If Milton Keynes beat Cambridge City at home and Wimbledon beat York City in their respective 1st round replays, they will face off against each other for the first time before the original Wimbledon relocated to MK Dons.
Heard some differing opinions on this from both sets of fans. AFC Wimbledon certainly don't feel comfortable with the idea.
Your thoughts?

It's a shame how even the fans look at the money side of things these days.
Net gate receipts shall be divided as follows:
(i) In matches prior to the Third Round of the Competition Proper (other than replayed
matches in the Competition Proper), the net gate receipts of each match shall be
divided equally between the competing Clubs.
(ii) In replayed matches in the Competition Proper prior to the Third Round, 5% of the net
gate receipts shall be remitted to The Association and the balance shall be divided
equally between the competing Clubs.
(iii) In matches played in the Third, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Rounds of the Competition
Proper, the net gate receipts of each match shall be divided as follows:
45% to each Club competing in the match.
10% to the Pool.

(c) “The Pool” shall be a fund held by The Association which shall be divided at the completion
of the Competition between the FA Premier League and the Football League for onward
distribution to the Clubs in the FA Premier League and the Football League which
participated in the Competition. The 5% payment to The Association for replayed matches

10% to the Pool (save where both Clubs are outside the FA Premier League or the Football
League).

involving Clubs outside the FA Premier League or The Football League, the net gate
receipts of each match shall be divided as follows:

37.5% to FA Premier League or Football League Clubs.
10% to the Pool (save where both Clubs are outside The FA Premier League or The
Football League).
5% to The Association.
It obviously is but i think they'd be mad to withdraw, turn down gate receipts from a probable sell out plus however much they'd get for it being live on tv. AFC seem to have stood still over the past few months, they're not that far off dropping back to the conference. A few 100k could kick them on again.
Much better for the fans to go to the game, roar your team on and come back talking about a famous victory.
the question is.............how far do you have to move before the fans object ??? 5 miles ?? 10 miles ?? out of the borough ?? out of the county ??
PS - MK Dons also only returned trophies etc because they felt they had to
and to answer Dan Davis............No, I wouldn't be happy, but that doesn't mean if TJ decided to re-locate us to Newbury and rename us The New Addicks I would stop supporting us - I would do what we did in 1985 and fight against it.
Everything about MK Dons disgraces me, they took Wimbledon's history, the kit, the players and even their own nickname but of course the fans came last on the priority list. Even Palace deserve to be in the football league than MK Dons and that took some effort for me to say that. I can remember slating the MK Dons on a facebook group and the fans just had no clue or feeling about Wimbledon at all, just full of plastics who claim MK Dons can't do no wrong.
I don't know how I would feel if I was a Wimbledon fan but I would love it soooo much when AFC Wimbledon go past MK Dons in the league and MK Dons go out of business. That's how disgraced I feel about the way it got handled.
