Obviously you'd assume MK Dons would go through as they'll be at home in the return leg (though I have to say Cambridge City were a credit to themselves in the first leg). AFC Wimbledon have been struggling in the league but will be at home in the return leg so you never know.Originally Posted by culloty82

The FA Cup is one-legged.

I shouldn't have said return leg, I meant replay (though I'm not sure first leg and return leg would technically be incorrect even in this case)

They would have been. Replay is pretty much the only word to use.
Anyway either way I imagine fate won't allow it to happen until they eventually meet in the league.

Former Harps player Shaun Williams has hit a 40 yard effort to make this a real possibility. I could see a possibility of AFC Wimbledon not playing the game even if a League game is likely down the line. Too lucrative for AFC Wimbledon to turn down but I could see them been supported and respected. They certainly do not want to face MK Dons. Went to a game at Stadium MK once. A souless place and a souless club.
AFC Wimbledon fans so divided on this. Support the club or not legitimise MK Dons. Either way playing them legitimises their existence. This meeting nearly happened in the same competition 2 seasons ago. I remember been aware of it.

Yeah that's what started this thread in the first place.
Well at the moment it's gonna happen as MK won 6-1 against Cambridge.

hopefully it happens would be a good game to watch assuming espn cover it
Interesting to see Neil Sullivan has gone to AFC Wimbledon on loan. I know Marcus Gayle and Jermaine Darlington played for both incarnations of the club, not sure if he is the third or not. He's not cup-tied so could be eligible to face MK Dons.

I agree but there's a lot of unhappy Wimbledon fans out there who don't want to play MK and feel it legitimizes what the FA did and they would rather not play the game.
Should be a belter of a game though.

Far as I know, it'll be on UTV, Sunday December 2nd, at 12.30.
i didnt understand the full story in my original post, now that i have looked it up i understand why wimbledon fans dont want it.. but if i was an AFC fan id be well up for it

The comments at the bottom of the article are priceless. Gobs.
Excepting the first one of course.

I never got the whole AFC thing and have grown even more tired of their worn out rhetoric over the years. They (the fans) didn't own the club and from what I remember they were getting damn all through the gates even in good times. It's great that a new club sprung up in the old borough, but this is just tedious. Build a bridgefolks and cross it to feck!
Well the background to it is slightly more nuanced than that. They are getting big crowds for League Two and they will probably hover in and around that should they get promoted. Wimbledon were a club who managed to get bigger than their supposed "level" unfortunately for them they had a very static suppport that really had no way to go. Towards the end of the period in the Premiership and the announcement of the move to MK this support further dwindled as the club became no more than a name on a league table.
AFC were founded on the basis that the original Wimbledon had had their position in the league "sold" to MK and that they should try and keep the idea of the club alive.
I think anyone with even a vague interest in Irish football should have a positive interest in this endeavour given the perilous status of Irish clubs at any given time.
I hope they whip MK.

Fairly scrappy, cheeky last-minute winner for MK Dons. Wimbledon had a great chance just moments before. Still a great performance from Wimbledon, though that's probably not much consolation.
was a good game to watch.. wimbledon defended well i thought and were very unlucky with that chance near the end.. yeah very fortunate goal for the winner.. a replay would of been good but ah well
With League Two's penultimate results in, Wimbledon have become fully dragged into the relegation mire after seemingly escaping a month ago:
18. Torquay 45 52
19. Plymouth 45 52
20. York 45 52
21. Dag & Red 45 51
22. Barnet 45 51
23. Wimbledon 45 50
24. Aldershot 45 48
Realistically, only a win will save them, and that only if Dagenham fail to beat York.
