| MK Dons vs Bristol Rovers
- 19th August |
In October 2002 The Gas Trust passed
a motion at its AGM stating that the Trust "condemns the decision
of the Football Association Commission to "support the effective
destruction of Wimbledon Football Club by allowing the move to Milton
Keynes."
The Trust also resolved to "Support a boycott of all away games involving
the current Wimbledon F.C. Ltd [now MK Dons] whether these be at Milton
Keynes or Selhurst Park or any other venue until such time as the plans are withdrawn."
Four years on, Rovers are facing their first trip to play MK Dons and we urge
fans not to travel to a club that is effectively a franchise and to continue
to demonstrate that football supporters are firmly against franchising of football. The
Gas Trust continues to support the boycott of games in Milton Keynes and hopes
that Rovers fans will join our board in staying away on the 19th August. |
