    OT - Milton Keynes

    Lost today whilst Wimbledon won. 7 points between them now. Would be very sweet if MK find themselves a division below the real Dons next season.

    The true Dons' fans will have a great sense of justifiable satisfaction. It has taken years of fight and determination but they will feel that they have overturned one of the greatest miscarriages of morality to blight football in the modern era.

    Agree 100%. I've got nothing against Milton Keynes having a league team, and they have a very nice stadium (with extraordinarily big and comfortable seats!), but the truth is they should have begun and grown their own club, not stolen someone else's.

    Morally it was wrong for Wimbledon to be moved many miles north to Milton Keynes.

    But what happened was that Wimbledon didn’t really move because the fans set up a new club, local to them in their community. That club called AFC Wimbledon was the true Dons at heart.

    Milton Keynes had a ready made league football club move in and over the years that club has become a part of the fabric and community of Milton Keynes.

    After AFC Wimbledon’s rise back into the football league the two clubs eventually came to a level playing field when AFC Wimbeldon were promoted to league one.

    Now it looks as though Milton Keynes are to drop to a level below AFC Wimbledon. No doubt this will be some justice for the AFC Wimbeldon fans who had to watch and wait for their club to rebuild and rise again.

    It just goes to show that as long as their is a community who wants their local club to survive it will do so in some capacity and then some.

    Totally agree! When you think what Wimbledon fans have been through it puts our problems into perspective!

    Can't say I liked their stadium - it had no atmosphere. Felt more like I was going to see a kid's end-of-the-year concert performance.

    Is the correct answer

    Three of MK's last four games are away, they have to play S****horpe and, on the final day, Shrewsbury away, so it very much looks like they will be relegated.

    Wimbledon have home games with fellow strugglers Oldham and finish the season at home to bottom club Bury. So it looks promising for them.
