THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

https://www.efl.com/news/2017/september ... wimbledon/

For those that might not be able to access .
Prior to Friday evening’s Sky Bet League One fixture between AFC Wimbledon and Milton Keynes Dons, the EFL sought assurances from the home club that the game would be treated in a consistent and appropriate manner to any other taking place at the Cherry Red Records Stadium.

Any deviation from this needed to be with the agreement or understanding of Milton Keynes Dons.

This approach was taken following the actions of AFC Wimbledon at the corresponding fixture last season when the visiting club was not referred to by its full name of Milton Keynes Dons in a number of circumstances.

The EFL is more than aware of the issues around the creation of Milton Keynes Dons and the upset this caused for the then, Wimbledon FC.

The failure to recognise Milton Keynes Dons in the correct manner causes reputational issues for the EFL as well as creating the potential for unrest amongst MK Dons supporters and, as such, is of concern for the EFL.

Under new EFL regulations 3.4 and 3.5 all clubs are required to behave towards one another with the ‘utmost good faith’ and not to ‘unfairly criticise, disparage, belittle or discredit’ any other club.

Following reports regarding last night's fixture, it would appear that a similar situation has transpired and, as a result, the EFL Board will request the observations of AFC Wimbledon at the earliest possible opportunity.

If the club is charged with a breach of EFL regulations then the matter would be referred to a Disciplinary Commission.

Regulations 3.4 and 3.5 state:

3.4: in all matters and transactions relating to the league, each Club shall behave towards each other and the League with the utmost good faith.

3.5: no Club, either by itself, its servants or agents, shall by any means whatsoever unfairly criticise, disparage, belittle or discredit any other Club or the League or in either case any of its directors, officers, employees or agents.

Excellent.

Now let's hope they start to get the appropriate punishment for their inability or even desire to control their own fans.

The fact that they're not able to have opposition fans walk through the front gate safely is shameful.

Found this interesting. Basic gist is "how dare the EFL complain about us?"

I did laugh that they think we're petty for complaining. Not sure it was even us who made an official complaint.

Oh dear ...how unfair ...mwahahahaha

Well I found that extremely funny, they really are a sad bunch, and they hate being called AFC as well.

Not before time either! Childish and petty, our club has always risen above such behaviour.

This.

That club is run by immature imbeciles

I wouldn't hold your breath if you're expecting anything other than a 'ah, c'mon chaps, play the game' from the EFL. Would be nice to see at least a bit of a fine or maybe some community service from those that actually do own the club not the donors who pay for it.

The football world is finally getting fed up with them.

This was more than noticeable on the FB thread accompanying the release. The neutrals far out weighed the haters (to quote the kids).
