Milton ****s would never have that. Proper new ground there.

Not that **** Wimbledon had

Reviving old beef with @brb <whistle><whistle>

Went to AFC to tick the ground off a year or so ago. Great set-up they’ve got there now. The MK ground is awful. A massive bowl about 25% full in the league they’re in now. They have actual adults supporting them too which I just find odd. Hopefully they’ll die (the club, not the adults who will inevitably die anyway).
 
It was so easy before the PL, Leicester one of the clubs founded at the start were not able to manage it <cheers>

Didn't say it was easy ... certainly not so post war ... but nothing like as difficult as it has been since the establishment of the Premier League ... but thanks for your contribution, anyway <cheers>

I worked in Milton Keynes in the 90s - they had a football team MK Borough in the South Midlands League (which I was also playing in) - MKB was the basis for MK Dons - would have been much better to have just carried on - the population was growing rapidly due to London overspill and some excellent Housing incentives - MKB were already a growing force in the South Mids and attracting some good players due to the money behind them - but the Wimbledon 'opportunity' gave them 'fast track' and greed won out ... shame really.

Exactly. That fat **** Winkleman could have built up a local non-league team.
 
51 teams have taken part in the Premier League since its' inception. In 32 years there have only been 7 winners ... stats speak for themselves... especially when you think that a club like Liverpool with all of it's historic success, wealth, commercial income and worldwide fanbase have only managed it once ... <ok>

7 teams in 32 years is more variety than 23 different teams in 135 years. That suggests the Premiership is actually easier.
 
I know it’s the 4th division but Doncaster look good here against Crewe. I’m enjoying this.
