After last nights 4-3 extra time win against York City in the FA Cup, sponsored by Budsheister though, I feel the need.
This morning, the BBC reported that AFC Wimbledon will face their 'fierce rivals' M***** K***** should the club stealing bastards win their replay against Cambridge City. Umm....fierce rivals suggests that you want to play that team, that there is a local rivalry, a mutual respect, no matter how slight.
No. Our club was stolen from us, ripped away, Elvis had left the building.
I don't personally know any AFC Wimbledon fan that would want to travel to M***** K***** and back again to watch a football match. My opinion is 'complicated' so bear with me. Whilst I want to support AFC Wimbledon and travel where ever they play, there's a validation issue that needs to be addressed.
The aforementioned 'club stealing bastards' should not have a football league place, they should not be validated or recognised in any way shape or form, any AFC Wimbledon fan planning to go to M***** K***** should remember this and think very carefully about what they are doing and what sort of club they think they support. If you spend money on travelling to the game in M***** K*****, money on the ticket to get into the game, and food or drink bought at the game, you've instantly validated a team that should not exist, a team, in all Wimbledon fans opinions, that is 'not in the wider interests of football' to borrow a phrase from that idiotic three man committee.
I will never to to M***** K*****, should the team have to travel there I hope AFC Wimbledon open their bars on the Saturday or Sunday so that we can all come together and watch the game(which is bound to be on telly, given the interest) at our club, spending our hard earned cash in our club, generating income for our club. I hope, should that game come to fruition, that my Dons can overcome the club stealing bastards and, as we did in May 2011 with our play-off win, start putting some well needed ointment on wounds that will never truly heal(until that is, MK **** hopefully go out of business).
We could all be completely over reacting, after all tonight's replay between the club stealing bastards and Cambridge City could end in a Cambridge City win and we could all have a jolly old jaunt up to Cambridge on the first weekend in December. It is the FA Cup after all and every Dons fan knows exactly what can happen in the FA Cup, even if it is sponsored by ButtCrackBeer!
