Way to knock everyone off their high horses. :ROFLMAO:

Inter MK Group own the ground and Winkleman owns Inter MK, so he'd get the money. But on top of that, the bigger earner would be from the prestige and endorsement of a (then previously) respected Premier League team.

Maybe the horse only looks high to a belly-crawling snake?*

*A dig ;)

Twickenham would be very decent for us. Cheap tickets, sell it out every home game. Play fixture clashes at Wembley. Nothing less than we deserve.

Optimistic ratings at the ready...


At least if it's Twickers, when Townsend shoots we will be guaranteed three points.................

Watford are increasing there capacity to 21,000 at the moment, that could be an option for lg games & then if we're in CL we could play games at Wembley or Twickenham ( if possible). There is one stadium with a 30,600 capacity sitting idle at present with no matches been played there & that's the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, it wouldn't be popular but I'd be amazed if it wasn't considered by The Board.

If they don't own their ground, we won't be paying them anything...
It's not the money, it's the principle. A proper football club like Spurs should not be legitimising a sham franchise outfit like MK Dons by entering into an official arrangement like a groundshare. There are 90 other potential clubs that we could try and arrange a groundshare with rather than MK Dons.

No there aren't and you know it :D

Any ground would have to be of a certain capacity and be within at least reasonable travelling distance from where we usually play. Or would you really have us travelling to Plymouth Argyle or somewhere to satisfy your personal sensibilities?

And whilst I sort of agree with you about the MK Dons thing, wether we like it or not that horse has long bolted. Literally the whole football world sat on its arse and watched when it all happened and it's done now and too late to do anything about it. Legitimising doesn't even come into it now. They are here and here to stay wether we like it or not.

Our playing at their ground won't make one iota's difference, there is no great movement to make them outcasts and had AFC Wimbledon (or whatever it is they are called now) felt they should be banging the 'legitimising' drum, they'd have pulled out of their FA Cup tie with them a couple of years or so back.

The whole thing was a fuck up that hopefully will never be repeated and i'd love to see them below the original Wimbledon in the league but any form of protest or gesture against them is a bit like farting against thunder now, too little and waaaaay too late.

Having written all that……meh, whatever. :woot:

Yes it is.There is an ASDa next to it which someone has to inform match days?They used to own the land where the stadium is?Sunday matches will probably be after 4 when ASDA is closed?
