Siobhain McDonagh, MP for Mitcham and Morden, has asked the House of Commons to back a campaign to get MK Dons to drop 'Dons' from their name.

Wiping away the tears, Ms McDonagh said: "I want the authorities to look at the running sore of Franchise FC stealing our name."

A shite franchise club they may be, but what a pointless waste of everyone's time. They can call themselves what they like.

[Mozzamozza]

f**k the Dons.

Well, not all of them obviously.

[McKee]

So is it still mandatory to hate MK Dons then?

[CityDave]

Surprised no one has tried that one with us.

Why bring this up in Parliament? And before anyone attacks me, no I do not support MK Dons and I look out for AFC Wimbledon's scores, I just find it a grand waste of time to bring it up in Parliament.

[welshbairn]

Of course they should change the name, thieving cnuts... Sign the petition here!

Presumably to scramble for relevance. Ridiculous to treat it as a parliamentary issue, even if I agree with what she's saying.

no more irrelevant than you you asking the same thing about mkdons;both teams were formed over the corpses of perfectly good teams.lets get airdrie utd into the mix while we're at it

FTR, MK Dons will be twice the club Wimbledon ever where, 800 fans for a match in Division 1 - good riddence to a club who were most notable for fielding a gang of thugs. If MKD don't want to change their name they shouldn't have to.

I've never understood why its MK Dons that get all the flack for this - the previous Wimbledon had years to find and build a stadium and yet never did, surely the bile would be better directed at those running the club at the time and the FA who allowed the club to be moved?

[pub car king]

as far as i am aware it was wimbledon council who kept refusing planning permission at various sites that forced them to move in with palace.

Quite apart from the obvious fishing trip, ICT's formation cannot be compared to MK Dons's. All but a few cave dwellers have accepted that the amalgamation of Caledonian and Inverness Thistle was necessary for the club to be accepted into the league. Remember at the time that Highland based clubs had been overlooked for decades for admittance to the SFL, there was a distinct possiblity it may have happened again in 94. Wimbledon were re-located to a completely different city which caused a lot of hostility. Totally different scenarios.

They bought the name of the club so they could cheat their way into the English Football League without fighting through the pyramid like anyone else. Now that there's talk of AFC Wimbledon moving back to the area, they should expunge that shameful episode from their history by removing Dons from their name for good.

I'm surprised MK haven't dropped the 'Dons' especially with a new Wimbledon club formed and in the FL. They handed all the memoirs the club had inherited from the old club such as memorabilia.
I can remember the mid-80s crazy gang, not a nice a bunch. Saw them on a few occasions in the flesh and they were just a bunch of assasins.
Still a hell of a lot of bitterness from the Wimbledon end towards MK. The current Wimbledon goalkeeper (who supported the old club) was absolutely getting stuck into MK on last week's London Late Kick-Off show. Sounds like there could be carnage when they inevitably meet.

The irony of this coming from a Caley fan is too much.

Highland Cowden is right, Thistle should have been dropped from ICT years ago.

Would MK Dons be even close to where they are if they didnt get a free ticket into the football league? Every other club has to work it's way through the league. they earned a right to be where they are,


MK Dons can GTF, same goes with Airdrie United


EDIT: Peter Winkelman is a slimy c**t also

Ayr United did the same as ICT to try and avoid their extreme diddiness a century ago, time has covered it up quite well.

I don't really see the mass hysteria. I dare this happened century or so to form the teams we all love.

At the end of the day, Wimbledon were fucked. I'd direct my anger to them if I were a fan.

[paisleysaints]

I seen abit of this on sky sports news the otherday not sure if it was some offical of AFC Wimbeldon saying he would rather they never meet and that they by pass each other in the leagues and MK go bust it was quite funny
