The sort of Red Tape petty crap football, and society is interested in. Could they of not issued a programme for the game instead?
However could be a good one for programme collectors.

Time they moved on. History is littered with clubs that merged, moved, changed name etc.
All looks a bit petty now.

Imagine a group of scummy business interests get control our club. For their profits and for no other reason they sell our ground to developers and move us to a ground in, say, Uttoxeter (which is about the same distance between Wimbledon and Milton Keynes, just under 50 miles), now the owners aren't bothered about the 100 mile round trip to watch your home game because they think they can get new fans in the new location and you don't matter, you are just history, but they still call themselves a name similar to our old one. Imagine that this only happened to us 15 years ago, and that the theft of our club was still fresh and still burning inside every true fan... and then someone like you shrugs their shoulders and says that clubs do this all the time and we should all move on. What sort of reception do you think you would get or deserve? The fact is Wimbledon did nothing wrong here. The FA is being arsey because they allowed the theft of the previous club to take place and now don't want reminding of their selling out of fans out to the money grabbers each time the wombles play the fakes. It is the FA won should be charged for crimes against the game for what they allowed to happen to Wimbledon in 2002, instead they charge the reborn Dons for calling the fake club 'MK' or missing their name of a programme - it just shows how utterly out of touch the useless old duffers are.

Agree with Captain Duff. The FA should accept that they made a big mistake with MK Dons and that AFC Wimbledon in particular have unique relationship with them.
It's a bit of a shame that MK Dons have become pretty much accepted, really. Clubs should probably have refused to acknowledge them right from the start. I don't know where it still does, but the magazine When Saturday Comes used to leave them out of its season previews.

It still rankles with me the way the FA allowed Winkleman to completely rob a club of its identity. I still rate AFC Wimbledon as the true Dons and I wish them luck, which I could never do to the fakes.

Posts like this make it worth checking in here now and again.

FA are more interested in stamping on the smaller clubs like a big playground bully.

Great post captain. When you said it was under 50 miles I thought I heard at the time that it was 70, so I checked. From Plough Lane to MK's stadium is 59.1 miles and is a journey time of 1hr 39mins. As an aside I just wonder if any of the original Wimbledon fans still travel to Milton Keynes and if they do they ought to be ashamed of themselves.

It does confuse me a bit who MK Dons fans actually are. I can understand kids in MK wanting to watch their local club, but who are the grown adults who've suddenly decided to be fans of a club that's been relocated to their city? Their supporters seem like trolls basically, who are proud of stealing a club and want to gloat about it at every opportunity.

Great post. Unforgivable act of betrayal by the footballing powers that be. MK will never be anything other than a franchise to me. Will never be a proper club.

Say's in your article it's the owners of the ground that took them to the European Trade Mark Office, nothing to do with the F.A. Obviously Europe will side with a big powerhouse, even more reason to leave.

Obviously Europe will side with a big powerhouse, even more reason to leave. From Wiki Wembley Stadium is owned by the governing body of English football, the Football Association (the FA), through its subsidiary Wembley National Stadium Ltd (WNSL). So it has everything to do with the FA
