MK Dons... why?

National Hockey Stadium

So, now that "Wimbledon" are firmly entrenched in Milton Keynes how are we meant to respond to them? There are two trains of though here :

1. Let them get on with it. Let's face it, no matter how wrong and disgusting the FA's decision was to allow them to move from Wimbledon, they aren't ever going back there, are they? And if they did, would the AFC Wimbledon fans welcome them back now that they have set up their own club? No. So should the rest of us accept it and hope that the FA have now tightened up the laws enough to stop it happening again.

2. Hate them with a passion. Something that AFC Wimbledon will continue to do, probably for generations (and they'll probably be playing each other in some league or other soon anyway). The problem with this is, there's only so much hate to go round. Rotherham, Scunny, Barnsley and the Sheffield clubs for a start. Then there's the abomination of Ru$hden and Diremonds. And Stevenage and any club that Mark Wright manages. It's exhausting all this hate and the line has to be drawn somewhere.

To be honest though, MK Dons and their "loyal" fans have a long way to go and a lot of bridge building to be done to restore even amicable ties and bonds with fans of other clubs. It won't upset me to see them relegated this season and I hope we can stick the first nail in the coffin by battering them tommorow night.
