If you can find ESPN's review of the games on Sunday, Nedum Onouha was on, and (as usual) spoke with great intelligence and fluency. Worth a watch if you have a spare 20mins.
 
Have to disagree with him on one part. Milton Keynes don't have any history, they tried to steal some but ended up having to give it back. They're not even a real club.
MKD didn't try to steal Wimbledon's history. The club moved to Milton Keynes and changed names. Once established they wanted nothing to do with their former location and were happy to hand back the history.
Follow the fans and AFCW are the descendants of Wimbledon FC, but follow the players, backroom staff and place in the Football League and MKD are the true descendants. - This is not a nice thing to admit, but it happens to be true. - The EFL should have been fucked over for allowing the move and the owners should have been hammered for engineering a position where a move out of London was inevitable.

A fair amount of blame attaches to the London Borough of Merton who didn't lift a finger to keep Wimbledon in the Borough. They groundshared with Palace for years, don't forget.

Very true, I think I saw us play them 3 times at Selhurst Park.
But WFC was going down the pan. Was a move to another location preferable to them sinking down the divisions to non-league. The EFL shat themselves rather than risk WFC going bump.

I'd imagine the costs of policing and cleanup after the games far outweighed the benefits of having Wimbledon Football club on their doorstep. The local council were probably glad to get rid.

But they are allowing AFCW to build a new ground very close to the old one on Plough Lane. So has there been a change of council or just a change of heart due to losing votes?
