Background
Technically, MK Dons are Wimbledon FC under a new name. Most Wimbledon fans and neutral observers, however, consider that the Milton Keynes club is effectively a new entity.
In September 2003, Wimbledon moved into the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes, despite having gone into administration, owing over £20m. Six months later a local consortium led by pop music entrepeneur Peter Winkleman bought the club and saved it from liquidation. Stranded at the bottom of Nationwide Division One, the decision did not save the club from relegation. The following year, Winkleman announced that the club was to be renamed Milton Keynes Dons and adopt a new badge and colours. All ties with the old club were effectively severed.
In 2006, the club was relegated to the lowest division of the Football League (now known as League Two). There are indications that the club is building support locally and their new stadium will be ready for the 2007-08 season. Meanwhile, AFC Wimbledon continue to thrive in south-west London. In 2005 fans were considering mounting a legal claim to become the true inheritors of Wimbledon FC's history: an accord was agreed in August 2006 that settled the dispute.
