Sounds horrendous doesn’t it, competing in every game and punching above your weight in general._MrDick said:

Total right thing to do. You have to try and take any advantages you can get, why on earth would you give the away side 5/6/7k to help cheer their team on?Fanny Fanackapan said:DISRESPECT.
MK "giving" the Wycombe faithful just 2,000 tickets and putting them in 2 sections of the Upper with a vacant block of seats between them.
And it came back to bite them on the bum.
Hmmm. Thoughts, anyone ?6 -

I dislike MK on principle and I like Wycombe, but the way Sky deals with them took me very close to turning on them today. I've honestly never seen coverage like it. The whole match I swear the camera lingered on Joe Jacobson reacting to things more than the actual football. I get it, he's got lovely eyes, but the level of obsession they have with him is a bit weird. Then the extended coverage of their players celebrating, the constant talk of Ainsworth's guitar and his unbuttoned shirt, the interview with Akinfenwa even though he didn't actually play. I like all of these people, I like the team, I just find it really odd the way Sky treats them like they're a local pub team who have just won the Champions League rather than a League One team doing well in League One. They were in the Championship last season! I wonder how Wycombe fans feel about it, I think I'd feel quite condescended to.

Arsenal moved North of the ThamesGary Poole said:
Because the basis of football in this country is teams from specific places competing and moving up and down the leagues. That to me is a big part of what creates the atmosphere and passion in the sport. How could anyone genuinely support a team that might be from Wimbledon one year then transplanted to another part of the country. That goes against the beautiful game to me.Covered End said:

Come on MKD.
Coventry moved ground, then left & ground shared, then moved back again.
Derby moved ground
Boro moved ground
Leicester moved ground
Brighton move from Hove to Falmer Swansea moved up the hill.
Wrexham left the Racehorse ground
Need I go on. How far do you need to move for you not to be the same team...?? 5 miles ? 10 ??
You tell me. I am genuinely interested. As you know (because I label the point every time, MK Dons ARE Wimbledon. You can't change history, no matter how much the EFL want to please people.

Wycombe vs Wednesday or Sunderland will be such a contrast in clubs0

No they didn’t - still play there.golfaddick said:

He is a thoroughly nice chap, he even puts up with my brother and me ribbing him about his accent.Algarveaddick said:Most places where there are two teams in one area, one set of supporters is half decent and the others turds. Bristol seems to be all the latter (with the possible exception of AA's Neice's husband). Doing their best to get the game abandonded, especially as Northampton could have scored at any time.1 - Sponsored links:

There’s a difference between moving across town/city than moving 80 miles north to a totally different demographic. Surely you know that?golfaddick said:

If Charlton moved all their assets to Suffolk and called themselves Southwold Addicks, you telling me you’d still think they’re Charlton?8 -
None of those examples are even close to being similar. For a start the distances were no where near the same and secondly all of those clubs retained their identity. Wimbledon moved to a different part of the country changed name, changed colours and preserved nothing of who the club was. Winkleman was looking for any club he could do that with, not an owner already with a club trying to balance the books. The football authorities should have prevented it from happening.golfaddick said:

If someone bought Charlton decided they didn’t want to rent the Valley and moved the club to Whitehaven because there aren’t many clubs in that part of the world. Changed the names to Whitehaven Addicks and played in all white with a new badge are you ok with that?5 -
I'd imagine either Sunderland/Sheff Weds will ask for more tickets than the usual 50-50 split and probably take somewhere near 50k.killerandflash said:Wycombe vs Wednesday or Sunderland will be such a contrast in clubs
Wycombe i can't see taking more than 20k.0 -
I don't see why any Addick would want anyone other than our old friends and rivals Sunderland to go up? Even though I understand the thoughts about Wycombe's style, Wednesday's cheating and the entitled attitude of many of their fans would put them bottom of the list for me.Callumcafc said:Don't want Wycombe back in the Championship.
If I had to choose between the other two, I think I'd rather see Sunderland win than Sheff Wed. The Sunderland fans have done their time in this league, whereas Wednesday need a couple more seasons to really feel the effects of their points deduction.
But in priority order:
1. Sunderland
2. Sheff Wed
3. Wycombe4 -
Let's establish two very important facts:
The Pope is Catholic and the team that scores the most goals wins.(Bravo Sam)
Wycombe and MK Dons.
The "anti football" team is one game away from the Championship.
The side that loves to pass and pass are on the same points as Cafc come August.
In League 1 you need to mix and match and find the balance between route 1 and the ability to pass and move and keep possession well.
Plus the nous to know the state of the game and game management.
MK won 1-0 at the Valley in 20/21 and Fraser was the star turn and they passed for fun, Charlton chased shadows and 3 points achieved for the beautiful football.
Charlton win 1-0 at MK Dons in the return and the Plan A stayed just a Plan A for MK, and even with just minutes to go they passed and passed and It was easy to defend against.
To be able to mix and match and win football matches. Win Ugly, and also win with style, that has to be the aim. 20 passes and a beautiful goal or route one from the keeper and a striker lobs the on rushing goalie.

A good point though, they've been to Wembley a fair bit recently so that might affect numbers. Sheff Weds for sure will take a lot.3 -
I want those who are more likely to challenge next season to go up. Sunderland are always going to be top 6ish, as are Wednesday, they go can go makes it less competitive.7

This. Can’t see MK being competitive next season. Imagine the vultures will be swooping around their best players. The league doesn’t get any easier. It’s a league of badly managed championship clubs and over achieving league two clubs.BR7_addick said:I want those who are more likely to challenge next season to go up.

But then we will have Barnsley and Peterborough who will always be competitive at this level, and if we believe what he says then we can expect to see Derby's new owner spending a fair bit.BR7_addick said:I want those who are more likely to challenge next season to go up.

Spending a fair bit renting a ground?0

Barnsley, Peterborough and Derby are already down. My point is Wednesday and Sunderland are less likely to lose key personnel than Wycombe thus making them more likely to compete next season.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Why doesn't Winklemen just move the 'Dons' to Leeds? They'd probably get much bigger crowds and be a much more profitable franchise.

Anyone had a punt.
I’ve had Sheff Utd and Sunderland double. 7s.0 -
Sunderland to lose in the playoffs tonight. 1/1Its like printing money.1

Be a miracle is no-one manages to get sent off tonight. Pure violence so far
