Just so I can get a snapshot of the feeling about this Bubble situation there is a poll to gauge the mood.
I will then propose we hold an online vote on the MKDSA Pages.
Please vote.
Thanks.

I voted: Bubble for both sets of fans.

If we need a bubble to protect us from their morons whenever we visit the home of Chelsea Ladies (we do - unlike every other team we play, their morons can't be trusted), then we need a bubble to protect us from their morons whenever they visit the home of the Dons (we do - unlike every other team we play, their morons can't be trusted).


Whatever the future arrangements, 8000+ Dons fans should never again be endangered and/or inconvenienced by 500 or so away customers in the Boycott End.

To be fair it has to be both or none. I prefer both.

I voted for just the game at Kingston.

It is the ground that is the problem at their place as anyone who has been there can testify. You'd be mad to think there wouldn't be isolated incidents of real trouble in that infrastructure with Dons fans arriving at different times. To suggest they must have a bubble when coming to a proper football stadium ( 8-) ) seems like a tit for tat view based on being 'locked in' on Saturday. There will no doubt be other ways of dealing with the 'lock in' situation via sensible, pragmatic planning (which are no doubt being looked at as we write/read).

Pretty much sums up my views perfectly

To be fair, I'd say it's there minority of idiots that are the problem, not the ground.

I've gone for no change - we should be able to manage their support appropriately, particularly given lessons learned this time round

I do have a lingering concern that in the event of future antics up here we may need to revert to bubbling them, and really don't want anyone to have to go through the experience that forces such a change, but at the moment I don't want us to be dragged down to that level

It isn’t us being dragged down surely? These measures are due to their rabel.
