The ground is still there and the pitch is a park for the flat owners.The Royal train sheds were converted into flats.The main stand is still intact
A friend of mine used to manage MK City. Seem to remember Wolverton FC was a seperate club (could be wrong). The ground has now been built on (ex British Rail coachworks site).
The obvious response is that if Wasps are still here in 10 or 11 years time, will it be okay for 15 year old Coventry or Warwickshire kids to go and watch them, see them as their club?You've made a lot of points about Wimbledon, Winkleman and the move being wrong which I have never denied and I agree it was all wrong.
However, they are there now, have been for 15 years, and my point all along has been about the fans. Do you think a 15 year old who has grown up in MK who has never been alive when Wimbledon FC existed should not go to watch his local football team? Who would you suggest he goes and watches instead?
Children growing up in MK want to go and watch their local side, their parents, probably Liverpool or United fans will take them. Do you think less of them for doing so?
Yes - there is a park there, so not all of it has gone. - I have walked by the flats a couple of times. They actually look quite good. Nice to see some built heritage preserved in this way.The ground is still there and the pitch is a park for the flat owners.The Royal train sheds were converted into flats.The main stand is still intact
People can do what they want, I don't have the right to say what's okay and what's not.The obvious response is that if Wasps are still here in 10 or 11 years time, will it be okay for 15 year old Coventry or Warwickshire kids to go and watch them, see them as their club?
So you don’t see anything wrong with people in Coventry and Warwickshire going to see Wasps?People can do what they want, I don't have the right to say what's okay and what's not.
You suggest that it is partly the fans fault that they have validated the move by going to watch. If 4000 (the capacity) people had gone to Wolverton Park to watch Mercedes-Benz FC every Sunday morning do you think Winkleman would have put his money into them instead of moving Wimbledon in?
I still don’t really understand your argument. You agree that it is wrong to take a club away from its own area and set it up somewhere else. However, you also seem to be saying that if that happens, it is still okay for the people of that town or area to go and support the franchise club?People can do what they want, I don't have the right to say what's okay and what's not.

Completely different situation when regarding fans, as we are. You seem confused, every situation judged on its own merits and circumstances, Wasps to Cov and Wimbledon to MK is very different circumstances, but for the simple minded who don't know what they're talking about its easier to lump it all in as the same.So you don’t see anything wrong with people in Coventry and Warwickshire going to see Wasps?
...Wimbledon is in London not Milton Keynes. Changing the name doesn't change the home.
...Remind me of the capacity of Dean Court
...Building work is about to start, you obviously have no idea what an obstructive council is capable of
It could be arguesd our club is on the way to oblivion. I assume you'd be happy if we

All the 'differences' he's come up with haven't been anyway. And then he talks about simple minded people who don't know what they're talking about...It's the same in.principle and it's wrong.
None of the above has anything to do with the fans, which we are talking about here. We both agree that moving Wimbledon to MK was wrong, thanks for your input though.It's the same in.principle and it's wrong.
If the situation is exactly the same, who is the Cov Rugby in the MK scenario?All the 'differences' he's come up with haven't been anyway. And then he talks about simple minded people who don't know what they're talking about...

And the fans are wrong to support them. As has been pointed out to you.
You know, in everything there are anal, trivial differences. It's the simple minded person who looks at the minutiae however.If the situation is exactly the same, who is the Cov Rugby in the MK scenario?
Who should the 200k odd population of MK support? In your opinion obviously
You don't have an answer?Not a team that was ripped from the heart of its community.

You're right there is a difference. CRFC haven't gone out of existence, blaming Wasps as they go.
You don't have an answer?
You don't have an answer?
Id love you to tell me the name of just one. This is what makes the scenario different to Wasp/CRFC.I did answer. They shouldn't support a team ripped from the heart of their community.
I'm sure there were teams in Milton Keynes they could support
My point exactly. You've summed up my views perfectly.Seems like an answer to me. Start from scratch like every other team. Surely, part of building a community spirit around a club comes from building from the bottom. They’ve cheated and they took away a club from its own community. Sure, not the fans fault, but most can see that’s not right.
Id love you to tell me the name of just one. This is what makes the scenario different to Wasp/CRFC.
If there had been a 145 year old football club embedded at the heart of the community, no matter what level, I would absolutely agree that the people of MK should follow them as opposed to franchise MK, however there just isn't. Which is why the two scenarios are different when concerning fans and who they "should" support.
Yep, Ill never be happy with it either.Like I said, you're entitled to your opinion but I disagree and I will never be ok with what happened to Wimbledon.
I gave the answer, but you're obviously too simple minded to understand it.You don't have an answer?
Yep, Ill never be happy with it either.
I think I've opened your eyes a little to the situation regarding the fans, which is good. Hope you have a lovely weekend and hopefully Ill see you at stadium MK in a few weeks
They should of supported the local teams not some club stealing cunts. Talking about cunts how you are you!You don't have an answer?
I've tickets in the away end mateYep, Ill never be happy with it either.

Seems to me that when some people are losing an argument they start to throw insults around.Completely different situation when regarding fans, as we are. You seem confused, every situation judged on its own merits and circumstances, Wasps to Cov and Wimbledon to MK is very different circumstances, but for the simple minded who don't know what they're talking about its easier to lump it all in as the same.
You're not quite the sage you think you are.
You've opened my eyes to nothing to be honest. You're not quite the sage you think you are.
And you definitely won't see me at MK as I never have and never will step foot in that stadium though I will be at Rotherham tomorrow to see us play a proper football club.
So if Coventry City are ripped out of there community and settle in another town do we stop supporting them and move on to Cov United, Sphinx or Alvis.
