Well done to AFC Wimbledon for staying up. Wombles of Wimbledon go on. Great for the club and the fans, Swindon fan.

Yeah, we'll done "loyal" Wimbledon fans who deserted their old club when the going got tough. Where were they at Smellhurst? Koppel didn't kill WFC, the lack of support did.

Dude, what's with that MASSIVE chip on your shoulder?

The guy's just celebrating his club escaping relegation.

It was a Swindon fan who posted originally and my "chip" is that AFC switched off the life support of WFC and effectively left them to die, yet they were the ones who put them on life support in the first place through lack of attendance. They are the lowest of the low. And they have the cheek to complain about MK Dons, it was their own fault the club got moved! If they cared so much, why were crowds so pitiful when they had their "precious" Wbledon? Bunch of hypocritical morons!

When teams do bad, attendances drop, get over it. In London there is huge competeition for fans due to the sheer number of professional clubs around (including several long standing premier league clubs). As a result Wimbledon, in their old form, didn't have many fans in the first place (They regularly couldn't fill their borrowed stadiums). Once results stared to go bad and promises of a stadium of their own were broken again then fans stoped going. This happens and/or would happen at every club in the world. Of course there are some loyal fans who will go no matter what and there were in Wimbledon's case. But, as I have already stated, their support was low to begin with due to the sheer number of other professional clubs around them. AFC Wimbledon wil experience this same problem if they begin to climb the leagues.

tl:dr? Shut up complaining.

I also apologise for not noticing it was a Swindon fan who made the origioal post. Good to know some fans have humility unlike the spiteful club's fans that you obviously belong to.

"AFC Wimbledon wil experience this same problem if they begin to climb the leagues. "

If there is a football God, I hope he doesn't let the AFC urchins climb the leagues. I'm still sick they stayed up and poor old Barnet went down. And no, I'm not a Barnet fan.

^That's football. I'm still sick over Leeds United's desperate season, but that's football.

What has happend to Vegard Forren. Southampton only made one signing in jan and it seemed they beat Fulham, Everton and possibly man united to get his signature. sense he signed he hasn't even made the squad. At 4.2 million he wasn't cheap.

Any ideas.
