OVERVIEW & IDENTITY

The club behind the badge

Identity & place

What this club is really about

The approved move of Wimbledon FC caused lasting hurt and led opposing supporters to form AFC Wimbledon. Since 2004, MK Dons have also developed a local life of their own: the Cowshed, concrete-cow humour, academy players, Dean Lewington, Stadium MK and supporters making songs, flags and matchday habits. The relocation and those subsequent years both belong to the history.

Living identity

Why that identity still matters

MK supporters have created traditions under continued scrutiny of the club's origins. More than two decades of local support, players and football culture now sit alongside the unresolved objections to Wimbledon FC's move.
