With five wins from their first seven games in the Conference, will this be the year that the club, refounded by its fans after the original was stolen by big money, makes it into the Football League?

Also, Smeltzy used to play for them.Doloras2010-09-08 13:10:08

It is my dearest, fondest wish that this season, MK get relegated and the real Dons get promoted, so we can have a DERBY OF PURE HATE next season.

4-0 over cellar-dwellers Bath City. Still top of the Conference.

Interesting reading on the AFCW website that their stadium has segregated burger bars for visiting teams. I'm kind of glad that we don't need to go that far in NZ football.

AFC Wimbledon finish the conference in second place. Playoff against Fleetwood Town, and then either Wrexham or Luton Town for promotion. GO THE WMBLES.

AFC Wimbledon vs Luton Town at Eastlands (Man City's stadium), 21 May, for promotion to the League. Two teams with proud League histories and every right to feel aggrieved at being down at this level. There can be only one.

Good article in the Guardian on what's at stake. It's good to see that - apart from a few numpties - the pre-match Dons/Hatters banter is friendly and mutually respectful, along the lines of "screw the FA, we should both be going up".

Just when you think English football is totally rotten and money dominated, along comes the Dons to put a smile on everyone's face.  Great story.  League football in New Malden.  WTF? Jose's Dog2011-05-22 11:40:53

Almost happened in the FA Cup this year, but MK got knocked out by Stevenage who then went on to knock out AFCW. ACFW supporters seem to regard the idea of having to play MK with absolutely horror, and would prefer that MK go down and AFCW go up next year to avoid that possibility.

Honest I did... But it was just the highlights as I said. In saying that I would LOVE the Wombles to be mid table at the end of the year. Couldn't ask for anything more.

... and we're back. Torquay 1 - 1 AFCW on the first day of League 2 competition. Will the Wombles get a respectable mid-table finish this year? Are the defensive nightmares of last season in the past? Will we have to play the freakin' Franchise again in one of the Cups?!?

Well, AFC Wimbledon did play the Franchise, in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy (for Leagues 1 and 2) teams. AND WE BEAT THE SCUM :D :D :D

Some Dons fans refused to attend the game or even to celebrate the win because it acknowledges the Franchise's right to exist. But that's kind of dead-endish at this stage. This seems to be settling into a (more intense than usual, but still) commonplace interclub rivalry.

Wombles 7th in League Two - in a playoff spot - with four games left to go, 4 points clear with a game in hand. Interestingly enough, Portsmouth are 6th, and they were an EPL team within recent memory.

Of course, if we do go up, then we'll be most likely faced with the Franchise, aka the Fake Dons, aka the Mutant Cods, who are going down from the  Championship. There will be violence, boycotts, mass hysteria, cats and dogs living together, 40 years of darkness, etc.

You know this, I know this, an independent commission disagreed 14 years ago.

But AFCW make the playoffs :)

If the real Dons make it, I wonder what the atmosphere would be like during these two games.

The three times AFCW and the Franchise have faced each other in various knockout cups (match reports 1, 2, 3 - the last one we won!), apparently the Real Dons fans have been raucous but well behaved and generally taken the high road against the hundred or so sad sacks who go to Franchise games. This after serious debate over whether AFCW fans should boycott such games because we refuse to recognize the Franchise - so maybe it will evolve over time into a "normal" rivalry.
