It’s clearly not the same club anymore though is it?
You only have to look at the club’s crest to confirm that even Franchise themselves have little or no desire to have a continuing association with Wimbledon.
A club is built on its fans. They are the lifeblood of any club and in turn the majority go on to represent the people in the club’s catchment area and provide a continuous link from past to present.
Comparing the distances between Kingston and Milton Keynes is pushing it a bit as well Dorset.
A few clubs play outside of their Borough now most by necessity but comparing 60 miles to 4 makes it a bit of a non-starter really. Like most clubs outside of their Borough Kingston was a necessity driven by the need for a viable ground.
I’m not so much arsed with the way Wimbledon FC was effectively stolen. They would have struggled to continue playing much longer but that doesn’t mean that Winkleman should effectively been allowed to purchase a league place as a vessel to develop a supermarket.
To be honest I don’t have much time for their fans either. Fair enough with the youngsters experiencing their first taste of league football but I can’t see how several thousand grown men have all of a sudden decided to support a football team out of the blue.
I’m not sure what’s worse the fact that they have decided to ditch the club they previously supported, supporting two clubs or not bothering to back the original Milton Keynes football club in the first place!
