Milton Keynes rallying call :-) Shame

Eeeerrm. I know fans from nearly all the pro clubs and no, most don't.

 

They know that pompey call us it but to 99.99% we are simply Saints.

 

I have heard fans from a lot of the London clubs call us Scummers. Plus the other clubs along the South Coast. Fans pick up on nicknames and use it. I guess it is the next step from fans singing "Play up P*mpey" trying to wind us up, or such things as our fans singing "Bubbles" at Millwall. Which I still cringe about.

Indeed.

 

"You're just a small town in "

 

Don't forget we now have the perfect antidote to fans of other clubs adopting the "scummer" tag. Just talk to them as if they are Pompey fans, commiserate about the poor state of their team etc. etc. When they refute being Pompey fans just ignore them and continue referring to them as such as if you didn't hear them.

 

They'll soon stop using the term "scummers" for fear of being associated with that complete laughing stock of a club.

Franchise FC and franchise fans, sums up the MK Dons.

 

They somehow managed to find 35,000 fans for their last visit to Wembley in the JPT final, yet can barely manage 5,000 for the home leg of the area final, so what's happened to the rest of them?

 

However if you read the JPT website there our some of their fans on it interviewed after the first leg that were complaining that they coudn't get a ticket for the final last time as the club only asked for 35,000 tickets, again where did they come from, and how can they think that they merit that many tickets when their average attendance is less than 10,000?

its not meaningless, it's fairly insignificant though.

 

I am not excited about winning it - more at this stage about seeing Saints play at Wemberly

 

I think that a lot of us feel like that. we could have died 7 months ago or so and we now have a chance to tread the heights of Wembley. Bring it on.

The best outcome for everybody in the final is saints v Leeds anybody else involved will just downgrade the competition further.....mk dons are nothing,they are not even worth mentioning,they have no history,no fans and passion the league should hold their heads in shame that they allowed the 'mk dons' thing to happen....they should be wiped from the earth and real Wimbledon should take their place.

I do think it's funny how genuinely excited people are that we could win the JPT. It's meaningless really but we are starved of success!

 

I've had the chance to go to Wembley more than once over the last couple of years - mainly to see England play but I have refused due to the fact that it wouldn't be for my team. I have always said I will only go to Wembley to watch Saints - never thought it would happen so quick (fingers crossed). So for me its not a case of being starved of success (as that is relative) its a case of seeing my team walk out at the (new) home of football.

'lets stick it right up those dog rough , minging , wino's that parade as fans and give that smug bast*rd of a manager a night he wont forget .

lets get a thousand down there and lets get right behind them . the way things are at present this could be our biggest game of the season .'

 

What very very little respect I did have for them has gone after reading this.

I think it stands to reason that MK Dons support is pretty crap.

 

Think about it; prior to their being 'created' from the ashes of Wimbledon, most football fans living in Milton Keynes would have been supporters of other clubs. Northampton is just up the road, places like Luton and Coventry are not far. I imagine also that lots of people used the fact that their home town had no league team (if an excuse were needed) to jump on the Man Utd/Liverpool/Chelsea glory-hunting bandwagons.

 

These people aren't just going to stop supporting their teams just because a new one has started in their town. It is going to take a couple of generations at least for them to build up a hardcore fan base. In the mean time their stadium is going to be (partially) filled mainly by bored residents of Milton Keynes with nothing better to do on a saturday afternoon.

 

And anybody who has ever been to Milton Keynes, god-awful, soulless, depressing, 'middle-england' suburban hell-hole that it is, will probably agree with me that there genuinely isn't anything better to do there.

I can't believe we have so many fans saying "I'm not really fussed about winning it, a trip to Wembley is all that matters" etc. FFS, if you're in a competition then fookin well win it. I'd be gutted if we lost the Final (if we get there)

I just want to say what a disgrace to football MK Dons fans only 300 tickets sold that is ridculous kick them out FA bring back AFC Wimbeldon!!!!!

 

But the FA will tell you that they are a club with excellent footballing tradition and support. Hence the need to fund a ground expansion to give them a 40,000 capacity world cup stadium in 2018. :rolleyes:

 

............ Why do the authorities of football lack all forms of sense.
