In terms of the impact on the English structure - agree, bad news for two teams at the foot of the ladder, but realistically you'd have two semi-professional clubs being replaced by two giants. Although it might be more fun for everyone else and become viable, it'd never be what it was. Last edited by on Sat Aug 04, 2018 5:02 am, edited 1 time in total. Thing is, we naturally and historically compare Scottish football to English football where as perhaps it needs comparing to other small European countries with similar populations and league turnovers. Eventually I expect them both to head south.

Imagine if they had moved there - a Tottenham Hotspur fan who claims a birth right to Spurs being born near White Hart Lane would now find their nearest birth club becomes Arsenal. Arsenal used to be based in Woolwich and were originally known as the Woolwich Arsenal. Afc can and should relish in every second of it, and games between the two should be as heated as the best derbies. Afc Wimbledon has overtaken them now. I see the positive the team have in Milton Keynes, Dele Aii and Sam Baldock for example have both came through their academy, Dele Ali in particular wouldn't have developed at a club that wasn't local.

They are definitely beneficial to Milton Keynes as an area. It'd be great for the old firm clubs, but bad for everyone else, especially the two teams who lose league places in England to them. The whole subject came up again when Tottenham Hotspur expressed an interest in the Olympic Stadium as that is in a different community. As for Rangers - should have come south into the English structure when they were demoted to the bottom of the pile in Scotland. Imagine how you'd feel about a club who took Derby County 65 miles up the M1 say, to Leeds?

. Absolutely, afc Wimbledon should bear a grudge that goes beyond any petty local rivalry. They have a great academy and many young fans. They could have said no. Both clubs are big now.

We never managed to get behind one team, so eventually they all failed. I disagree about it being the death of Proffesional football if the Old Firm move south, but I would, wouldnt I? I think the benefits of their inclusion would work both ways. Afc Wimbledon has overtaken them now. Do you think they're really fans in the same sense as other clubs with more of a history? Robbie mumbled something about how great the club was. May have picked up a few disinterested Luton and Northampton fans, bought into the Winkleman idea and lived local. It is a difficult one. Or is that a totally separate and dead club? However a lot of fans of other clubs might not accept them unless they drop down through non League and work their way up.

But they gave them all to afc Wimbledon a few years ago. If they do ever go to England, Scottish football will be officially dead. I agree they should drops Dons but whilst not suppoting or watching them I do believe their existance is positive to Milton Keynes Many of you will disagree but as I'm not a passionate fan I won't get involved in a debate, just putting a local view.

Pete told everyone that everything was great. Would any self-respecting Wimbledon fan change to the rebrand? Would be interesting to see their away figures. In fact, that just inspired me.

With success comes more money which brings success. Just seems like a massive missed opportunity to me as the Scottish leagues are never going to get any better than they are now. All is right with the world. Certainly won't be working as a franchise does in the states, which was the idea. Wasn't there meself, but going on previous versions. What Pete Winkleman did was probaly wrong but after 14 years people need to move on. Personally I think they should definitely drop the Dons from their name and the chairman should apologise to Wimbledon - this would help.

As it turns out, the two have swapped positions. In fact, that just inspired me. How would you go about supporting a club 11 years old fanatically? What a load of clap. No one mentioned the Hyde pitch fund initiative. I don't think they Rangers actively pursued the idea to any great degree when they discovered that they'd have to start way down the league structure. Being just outside London won't be easy for them.

Certainly won't be working as a franchise does in the states, which was the idea. They can go to a match there and unlike Luton, Watford or Northampton three local teams they defected from - they are in their own local area mixing with other locals. It'd be great for the old firm clubs, but bad for everyone else, especially the two teams who lose league places in England to them. Huddersfield had the good ground and got to the premier league, that should be our ambition. They should just let it go.

It is a difficult one. All is right with the world. Both clubs are big now. Imagine how you'd feel about a club who took Derby County 65 miles up the M1 say, to Leeds? If either made the Prem then I could see them becoming permanent fixtures. Every club started somewhere I guess, will take time and possibly a few generations before attendances increase and the club develops some kind of history. Just be glad that, by hook or by crook, they have a club in the football league. Also its a chicken and egg scenario.
