Incidentally while listening to the often excellent Football Weekly I found out that AFC Wimbledon, the club set up by fans after their old club, Wimbledon, were moved to Milton Keynes and renamed the MK Dons, could be up in the Football League next year. What a fantastic achievement that would be!
They could then face the aforementioned MK Dons in the Football League in a matter of seasons. What a game that would be, and what a moment if AFC Wimbledon were to beat the team that effectively abolished Wimbledon and caused all those fans to lose their club. |
I grew up round the corner from Plough Lane and my first ever football watch was watching WImbledon Vs York, in 1980. I supported them through the years, following the original crazy Gang (Fash, Vinnie, Lanchez etc etc).
Once they became the MK Dons, it was never the same and although I still look out for AFC Wimbledon results, I did feel like I lost a club to support.
Hopefully AFC Wimbledon will 'do a Wimbledon' again and be more successful than the MK Dons. And then justice will be served.
