Is it time to give the whole MK Dons/franchise club thing a rest? I think it is.
I don’t agree with clubs being able to move like they did, I don’t agree with them being called ‘Dons’ or claiming any history of the old Wimbledon, and I think that if Milton Keynes wanted a football league club they should’ve gone about it in the same way as AFC Wimbledon have. But it has now been over 15 years since they were formed and a whole new generation of fans will have only ever known the MK Dons as they are now. Is it better for them, and other people from the area, to support their local side rather than support the likes Man City or Chelsea just because they're successful? I think it is. Is it fair for them to get abuse for supporting their local club because of the historical decisions of others? I say no.
I can agree with protests against the Football League/commission who sanctioned the move (and continue to make questionable decisions in other areas), I can agree with protests against the people who orchestrated the move, but when it comes to the fans, who would’ve had no involvement in the move, I think we should just give it a rest.
