MK Dons
Why hate MK Dons? The villain is Winkleman. The Dons have just as much of a right to exist as, say, FC United. It's very easy to adopt a moral stance and turn your nose up at clubs like the Dons, which I feel you have done - not that I'm trying to offend you.
I think that stigmatising a team just because it is going through a process of capitalism (the new boss of English football - let's face it, us fans do not matter any more) is very short sighted and irrational.
Kicking the Dons around is totally against the spirit of football. I am not suggesting that franchising is a good thing for football, but surely being mean to someone just because you don't like some part of his or her history is spiteful. (That said, without spite football would be a much cleaner, more boring game)

Lots of football fans fundementally disagree with the whole idea of franchisimg. Uprooting a club from it's traditional area, changing it's name, colours and moving it 70 miles to play in a hockey stadium for possible financial gain is something most football fans disagree with. I don't see why we should treat them like any other club, because they're not. They are English football's first franchise and they must fail, or it could happen to another club. 152.71.84.114 19:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Non-League Football
I would like to help the project of Non-League football by beginning on the first club stub on the list: A.F.C. Aldermaston. But the problem is that I can't find the team's official website or unofficial, so what things I have to do??

Sock Puppets
What is the course of action a user (with a long respected track record at Wikipedia) can take to prove he or she is not a sock puppet when they share an IP location with several contributors to Wikipedia? --Caponer 01:23, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
Pictures of Old Trafford
I have a picture of Old Trafford lying around. I saw you said you wanted some pictures of Old Trafford on the Manchester United talk page. The quality isn't too good, because the camera is crap,and it was raining that day (in Manchester, can you believe it?) so the visibility isn't the best, but it's a nice picture. You can see it [http://privat.bluezone.no/inga-matti/img/IMAG0020.JPG here]. I like the fact that there's a guy standing in the foreground, gives you an impression of how big the stadium actually is. It's yours to use as you wish.
On another note, i have a question for you. I too was (and still am) strongly opposed to the Glazer takeover, as well as other similar cases. I have been a Man Utd fan for all my life, but I have no geographic connection to the club (I'm Icelandic). Now, to the point. I was wondering how it was for you to leave the club you had been a fan of for so many years? Do you still follow Utd in the media, despite not going to matches? Or do you simple shrug off news of Utd winning (or losing) to Chelsea or Liverpool?
:Thanks for the picture. I'll have a look for places to use it. Would you mind if I uploaded it under a public domain licence?
:It was extremely difficult turning down my season ticket, but I just felt that I couldn't let someone take £300m out of United and pay it off for him. I thought the season would be awful, but FC United have done exactly what they were set up for - given United fans who felt they couldn't give the Glazers their money another team to watch. It would have been weird listening to United on the radio but I've had a match to go to most weekends so it's been alright. I was amazed how quickly FC grew on me and it feels like I've supported them all of my life, although I think that's quite unusual - plenty of FC fans go to both clubs or follow big United more closely than I now do.
:I still want United to win - loved it when we beat Liverpool, hated it when we lost to them, but it doesn't mean quite as much as it did when I was going. CTOAGN (talk) 15:00, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Go ahead and uploaded it under a public domain licence. Makes no difference to me. :)
Would you come back to "big Utd" if there would be a change in management (for the better obviously)? Hope you don't mind me asking these questions, but I'm just very curious about how local Mancunians feel about the changes. The media give you some idea, but it's always better to get it from the source, if you know what I mean.
Long time!
Great to see you back :) -Aabha (talk) 06:43, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
