Got to be financially punitive to be in such a small capacity stadium like MK. Doesn't sound very Levy-like but perhaps needs must...

Re: The Goat's latest offering, if we end up legitimising the MK Dons franchise scum by sharing a ground with them, then my support for Spurs will be put on hold until that arrangement has come to an end. Morally indefensible for me (I know not everyone will feel this way), and I will want nothing to do with Tottenham Hotspur whilst any such arrangement is in place. Neg away.

No, but do Jan and Kaboul have significantly more? And whilst Vlad may be noticeably quicker, I really don't want to see our CBs getting outjumped over half the time. He reminds me of Rocha.

Since when were meaningless pre-season kick-abouts an accurate indicator of performances in real football?


Our season was meaningless after Christmas, and Dawson was still pedestrian.

Go figure.

@Spurger King you seem to agree with this...?

I think you will find there will be a significant minority (and I accept it will likely be a minority) who do agree. MK Dons are a symbol of everything that is wrong with football, and a 'proper' football club (such as my beloved Spurs) should want as little to do with them as humanly possible IMO.

Do you need me to spell out the difference between 'agree' and 'like'?

Nothing wrong with having strong principles. I would never stop supporting Spurs, but I can certainly understand why someone might want to suspend their support whilst we're fraternising with a disgraceful 'football club'.

So if playing at Stadium MK for a season or two was the only possibility in order to get the stadium built, you'd still be against it.

You're essentially saying you'd prefer us not building a stadium than playing at Stadium MK.

Fair enough. I wasn't sure, hence it was a question (y)

If it came to it, then Yes. But that's a silly hypothetical question that doesn't reflect the real world: I might as well ask you whether you'd give Sol Campbell a beej every day for 2 years if it meant we could get the stadium built (my bet: you wouldn't) - it's not something that reflects all the other available options in the universe. There are 90 other clubs in the Football League who aren't MK Dons or Spurs who I would prefer Spurs to share a ground with: I'd sooner see us play at the KC Stadium in Hull (or even, God forbid, at the Emirates) than I would at the Stadium MK.

For anyone who has been to MK Dons' stadium you will all share the opinion that it is a complete shithole.
WHL isn't one of the nicest stadiums I've been to either... (well...that's probably one of the reasons we're building a new one anyway :D)
