The real Wimbledon will move to MK, the Wimbledon who survived against all the odds, the Wimbledon who played in the Premiership and the real Wimbledon supporters will travel up to MK every other week to watch their team.


Lol yeah, right.

What a load of Crap. If Gillingham supporters want to support their team then good on them. You see all their "supporters" complaining about Wimbledon FC and then shouting abuse at the real supporters of Wimbledon who went to see their team play at home. Lets remember where wimbledon were 18 years ago and since their journey into their premiership more supporters kept turning up. I bet you none of the supporters who watch AFC Wimbledon were there in the dark days when they struggled in the lower divisions. And the people who were there will be going to MK.
They complained about the fact they didnt have a ground well once it looks like they are getting one they leave the club. I tell you what the real supporters will be watching their team play at MK. Wimbledon didnt deserve a new stadium when you can only get 8,000 supporters for a Premiership game it is pointless. The real Wimbledon will move to MK, the Wimbledon who survived against all the odds, the Wimbledon who played in the Premiership and the real Wimbledon supporters will travel up to MK every other week to watch their team.
AFC Wimbledon are a joke, how can those people go from one club to another like that, because it certainly isnt the same club. I know I couldnt switch on my emotions like they can. AFC Wimbledon supporters are not real supporters. once all the hype has died down they will be stuck in the lower divisions playing in front of a few hundred people like every other team in that division. Ill tell you what nothing would please me more than that happening whilst the real Wimbledon in MK play in the Premiership in a nice new stadium.
You can't really call them dark days in the lower divisions either. In the old D2/3/4 they were at the time only a recent entry to the League, so despite some mixed fortunes can hardly be described as you did. Prior to that, well non-league football can be a lot more fun than the top flight game.

Whilst I can see some of the interest in AFC dying down over the next few years, I reckon they'll most likely end up somewhere like Aldershot. A few quick promotions, and begin to level off around the Conference.

As for the MK bound club, I think they are the one who are going to find themselves in trouble. MK isn't exactly known for it's support of their local team (probably a good thing for MK Dons), and unless they do achieve a quick promotion to the Premiership, but people aren't going to stop supporting Man Utd/Arsenal/Liverpool because they have a new local 2nd division side. And they won't even be small enough like MKC to adopt a second local side.

The real supporters are those following the new club - it has the intention of being part of the community of Wimbledon. The first division club is nothing but the first American style franchise to hit football in this country.

Maybe they should sign Gazza
