MK Dons v AFC Wimbledon

[david3103]

For people who want to read more about the truth behind the franchise lies, there is an excellent blog here: http://truthaboutfranchisefc.blogspot.co.uk/

... I will not be going to any game between the two teams. Many Wimbledon fans differ in their views on this. Some want to go and have a big presence there, some want a total boycott, some would go to a home game but not to Franchise, some want the game to happen and some don't. There are as many different opinions as there are Wimbledon fans.

What happened to Wmbledon was appalling and the success of the club in it's current form is amazing and uplifting for true football fans. But the highlighted sentence did make me smile.

A business was going under, a business owner found and exit strategy that allowed the survival of his business.

This is not what i would call a travesty.

Wimbledon as long as i knew them never played in Wimbledon anyway.

The business was not going under. That was all lies.

Not sure what I'd do about going to the game if I was a Wimbledon fan.

A huge part of me would want to go to the game with massive numbers "just to make as much noise as possible and prove a point"

I get that the fans can't bear to put a penny into that other club by attending, but isn't it about pride in supporting your team?

Personally I'd get more satisfaction by being there shouting all day and by displaying a large flag/banner to show my loyalty.

Its an FAC tie

45% of the net revenue to the home club, 45% to the away club

10% to the FA

AFC fans should go as 45p of every pound they spend, less policing, stewarding costs etc, goes back to their club

Unlike a league game, where they are not on a rev share.

would they still not get 45% from MK but 100% profit from watching it on a big screen at their own ground too. Makes a bigger impact and generates publicity for the club

Arsenal have not played in their original location for the past 99 years - these things are not a new trend.
