Wimbledon have been given the go-ahead to move to Milton Keynes by an FA Commission.

The Dons have been sharing with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park for the last 10 years but the club insist that they can not surive without their own ground for much longer.

The fans have protested non-stop against the move to Milton Keynes and their preference to a move back to Plough Lane. Wimbledon chairman Charles Koppel insists that the only option is relocation 50 miles north in Milton Keynes

Many will now fear that this will give the go-ahead for club franchises where the club can be moved around the country with no restrictions.
