Better than MK fucking Dons. I hate the fact we took the Dons name. Didn't even keep the fucking kit colour so why the Dons bit.
Never liked it. I think it just stokes the fires.
You've been on forums for years, and yet this is only coming out now!?!?
I have said it all along. It is the only tenuous link to Wimbledon and why? the Dons part is crap always has been always will be.
It's a contentious issue and we all have our opinions, and they are all informed, long-held opinions so I can't see anyone changing their minds based on any posts here. But, as we are all entitled to voice our opinion I'll just say that I personally don't want us to drop the Dons part of our name at any point. Football is about history as well as the present and future, We
are the old Wimbledon FC and I think we should continue to reflect that in our name. I think it's a perfect name as it reflects both the past and present within three words and I don't see why we should be forced to change it.
If I said another reason not to change it would be so as not to give in to AFC, some people would probably argue that we shouldn't take them into consideration and should just move on. But the main reason you give for dropping it is that it "stokes the fire", i.e. we should change our name so as to stop "antagonizing" them. But sod 'em. That's not moving on, that's just giving in to them. As far as I can see, the
only reason we would be changing our name would be to suit
them. It's our name. We've won trophies and promotions with it. Other teams don't just change their name every 15 years. They respect tradition. So should we. It's a complicated past, but it's still
our past.
We should stay as the Dons, and even if we sell to Red Bull or someone else and change our name for that reason, the Dons part should still be included.
COYD, not COYMK.
You really need to stop posting such sensible stuff. Try posting ill-thought out, emotion-fuelled bilge like the rest of us please. Get with the program FFS.
