Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

MK can rot in hell. Although AFC kick the shit out of us every time they come here, so are hardly amongst my favourites either.

It's not as if the original Wimbledon were particularly pleasant either, so it's hardly surprising both bastard sons of that club have turned out to be unlikeable.

 

[GTFCfish]

Just having Harry Pell in their squad puts AFC Wimbledon level in the scum stakes with MK Dons.

 

[Son of Cod]

Personally don't like or dislike. They are very inoffensive, very beige, a bit nothing but if fans of other clubs (bar AFC Wimbledon) want to get all upset about them then go for it.

It's not about how offensive/inoffensive they are for me. I don't have an axe to grind with MK Dons fans. However, the manner in which the club was conceived is not something that should be brushed under the carpet. They stole a slot in the Football League via a means that has never occurred previously and will hopefully never occur again in English football. Disliking them as a club is a stand against that. As you say, everyone is welcome to their own thoughts and opinions on it though.

No-one liked Wimbledon much but what happened to them was disgraceful. Milton Keynes should have had to start at the bottom of the ladder.

Can see how an American football fan could see them as inoffensive.

Jesus fcuking wept. The holier than thou of a fucking club that got bought buy the media. A club that struggled to get 4000 through the gates until they became a media circus. You're no better than us pal, just more arrogant.

Keep telling yourself that.

Most recognise that we're a club that's been through hard times and whose supporters are now enjoying some good times at their football club after 2 decades of nothing but shite.

Being bought out by wealthy owners (who are far more ethical than your Saudis) isn't the same as stealing a place in the football pyramid, but whatever helps you sleep at night.

Not sire it's been brushed under the carpet. 20 years on its still talked about, mentioned and causes upset. I disagreed and did not like the actions taken by the authorities two decades ago but as a club now I just can't get upset by them or anyone's opinions either way.

Do the thousands and thousands of new fans recognise the hard times the club went through? I don't it because they sure as hell weren't regulars.

I find it strange that people can take the p!ss out of a team (MKs in this instance) support when their own club used to fail to get 3000 in attendance on a regular basis.

It's all a bit of fun, surprised it's wound some up so much. Very protective.

We can definitely appreciate our attendances were a lot lower when we were shit (talking nothing seasons in the National League). Away followings to our place were also a lot lower then. That being said, you can bet we'd take more than 600 for a 90 minute trip.

 

[F!RTHY]

What’s the full allocation at Accrington these days - we’ve only been given 2,038!

Thought it was nearer 2,700.

Yeah agreed but you can also bet that MK are very unlikely to average under 3000 at home when in the football league.

Like you say it's all a bit of fun , can't take it seriously.

 

[Crewelad87]

Sold over 900 of our initial allocation of 1000 for Notts County this weekend. Might be around 1500 travelling in total come Saturday.

As I said a few weeks ago, it's odd how poorly we travel to Mansfield (similar distance) but since sold out Stockport in midweek, and then over 1k to both Tranmere and Notts, yet only 400 odd bothered going Mansfield.

Crewe to Notts is as easy as 1-2-3 by train. Surprised there wouldn't be more, given your upturn in results lately.

 

[Crewelad87]

Sold out the 1000 that have been sent.

Notts sending us 375 more, I think they will probably sell out pretty quickly aswell.

[Pilot_Phonic]

Some have said we're taking around 2,500 to MK tomorrow. I highly doubt that but I'd say around half that would be not too far off.

Dunno why clubs insist on being sent tickets to sell themselves unless it's the ones who'll sell out - just let us do it through our website and e-tickets, easier for everyone.

Would make much more sense, than these initial allocations we keep getting for away days, then having to wait for more tickets to sent or then not being able to buy until you can pay on the day, which inevitably costs more.

As that's all is going to happen here, we will sell the 375 tickets, but there won't be time to send more so the rest will have to pay the extra £2 on the day.

How come the MK Dons average hasn’t moved from the 450 last week when we took nearly 700 to Swindon last weekend?

 

[Meadow]

I’m not sure about Meadow, I think she’s a bit on the fence with them.

I'm not on the fence, I hate that club as do most former Wimbledon supporters, many of whom support AFC Wimbledon, some who walked away altogether, a few who got season tickets at other Prem clubs* . Then there are a tiny minority who believed Winkleman's lies and went to MK.

*I know of a couple that couldn't bare to follow the club to MK so got season tickets for Crystal Palace instead.

As a midweek up date was not posted MK Don also had a 196 in midweek and a 697 on Saturday which overall still averaged 450.

 

[Conker]

Bit confused why our following at Walsall was a couple of hundred below tickets sold.

Reports are saying that tickets weren’t scanned as crowds were building up outside the turnstiles and ticket holders let through an exit gate.
