It was a dive. No appeal from the player. Plus technically, Luton had an advantage anyway.

What would be the point in that?

At this moment in time they are moving up the leagues.

In Scotland they wouldn't get out of the 3rd division.

In Scotland, they'd probably end up in a Europe spot.

The funny thing is, Jelavic hasn't replied to it with a or anything which must mean it's actually a plausible scenario.

Good for them.

If it was MK dons vs wimbledon I reckon then AFC fans would go if it was at their ground. However if it was at stadium MK they would boycott it refuse to give money to franchise football.

how are they so good when they built from scratch? astounding

They were essentially a League One club, so that's played a big role.

What are Wimbledon going to do in the next few years ground wise? They're current home at Kingstonian FC wouldn't be sustainable for league football in the long run as it isn't big enough. They could always buy the ground off Kingstonian and kick Kingstonian FC out and relocate there on a permanent basis

They've got three years to sort out a new ground apparently.

So they could:
a) Buy the ground off Kingstonian like you said and develop it.
b) Develop the ground alongside Kingstonian.
c) Groundshare with someone else with a bigger ground - Palace maybe?
d) Develop a new ground elsewhere.


Although, c, is extremely unlikely. I'd edge more towards the first two, as the rent for a ground share would probably be too high at the moment. They haven't really got a massive budget.

I'd imagine they'd start to look about building their own stadium. I doubt Kingstonian would want them around too long as they could lose new young potential fans to AFC Wimbledon.

Very expensive though. They've not got the budget to cover that yet. Would be very risky to get a loan on it as well.

isn't that how Wimbledon got into this mess in the first place?

You mean AFC Wimbledon or the old Wimbledon (now MK Dons)?

The old Dons shared Selhurst park with Palace.

Yeah they are. Lost in the play offs this season. Think it'll be their 3rd or 4th season in the Evo Stick Premier next season.
