went bust, than they are with a glorified soulless bunch of plastic cunts who gather in a soulless plastic bowl to watch their plastic team......

I think you get my point

Have to say I disagree.  I regard AFC Wimbledon as the continuation of the club that won the 1987 Cup Final, played that awful (but quite effective) long ball game in the 1980s and early 1990s and that beat us 3-0 at the County Ground in our Premiership season.

If you accept that the most important component of any club is its fanbase, then this is the conclusion you would (probably) reach - whilst I also accept that not all Wimbledon FC fans became AFC Wimbledon fans.

The only link Wimbledon FC has with Franchise FC is a company number at Companies House which, for me, has far less resonance.  The dirty Franchise conceded this point themselves when they returned all of Wimbledon FC's trophies.
