Esmond Million's Bung Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Congratulations to AFC Wimbledon on their play off victory and the regaining of their league status, after the authorities cruelly allowed the 'franchise' to be passed on to an invented club who were then just allowed into the football league without having earned that right. Only one league divides them now and I hope Wimbledon overtake them in the next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to post about this, congratulations to the real Dons and I'm sure football fans up and down the country will be deligted to see them return to the football league. That FA should hang their heads in shame for what they allowed to happen, hope to see them overtake that pile of shit Franchise FC sometime soon.

grifty Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Couldn't care less about AFC Wimbledon! Wimbledon were a horrible club associated with horrible people. They cry and moan just as much as FC United! EDIT: Although their rise from counties league to league football in 9 years is a remarkable achievement.

havanatopia Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 It was a cracking match too; Both the Wombles and Luton looked far better than any of the 4 teams that played in the League 2 play offs yesterday. I can see Crawley going up again and the Dons not that far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangers Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 As a former Wimbledon season ticket holder I am delighted that they are back in the football league. They were a well run club, with great loyal supporters who were destoryed by the FA. Hope one day they can overtake the MK Dons.....who should now CHANGE THEIR NAME..... THERE ARE ONLY 1 DONS IN THE FOOTBALL LEAGUE NOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 I'm wondering, if something disastrous happened to City, for example the club spending way beyond their means season after season and we had a rich benefactor who walked away and left us with 12million losses every year to find, would Bristol City be reborn in a similar way if it went out of existence, I can see there are many fans around the country who have fallen out of love with their club and would almost certainly want to see their club restarted again, however small. I know FC United was born out of frustration and Wimbledon were forced into it, is their a will in Bristol to do the same. Surely we all know people who just dont go anymore because it's too expensive, atmosphere is crap etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wimbledon can do it (they have a much smaller fanbase then people realise) then City certainly could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Chester City reformed as Chester FC after going bust, luckly because the council owned The Deva they were given the lease of it and continue to get 2'000+ crowds in the Northern Premier League Division One North. They won promotion and will start next season in the Northern Premier League Premier Division (Level 7) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDOXO Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Congratulations AFC Wimbledon. I went to watch them in the Mid Eighties against Everton...I needed a neck brace for a week afterward as my head was always looking skyward!! Great to see them back to rub a few noses in it!!!

When the fixtures come out on June 17th it will hit home just how low they have sunk! West Ham home for us Crawley/Wimbledon away will make it sink home to them i think, please Mr Computer fixture list sort this out. Oh and also a home game on Boxing day please and Brighton & Southampton away when its still hot, cheers. And Blackpool as well if they come down.

ciderup Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Same as the majority TBH, although I didn't like the football Wimbledon played in Vinny Jones and Fashanu's day, their supporters were treated abysmally when Enckleman came calling. I am really pleased that the real Dons are back in the league and let's hope they can draw MKD away in the JPT next season, I for one would like to go to that one! Well done Wombles. :clapping: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcliffe 78 Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Money in lower leagues talks as well, Crawley?, why did they piss the league so easy offering big money to players, Wimbledon have done the same, nice to see but it was not done on a shoe string budget.

bucksred Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Well done AFC Wimbledon, brilliant acheivement. Please overtake the Mongs ASAP. Feel sorry for Lu'on though, being beat by a moneybags side, and by a side more screwed by the FL worse they have been. I reckon League 2 should have three relegations and the Conference 2 auto & 1 play off winner, promoted, same as the rest of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Simple answer is YES. If Wimbledon can do it (they have a much smaller fanbase then people realise) then City certainly could. Actually I am of the view that most people realised they had/have a small fan base; when they were in the prem they had by far the smallest crowds. The actual size though is not important here; what is important is that they have demonstrated, for a second time, that they have a huge will and ability to rise up through the leagues. They are a phenomenon the likes of which we see only rarely. 5 promotions in 9 seasons is a remarkable achievement and who would bet against them making it 6 in 10.

Ending up in Milton Keynes was probably the best thing from a business perspective if Dublin was not possible. Ok, you can feel sorry for the fans being "hijacked" but you can't blame todays owners of MK Dons and their players. They are doing very well although everyone is against them so they get my vote. Kingstonians also lost their ground to the money men. The English game is more or less dead and the only thing to be missed is the attitude. Doing my best to get pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
