? I was actually serious on both points Milton Keynes lost the right to use “Dons” the minute they moved from Wimbledon against their supporters wishes. Their “history “ started then .

Nowhere in the name Milton Keynes do the the three letters DON appear so there is no need for them to have dons at all. They are cheapskate con artists who somehow fooled the Footballing authorities into allowing them to do what they did.
And never forget that I witnessed their loathsome owner wind down his car window and call Gay Meadow a dump. Not a rumour, a fact, I was there.

I thought the National Hockey stadium was a dump in 2007 but it gave me the best ever feeling as a Town fan in that play off semi final. Being on the front row just by the goals made it even better.

Leaving them to contact the Railway company to cancel the five special trains they had booked to Wembley!

Lovely to see the cameras focus on Fry and Ferguson at the end. Two of the biggest gobs**tes in lower league football, lost for words.

So good to hear their announcement for arrangements for trains to Wembley at half time, then stick it up them a few minutes later at the start of the second half. Plus of course Hey Jude......

One of my best times as a fan. Yes I did think it was a tad hypocritical to call us a dump when they played at the hockey stadium.

Well they needed us to provide a decent rendition of Hey Jude because that wench “singing” to us a half time reminded me of Eric Morecambe on the piano - she was warbling all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order.🙉

Of course it was, but it demonstrates a distinct lack of class from an opposition Chairman to open his car window and point it out.

Indeed. It may have been a dump but it was our dump and none of his business.

Into extra time in the Doncaster Crewe game, Richard Wood to score the next goal is 40/1 at the moment which seems worth a £1 bet for some odd reason

Great result for Crewe , I havent written mkd off at 3-0 down but Crewe , I almost never watched as I thought it was a forgone conclusion , Doncaster must be shellshocked , great result for us too as I fancied Doncaster to come up and be a decent side next season , we can usually handle Crewe

Both first legs today. Doncaster go in as the form team, and Mk Dons better over the season. Id fancy the final to be them 2. No new faces particularly for town, although has been quite a while since they played Crawley. Crewe continuing with youth policy with decent part of their squad from their youth team, but with a couple of ex town players - Tracey and Demetriou who has particularly chipped in with goals and assists from centre back. Who do people prefer for next season? My prediction of Mk Dons - Doncaster final looks a bit wide or the mark! Shows quite how much the play offs is a complete lottery.
