my favourite MK Dons moment is when they got relegated last season and the fans had an argument with pete winkelman in the car park 😭😭😭

As an AFC Wimbledon fan it is brilliant to look how we are now a fan owned club in a new stadium back at Plough Lane after nearly 30 years away and we have bigger average attendances than franchise and have been able to gain the support of our local community in South West London in a way they never will in Buckinghamshire. COYD💙💛

MK Dons are England’s version of Las Vegas A’s if it actually happens What’s happened in Oakland and Wimbledon are so similar, just replace a soulless stay at Selhurst with an increasing aging Coliseum, and temporary stays in SLC or Summerlin. Charles Koppel is the John Fisher of the story.

They're not my most hated English football club (which I shall not mention here) but I definitely have a certain aversion towards them. I wasn't even a Wimbledon fan but I was an Austria Salzubrg fan (now Red Bull) so I can understand why MK Dons are so disliked.

F*ck and I can't stress this enough, MK Dons

Germany lad here, thx for clearing up. I always tought MK Dons is a seperatist football Club from Donbass.

I grew up in Milton Keynes around the time the team moved. Even at age 10 I thought why not just bankroll an amateur team to the top leagues. There was a Milton Keynes FC that as the video says was in the 8th tier. Despite the plans for the stadium predating the club, the stadium wasn't finished by the time the team moved, so they had to play in the national hockey stadium for the first three years. With successive promotions through non-league, we could've had a mighty 5th tier team to debut in that new stadium by then, just one league below where MK Dons were in 2007. The problem was that Winkelman and the investors were not football people. They were property developers. They didn't understand that moving a team would never galvanise popular support. They just saw a team that was going for cheap and a crafty businessman spied an opportunity. Having a stadium hosting a recent premier league team on their plot was attractive for Ikea and Asda. They crunched the numbers and found the increased foot-traffic from a stadium would result in 27.4% more sales, and so they went for it. That was good to get a multi-million pound deal over the line over the span of 5-8 years, but 20 years later and MK Dons is still a joke. If you ask someone in Milton Keynes "where's the stadium", they will tell you "next to Ikea". That sums up the sad reality of the club well. Part of why a football team in Milton Keynes was never able to work is because everyone in MK is from somewhere else. I wasn't born in MK, we moved there because of my dad's work. The people that were born there's parents aren't from there. It's because there was no Milton Keynes before the 70s/80s. It was a village. People's loyalties are to their hometown or their dad's hometown club. The club was always fighting a losing battle for support from the town. The shameful nature of the club's founding only compounds the issue. Milton Keynes was selected to become a city because of population overspill from London and Birmingham, as such its location was selected for being equidistant between both cities, with very good transport between both. I can spend 15 minutes driving to Ikea to watch MK Dons or just an hour to get to Villa Park or the Emirates Stadium. 45 minutes difference between Premier League atmosphere hosting top teams or sitting in a 60% empty stadium where 50% of the fans are the away fans calling you wankers as the 300 Dons ultras break into occasional chants of "no one likes us no one likes us we don't care, etc.". It's very fitting that Milton Keynes is home to The Franchise, because it's a little piece of America in England. The plan for the city was based on the cities of Houston and Dallas (I recall this from a school trip we made to a museum, but I can find no record of this online (yes, Milton Keynes has a museum)); a central hub of economic activity with an enormous shopping centre with rings upon rings of nothing but housing. It's completely unlike any other town in England where settlements organically developed. Milton Keynes was mostly designed in the 80s when the Conservatives were in power and loved everything about America. 20 years later, we had a Las Vegas-style franchise to go with it. I don't completely hate the club. I do have a little smile any time I see their results, whether they win or lose. It's just a reminder that my old hometown's little abomination still exists.

Putting Wimbledon in Milton Keynes is like putting Australia in Eurovision. It doesn’t make sense, but it happened

MK Dons were formed because of a name change from Wimbledon FC to MK Dons, and two years prior had moved to Milton Keynes from South London, and now they have a fierce rivalry with AFC Wimbledon, who were formed to protest the move to Milton Keynes, people were so glad that the Dons (from Milton Keynes) went down in their second, twelfth, fourteenth and nineteenth seasons, also they don't really fill their stadium that much. Meanwhile AFC Wimbledon fill up their new Plough Lane every home game.

as someone who lives in MK i can back up the fact that most people in MK hate the mk dons or the the donkeys as they are usually called by people i know

Great points you are making. I personally as a German became a SC Freiburg after their relegation to the 2nd tier because I love the club culture, even though I live far away! ❤

I once went to a MK dons game just to see them get relegated, of course they lost and it happened, such a glorious moment.

I would love nothing more than to see MK Dons drop out the football league, and eventually go pop.

Met a dons fans out on a night out in Cardiff, one of the most down to earth supporter I’ve ever met and backs his side loyally, but yeah their history and formation is always going to be looked down upon

My favourite dons moment was sitting in the 'home' end at the hockey stadium, with my entire family, to witness Sunderland (their team) relegate them. Good Times.

My local club actually shares the story so I feel for them even more. I'm from a small town in Poland called Opoczno our Ceramika had their glory days in 90s, got close to promotion to 1st tier, played in cup quarters, then they got moved to Ostrowiec and KSZO came of it while we had to rebuild with a new team.

Would love for you to do a tier list of most respected clubs/fanbases etc. OR a video of clubs that deserve better teams. Basing it on history, fanbases etc.

I live in Mk and the only people in this city that support them are people who were born after 2004 and that’s only if their family don’t have a allegiance with another club. I personally feel indifferent about them (I’m a Luton fan) as I do think having a nice stadium in the city for other event like music and England games is a positive thing for the community, its just a shame that it was always be tarnished by the history.

As an MK dons fan, wait... IM NOT AN MK DOMS FAN!!! WHAT THE FU

3:14 I feel attacked 😂 fortunately my grandad actually was a mcfc fan, and I've got matchday tickets from 06-12 to prove it!

From MK, even I consider dons an insult, we deserve better.

They’re not the Dons, they might receive more respect if they dropped the dons and became Milton Keynes only.

I always use MK Dons as an example against private club ownership. Here in Argentina, football clubs are owned by fans and not companies, as football club "companies" are illegal, and whenever private ownership arguments come up I use this as an example of why it's a bad idea to switch without regulation. The german model is a great example of how private ownership of a club could work, as long as you have an anti-Red Bull rule lmao.

It’d be like if Sheffield Wednesday became Brighton Wednesday; it just makes no sense

There's also an American involved in the ownership of AFC Wimbledon... John Green, the author/KZfaqr

I remember when you put them into "Tinpot" because of how they took football away from Wimbledon, but found it hard as you know someone who supports them, especially since it's not their fault how the team came to existence, they're supporting their local team. I bet that was hard, but yep, I find it hard to ignore how Franchise FC came about, everytime their name gets passed about, I'm like "Oh yes, that lot who stole football off Wimbledon and alienated their fanbase!".

the 5,900 average attendance is bs, the club massages figures with free tickets to schools and they count st sales which are basically given away

Could you do a video on wtf is going on at Blackburn? My uncle has been a lifelong supporter and all he does is cry about how he HATES the owners & wishes he could go back to the 90’s🤕……

What makes everyone happy about MK Dons? 1) They are relegated. 2) Any team beating them in a match regardless it is in Football Manager or real life.

Oi Vizeh. I've been really enjoying your content since two, three years ago. I really want to thank you for making these videos about football as a sport generally. As a person living in South Korea and probably one of your few Asian audiences, you've really helped me keep up with the footballing culture in England. But I have to ask for you to make a video essay on Jurgen Klinsman. He was sacked by the South Korean FA a mere 3 days ago, and he was only 11 months into his South Korean manager tenure. His incompetence caused the South Korean national team, possibly the strongest in all of Asia, to get knocked out of the AFC Asian cup in embarassing fashion in the quarter finals. It may be a good result for south Korea, but Klinsman was completely neglective of the national team, and only relied on the star players to get results without giving any tactical advice. Not to mention he spent HALF OF HIS TENURE OF KOREAN NATIONAL TEAM MANAGER IN THE US OF A. IS HE TAKING A GOD DAMN PISS. The South Korean FA sacked him a few days ago, but thanks to him the national team's ego and the player's overall morale has taken a huge hit. The South Korean football fans are absolutely enraged about the FA's decision in the first place to promote Klinsmann as their head coach. He was inconsistent in Bayern Munich and Schalke. I know that it may be a big leap for you to focus on issues outside of European football, but I can't and don't want this issue to be contained just inside Korea. I want the issue to be spread world wide. So it would be great if you could do a video essay about Jurgen's horrendous south korean tenure. Thanks a lot for the great content you make man. keep it up.

Im just hoping for the entirely possible scenario this year where MK Dons plays Wimbledon in the League 2 playoff finals. That would be spicy to say the least.

I’d like to clarify that Wimbledon - MK absolutely isn’t a derby. We’d rather forget their existence.

Great video once again Vizeh. I'm an English football fan in Vancouver and would never have thought I would watch a football video and here the word Vancouver in it. 😂

Your location for where the NJ Nets played is about an hour, probably more, away from where they REALLY were. They actually played right across the road from MetLife Stadium, where the World Cup Finals will be. The actual straight-line distance between the two sites is just over 10 miles or around 17 km

Hate the franchise scum- COME ON YOU DONS 💙💛

Happy We Have Actual Real Reformed AFC Wimbledon Who Currently Plays in EFL League Two Because They Went Founded in May 2002 Following Fans Did Not Like Original AFC Wimbledon Relocation. They Finally Moving to Plough Lane 18 Years Later (Original Wimbledon Used To Play Before).

As a person living in Milton Keynes I’ve been to the Nando’s there more than the stadium

One thing you missed Vizeh, Americans absolutely hate teams relocating. My city’s NFL team (Cleveland Browns) got relocated and it’s still a sore subject in the city. Great content as always though’

Franchise filth has no place in football. Up the REAL Dons. COYD💛💙

Franchises don't work in other English sports either. Wasps RFC were the professional arm of one of the oldest Rugby clubs in the world, Wasps FC, (predating the RFU and FA) and based in NW London. However, after a few seasons under the same ownership as QPR and based at Loftus Road, they were sold on and ended up in an awful groundshare agreement with Wycombe Wanderers. Not London, but at least in the commuter belt. Literally months away from going bust, they took advantage of Coventry City's owners SISU being silly buggers with the Ricoh Arena's owners and managed to buy the ground under City's noses. Problem is, they purchased it through supporters buying bonds. The arena never made as much money as they expected, and then the bonds were due to be repaid right in the middle of the pandemic. They couldn't get a bank loan to cover the bonds and went bust. The ground was sold to Mike Ashley, Coventry became the main tenants again, and now Wasps are trying to establish themselves in Sevenoaks for the 24/25 season with no announced players, coaching staff, known funding or even complete planning permission for a new stadium. And they want to be in the 2nd tier. It's an absolute farce and it's only because of their past success and shareholders that it's even being considered.

Liam i know this is kinda late and you'll probably not going to see this, but i would LOVE to see a video on Eric Cantona. He truly was a man in his own world

This is what happened to the Cleveland Browns in America Football. They got their team taken because the ownership were offered a new stadium and more money in Baltimore, so they were moved and renamed to the Ravens who took the history for 5 years till we got the Browns back in 1999.

As a Wimbledon resident, and having supported the club since birth, fuck Franchising. We are the Dons.

love the channel, disappointed the dons part is in the title but other than that keep up the brilliant work coyd

I feel for the new MK Dons fans as they had no part in what happened to the old Wimbledon but man...i don't even recognise them as a real club. I'm so pleased with what AFC Wimbledon have achieved so far.

I have a soft spot for afc Wimbledon cause of them lol

In St. Pete, Florida, Tropicana Field (The Trop) was built in the late 80s to lure a baseball team over to the Tampa Bay area. This did not happen for nearly a decade, until MLB expanded, adding a team called the Tampa Bay Devil Rays (now just the Rays) in 1998. So some parallels to MK Dons (stadium built before team existed) except nowhere near as bad

I wouldn’t say I am a Dons fan but I’ve been to games growing up , living just outside of mk it was the closest “big” club around and my dad could get the ticket cheap so it was a good bit of fun for what it was , I will always have good memories of the time spent watching them play. As United fan I still struggle to understand how that 4-0 even happened it was a travesty 🤣

Nonsense like this has been why I’ve had an intense aversion to Austin FC here in the states since they were founded. Have hated them their entire existence and always will because the *city* was actively pining for my side.

As someone who lives near Milton Keynes, the stadium looks cool and that’s all I have to say about MK dons

It also came out recently that there was some interest in moving the team to Belfast too

Manchester United fans might be familiar about this club because of what happened in 2014 (they got slapped 0-4 in EFL Cup).

Just a heads up the grizzlies failed in Vancouver because the organization made poor draft picks, city of Vancouver didn’t show up to games and the canadian dollar was just weak overall. In a draft, Steve Francis got picked by them and he fully declined, resulting in him getting waived(hella disrespectful tbh). When Toronto and Vancouver entered the league they were both bad, but we’re a bigger city with much more money floating around and a population of basketball fans

For a while when they were just starting over me and a few friends would go watch and spend out money at Wimbledon whenever our team played MK Dons away.

They went from just a point away from us and the chamionship to being in league two in the span if 3 season. Bit mental to think about

You need to do a separate video on AFC Wimbledon

As a german, the only thing i knew about MK Dons is that Dele Alli played for them… nice Video i am know an official MK Dons hater… keep up with this Great stuff mate

I genuinely love how apologetic Vizeh is to MK Dons fans because there's no real way to properly explain their history as a football club without pissing off a few MK Don fans. Great video as usual mate. I'm curious if the attendance issue would be the same if they were in the Prem tho. 🤔

Also thank you for reminding us why the Memphis Grizzlies remain in the NBA's Western Conference even though they are closer to New York than Los Angeles.

I remember MK Dons somehow got promoted to the Championship with automatic promotion as well as Bristol City. Now they are in League Two😳

To all MK Dons fans - your club is utterly sickening. Milton Keynes was made to reject Londoners to a new town. You'll never understand what it means to be from South London, a cultural hotbed, the best rollercoaster on Earth. So much great music and theatres and stadiums yet so many estates, so much deprivation, so many stabbings every single week. These estates bring cage football - AFC Wimbledon are the best example of triumphing over adversity. For a team that originally got rapid promotions in the late 70s to a club moved 72 kilometres away, with the colours, badge, name and location all drastically changed, from the 9th tier the fans set up a new club and got 5 promotions in 9 years. Through offering contracts to young pro footballers, we've saved so many kids from disgusting knife violence that you could NEVER understand. We still have no money as a club. We give players £15 vouchers for local cafes to get lunch as we can't even afford to have a canteen in our training ground. Our fans clubbed together to raise £33 million, £9 million of that in a loan - the largest football bond ever issued in sporting history - in which thousands of our fans put in thousands of pounds each at tiny interest rates knowing they wouldn't see the money again for the 20-year length of the loan. All this, in a cost of living crisis, to rebuild our club. A lot of Wimbledon fans DIED before ever seeing their team come back to Plough Lane solely because of your club's existance alone. I work in media and rest assured I will be speaking to my colleagues at ITV to arrange a docudrama on how repulsive MK Dons are and how AFC Wimbledon rose up the leagues from the brink of despair. After the Hillsbrough disaster and the Post Office scandal, I genuinely believe that Pete Winkelman stealing WFC was the third biggest miscarriage of justice in Britain's entire legal history. Rest assured that by the time we get this documentary out, there will be national utter outrage and the whole country will see what your club stole. It's only thanks to a massive effort that had a tiny chance of happening that AFC Wimbledon are back in the EFL and back at Plough Lane. Lives SHATTERED for three decades, homeless. You could NEVER understand what it means in South London, how culturally significant football is in the wellbeing of London citizens and the prevention of knife crime. The Hillsbrough disaster and Post Office scandal are so, so similar to AFC Wimbledon. All those board neetings, fighting tooth and nail for decades for justice. Ivor Heller, who set up AFC Wimbledon, is exactly like Anne Williams, or Alan Bates. Ivor Heller is literally like Matthew in the Bible. He facilitated a ressurection, from the absolute unthinkable brink of despair - WFC, a piece of Britain's cultural heritage, DEAD because of your club. You forced our academy players back onto the South London estates, back into knife crime. You will never understand. You stole a 113-year-old club, an institutiom bringing hope to South London since 1889. AFC, we were told by Parliament that our very existance was "not in the wider interests of football". We went back into Parliament with the organisatiom FairGame - it is thanks to AFC Wimbledon fans that the white paper on ownership is being put through. Thanks to these fans, who ironically had their own club shattered to utter smithereens, no club in the UK will ever again change badge, location, colours or name without majority approval of club fans. In summer 2002, Chelsea had just won the Premier League and AFC Wimbledon had just been set up in the 9th tier. The Dons, even in the 9th tier, had a larger regional charity operation than the reigning Prem champions! AFC Wimbledon have already had preseason tours abroad. Support from the brink of death, from despair, from not existing. We amassed record season ticket sales straight after our first relegation. Over 4,000 fans every other Saturday in the 9th tier and it's more than double that now we're 5 divisions higher and back at home. Thanks to US. And nobody else at all.

Milton Keynes FC (I refuse to call them Dons), are also known as the Bletchley Stealers, due to the stadium location, which is in an adjacent town, that the City of MK now encroaches upon. The average home attendances you mention, are only as high as they are because of higher than usual away followings from visiting teams. The club have not earned the respect of fans from other teams. In contrast, Wimbledon (the real Dons), have earned total respect, for pre and post (Winkleman) achievements. To have reformed and climbed to their current league status, virtually from park football, is remarkable. MK should have done the same and even with the massive advantage of the council built stadium, they would have been accepted; no issue. Eternal good luck to the (real) Dons, from an MK resident.

Ironically MK Don's have more fans than most Saudi Games

Going to a Dons game is worth it if you live in MK and you want to watch some cheap league 2 football because there’s always tickets, used to go when I was at school when Dele was still there, good days out if you’re a neutral tbh

2004! Such rich history compared to the most hated club in Germany: Red Bull Leipzig (founded in 2009)

Good timing

Imagine if some of the other teams had relocated or being forced to go there. Milton Keynes Rangers, Milton Keynes Palace, Luton Keynes....

As an MK Dons fan, its tough sometimes but we are coming to a erea of the club where there is a youth core growing and like the video said, we dont have the worse attendances it just looks bad. Same in league 1 we were in the top10 for attendances. Just built the stadium to quick😂

Hopefully FGR will be back in the National League this time next year. With MKD soon to follow.

It is crazy, they would have been better off just starting a club off from scratch. Milton Keynes is one of England's newest towns, so it would have worked I think

Went in something like 2018. Half the seats still weren't installed in that stadium.

People in North America seemingly don't care as much about teams relocating. The Los Angeles Lakers are one of the most famous and popular pro sports teams, and they started out in Minnesota. They're only called the Lakers because Minnesota has so many lakes (unlike Southern California)

Isn’t Millwall the most hated

At this point they should just drop the dons from their name and go as mkfc and show that the club is there for the people of milton keynes

I have honestly got to thank the owners of MK Dons for not buying my club. Much love on valentines to them

I am pleased Wimbledon afc are back where they belong I believe in the football League. I have empathy for Wimbledon as a club who were unable initially, to find a Home Ground in the past for two reasons. I Remember them defying the odds and climbing from the Southern league to progress to the dizzy height of the Old 1st division and staying there for many years, even winning the F.A. Cup. Secondly as a Bristol Rovers Fan we faced the same problems Wimbledon had when we had no Home after Being tossed out of our original stadium at Eastville in Bristol. Year in year out we had to move to Ashton Gates Ground the Home of our local rivals Bristol City temporary before moving to Twerton Park Bath City's Ground in 1989. Try as we may whenever the owners found a suitable area to build a new ground at the last minute planning position was seemingly always turned down! Until finally we were relocated to moderately sized Memorial Ground in Horfield Bristol sharing a ground with Bristol Rugby Union Groud. Wimbledon faced the same problems which must have been frustrating. Especially as Wimbledon Football team were at the time the only club in South West London with a surrounding population of 1.5 million. Good Luck to you.xx

I suport the dons. I ain’t a die hard. I just live near Mk so is my local decent level team to watch. I know they aren’t great with everything they did, and buying into the top leagues. Just enjoyed going to watch some football with my dad.

American fans often don't like the team moves either, so from across the pond I still understand As for MK Dons eventually renouncing Wimbledon FC's history - it's like when the NFL's Cleveland Browns moved to Baltimore and became the Ravens. The Ravens are considered to be a new team, and a few years later, a new team took over the Browns history. And the Ravens were a replacement for the Baltimore Colts moving to Indianapolis; while the Indianapolis team kept the Colts history, most Baltimore American football fans associate with the Ravens instead - so to old Colts fans, the Ravens are like the Wimbledon phoenix club.

Wasn`t another reason the ground was built because the FA thought that England were nailed on to host the 2006 World Cup , because of David Beckham , and needed decent grounds

MK Dons are hated, but I have to admit......I do quite like managing them on Football Manager! Their kits are quite cool (all white home, usually all red/all black away kits), they have a 'cool' sponsor in Suzuki ('cool' because it reminds me of the old Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak car from Gran Turismo 2....and, at least it ain't a gambling company!), and they have a _massive_ stadium that is basically purpose built to be a Premier League ready stadium.......but it's still actually quite a challenge to get them into the Premier League, but if you can, their fanbase does eventually grow enough to fill the stadium! I kinda hate myself for making them good though, so it's not a team I choose to manage on FM all that often lol

Rare now a days for an owner to actually care about the club and build it properly.Blackburns owner in the 90’s(I forgot his name don’t hate me) was a prime example of a great owner.Vizeh don’t hate me because i mentioned blackburn

Before you all fall over each other in hating MK, just consider this. There are still a good number of original Wimbledon fans who stayed with their team, and still come to MK. Their voice is NEVER heard in all this. Yet you need to hear what they say before you jump to your biased conclusions.

Another big thing to understand about franchises and leagues in NA is that you can buy your way into the top professional leagues if you have the money. Wanna start a team? Are you rich? Do you know a city that wants a sports team? Congratulations, you own a TOP TIER professional sports team. As a north american, this works in our leagues and systems. MK Dons is a perfect example as to why that model will always fail in other systems.

Reminds me allot of RB Leipzig. The most hated club in Germany. But what they did was on a bigger scale

There's no MK Dons in UK. There's only Wimbledon there.

You could have a nap across the many empty seats around you at half time. 😅🤣

The part that annoys me the most is the fact that they stole the nickname "the Dons" from Wimbledon. They might be hated a tiny bit less if they were known as the Roundabouts. Or the Concrete Cows. 🤷‍♂ But if you want to support a club in the MK area with a little bit more soul, there's Newport Pagnell Town in tier 9.

As an mk dons fan i love my club in 20 years our club will grow im definetly not expecting prem but hopwfully championship i will never switch supporting my club attendence is an issue which will probably be solved in the later future but i love my club

As a MK Dons fans, its painful having to deal with hate and hate, but as a real fan i will stay with this club until i die

think about the sole legend mk dons ever had ，dean lewington ，he had astonishing 782 caps for this notorious club😢

MK Dons are just a rebranded American style franchise club. Stadium MK located in an area of Bletchley rather than Milton Keynes itself is ironic. The idea failed by the lack of growth of there fanbase. Stadium itself is rather nice. If they'd of started at the bottom of the league pyramid they'd not get much hate. The English league pyramid is phenomenal and with the right idea and dedication clubs can do so much. Be very interesting see if Bury or Macclesfield can get back to the EFL one day too. Shame someone for MK didn't do it the pure way without changing the history of another club. This video is fantastic about the rise of AFC Wimbledon kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLuVjK-r3NHMfoU.htmlsi=Rz-RLyOe-xfMKosD West Ham, Leeds and Millwall probably most hated clubs outside current premier league.

Also quick question if you are a five year old in Milton Keynes should they support their local club and if not who should they support?

Ok. Time to win the Champions League with MK Dons on EA FC 24, just to take the piss

In México, thefranchise system allows this to happen way too often. My team, Morelia, disappeared in 2020 due to a very similar situation.

But a lot of clubs have moved/changed name, and without the ire and hatred aimed towards them as MK Dons gets. Arsenal moved across a city from SE London to Highbury, then moved again to the Emirates. Manchester United were originally known at Newton Heath, and played across Manchester initially. There's many more examples, but these were off the top of my head

We have a somewhat similar issue here in Australia with Western United. They just exist so the league has 12 soon to be 13 and 14 teams but they are the only ones with no specific location, or home ground, or fans. They are hated because they are a waste of space and resources

I remember way back in the day Hank Green had a fifa series and he picked AFC Wimbledon specifically because of the story of their resurgence after the f***ery of MK Dons And I totally agree. As an American, I understand why relocation is a thing here and not in Europe. In Europe the clubs are just that: clubs. They're part of the community and an extension of it, and there is potential for your lowly local club to climb through the ranks and into the top professional leagues. But in america it's strictly business. The only connection to the community antean has is the history of the legacy teams and the taxes you pay to the team to keep them in your city (yes, that's really a thing). It's a corporate, monopolistic product. And honestly I kind of hate it

ive been to the ikea next to the mk dons stadium and my dad was living in MK when the waste of space was being built

As an AFC Wimbledon supporter, I can’t stand MK Dons however without the split we never would have been in the position we are in now

Matt Cove who had a role with charity department for MK Dons got released for coming onto a 16 year old girl. Dodgy ran club
