Franchise V Swindon (Not an offical match day thread)

[Fred Elliot]

To me a franchise 'fan' is and always will be fair game just by existing, however I can see this isn't the consensus on here, and as this isn't really my board, I shall retire from this discussion.

PWP ............its a board for everyone, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and debate and banter is the norm.

As far as I am concerned there is no need to retire from the forum or the discussion.

Here here, without debate and disagreement this would be a very dull place.  Stick around PWP.

[suttonred]

Dont worry i'll ban the fucker off ours ,so he'll have no choice but to come on here. (unless he bans me first of course)

[PetsWinPrizes]

I just meant I wasn't going to argue this point any more as I'm obviously not going to convince you.

[Mexicano Rojo]

fucking argue PWP you boring cunt, or are you just a plastic mk fan

Fuck that, stick the boot in Fred.

EDIT: Although PWP is 100% correct but that's no need for you to go all wishy-washy.

from an person who lives in MK, but is an Everton fan, who will always compare swindon and MK (by the towns and the football team - i've never lived in Swindon, so thats pointless on me), regarding the world cup bid:


Him :'so, within next 15 years milton keynes is going to just as big as cities as newcastle, isntabout fans longest teams etc etc, is wat will bring is most money'

Me :'but the WC will be giving the football club a little extra money...so that pretty much supports the defacing of english football. Nothing against the town, its more what the club stands for'

Him: 'the world cup is too show the rest of the world look how good our stadiums are and how convenient and proporationatly everything is ran, whilst running a profitable tournament that boosts our economy in the best approatiate way, obviously milton keynes is alot more suited that other less desireable clubs'

Me: ''convenient and proportionately everything is ran' - but its not ok to steal other clubs and turn them into a franchise though. the WC should be a way of showing the world how this country sees it's football. English football is based on a pyramid system with teams working their way up it by promotions. Not in the case of Franchise, who stole a club and got into the professional game by talking in meeting rooms. having stadium:mk as a stadium will bring that to light, and will leave a very bad impression of english football across the world.'

Him: 'jesus, look mk saved the dons from being completely and utterly fucked, in the process of that happened it was just a minor upsettin wimbledon fans and jealous fans who wished they could get a stadium like mk or wat the stadium will becomes, coz it will be in top 10/15 stadiums in uk in a few years times. And just face it money rules the world and ... See Moremore teams will fall under financial ruin and be resurected by very wealthy powerful people, its just the soical economic norm nowadays. and steal (i think it was done very much legally, so that term cant really be used). And bollocks it wil lleave a bad impression, u fink all the fans across the world will be listening to the tiny minority of bitter lower league supporters protesting outside mk's stadiums, like fuck they will watch the football and the stadium its played in, simple. Fans dont wants to come to some dead ent shit hole in the north, theyd much go to a mixture of traditional english cities and newer affluent places convinent to their travels. And can you really say you watched the south korea/japan world cup and looked up the historiacal significance of each stadium and club associted, nope. '

[pauld]

Hmm. Given Bill Kenwright is well documented as saying he doesn't have the money to take Everton forward and so is looking to sell, I wonder how your mate would feel if he sold to one of these dodgy Arab consortia we seem to be seeing so much of these days, who then decided that rather than being the 2nd team in Liverpool, they'd be much better off being the 1st team in some soulless shithole new town down south, and upped sticks and moved Everton to one of these "newer affluent places convinent to their travels"? Presumably, that'd be OK because money talks?

[Nemo]

Why stop in the South Paul, why not move the club to Abu Dhabi, massive commercial advantages there.

[Ardiles]

Quite right.  Basingstoke could do with a league side.  Or Bracknell.  Or Guildford...no team in Surrey at all.

Guildford have already got Man Utd though

Maybe if you WAS a proper Wimbledon fan you would have felt differently....4000 did and regularly watch The team they follow at those little shit holes you so lovingly talk about.

Whilst it was a slightly confusing post, I think your argument should be with the MK scouser rather than Div...

[leefer]

Agreed...my apologies,as usual the pretend scouser was talking bollox...in my opinion that is.

[SwindonTartanArmy]

He was decent enough when we shared a pint with him before

should have told him to get his own pint!
