Tuesday night

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Is that's all that's important to you Nige? 'My team. My this my that. I want my way. Now.'

So by boycotting the game we hurt Town ,

Speaking with fans other lower league clubs on the subject of MK Dons recently, I've started to get the impression that the ill-feeling towards them has dissipated somewhat. This, to some extent, may be due to the fact that in a little over a decade the club has made no progress in terms of league position and fan base, whilst also (quite remarkably) being overtaken by the very club whose league position they stole.

For me though, none of that's relevant. The point is this; they set a precedent which says that if you really want to, you can buy a football club and move it wherever you like in pursuit of some perceived commercial opportunity.

And then you look at Town. A club in possession of a football league place, but one which resides in what to many outsiders is an undesirable and inconvenient location with a limited catchment. Consider too that we'd be relatively cheap to buy, with very little in the way of tangible assets to speak of (BP is worth sod all) - just the matter of a little benign loan to settle.

It sounds fanciful, but then I'd have said the same of MK Dons twenty years ago. If you were in the market to purchase a club and move it to, say, Dublin (which was one of the [url=https://www.balls.ie/football/balls-remembers-complete-story-wimbledon-almost-came-dublin-135956]original plans for Wimbledon[/url]), then we'd have to be an attractive proposition.

I hope beyond hope that nothing like this will ever happen in English football again but nevertheless we live in a world where increasingly money talks and for that reason alone, the ordinary fan should never forgive or forget what happened to Wimbledon FC.

I enjoy the rivalry which comes with being a football supporter, but I don't 'hate' Scunny or Lincoln fans. At the end of the day, they're just like us. I do however feel nothing but contempt for anyone who knows the history of MK Dons and continues to support them anyway.

Maybe. Short term. Sometimes I think other things are more important. If it was just about winning I don't think we'd be Town fans would we?

And longer term I think it is in our interests.

If you are going, just don't spend more than you have to. And give the plastictwats hell (within the bounds of good and legal behaviour   ).

Quoted from Teesknees

What's to stop me having it on my laptop and plugging in an HDMI into it and watching it on my TV?

I will be doing the same thing through my chrome book but I found I had to mirror something to get it to work, anyone know why I would have to mirror it to get it to work?
As you can tell I'm not tech savvy.

Quoted from BraStrap

Arsenal once played in Woolwich so I refuse to go there  

You won't need to go there now ,it's been taken over by Barclays,hasn't it ?

  Our team has a tough away game tomorrow night, and I'm sure the players would appreciate all the support they can get. If I could be in Milton Keynes tomorrow, I would definitely be there. As it is, I'm in Atlanta, Georgia, so I won't be there! I will be watching on I-Follow though, but hold on , don't MK Dons get a cut of that revenue too? Oh no!

I appreciate the views of both sides of the spectrum. If you want to go and support GTFC, fine. If you don't on a point of principle, fine.

Personally, I visited Milton Keynes about 20 years ago and once was enough for me!

What's the situation with Kingstonian these days? Are they back playing in Kingston after being turfed out of their old ground the other year?

Quoted from marinernige

So if you wasn't working , you'd be going ?

Depends if I got a comp ticket or not, although I must admit going to The Hockey Stadium to witness Danny Boshell's rocket of a winner a few years back.

There are two sides of the argument which is fine by me but I think those advocating a boycott need to be a little more accepting of those that want to go.

I mostly agree with your post BUT kids born in MK who then follow them as a result? I started watching Town when I was 7 so any kids in MK that age would not have a clue why so many of us despise them.Also my anger and resentment is more directed at the FA and the League
