I assume therefore you would sympathise with the Wasps fans left without a club in the south east but you would feel it is okay for the locals in Coventry and Warwickshire to go along and support them as it gives them the chance to watch top flight rugby rather than to put up with the ‘Dog and...

As mentioned above. Franchising is wrong. It will only happen if the person responsible for moving the club thinks he will get people in the new location to go along and support the team that he has just dropped in. Wasps have no affiliation to this area. People haven’t grown up here being Wasps...

Having been to watch Nuneaton and also Tamworth quite a bit (both home and away) I can vouch for the level of passion and commitment these fans and the fans of their opponents have for their clubs. I still don’t understand why you need to be disparaging about clubs at this level. Ask random...

I was comparing a 145 year old rugby club to 131 year old football club. These were the two clubs ripped from their communities thus becoming franchise operations. You seem to be saying that because a town's own team is 'only' nonleague it is okay for another club to muscle in. I think it is a...

MK Dons had no affinity with Milton Keynes in exactly the same way that Wasps have no affinity to Coventry or Warwickshire. They were simply dropped into that area. If all those who go to see Wasps went to watch Cov then the chances are that are own rugby team would be back at the top. Perhaps...

As they are in a conurbation that would support a league club, why didn’t they have one? As far as I am aware there is a non league team still playing in MK. (Shades of Wasps moving in on CRFC) Why didn’t he take over the non- league team that already represented MK rather than ‘buy’ another...

Are you sure? There wasn’t much of a life before him.

It’s older than we are.

The point was made that: we had 10k for the Doncaster game at the Ricoh last season (we actually had 11k) so why would there have been more at the Ricoh this season? I was saying that just because we got that attendance last season, it doesn’t mean we would have got the same thiis, attendances...

Back to the same discussion we has before. You felt that if Saturday’s game had been held at the Ricoh we would have got 10k. I think we would have got at least 14k. Last season’s gate is really irrelevant.

Nothing to do with not making up their own mind. Simply saying that the victims of franchise MK turn up for games there,why shouldn’t anyone else?

So a manager who turned around a basket case of a League 1 team, got them promoted at the first time of asking (first promotion in fifty years, first top 6 finish in forty years), radically changed that promotion team and got us to 8th in the league above, radically changed that team and now has...

I am going to MK but totally disagree with you. I think Wasps and MK are very similar in that they were both forced to leave their own fans by rich business people. I think all fans should care about the state of the game and that would include the well being of other clubs. It is totally...

AFC Wimbledon always take plenty of fans there. If they don’t boycott then it is hard for the fans of other teams to feel they should. I think most fans would disagree with what went on and see MK as a franchise club. If they slid out of the league I think there would be few tears shed. However...

We have people on here who a few months ago would have paid for his taxi to Stoke. Lose a game or two and no doubt they will be back ticking, tocking and taxi-ing.

J Just looked it up. It was 11006.

As you asked the question I assume it was about 10k.That’s not really relevant anyway as both you and I know that attendances fluctuate from one season to another depending on how both teams are doing. I honestly think if we were at the Ricoh we would be pushing 14k now. Hyperthetical as neither...

No different to at the Ricoh. We have been behind in the last few games and there have been plenty of people moaning around where we sit. Every game, despite the fact that it is obviously the way we are going to play and that we have done well from it, there are moans about playing it out from...

Why would it be down on last season?

It's as bad as calling WBA u21s 'a boys team'.
