He emailed me the other day toasting the reversal in City's fortunes and optimistic at his side's chances of getting back into the football league. Would be a brilliant achievement and story.
Unlike FC U***d I completely understand why the Wimbledon fans did what they did and wish them all the best

I know a few NFL teams have done it...The Raiders being probably the most hight profile in their move from LA to Oakland
Just imagine if this happened to City?
The fucking Chairman wouldn't get out alive!!

You mean from Oakland to LA and then back to Oakland again ;-)
They actually started out as Oakland Raiders, so in one sense they have come home.

But then I spotted AFC Wimbledon in 6th place on 7 points and thought what a wonderful story. Talk about fans been shit on from the greatest of heights, but they are coming back strong and I didn't realise they'd made it to the Blue Square Premier already.
I so hope they get promoted back into the football league this year. Double bonus if MK Dons went down. I'd love to see Wimbledon hammer MK Dons in a league match!
Good luck to them and their long suffering fans.

Planning on going to see them play a couple of times this season.....
