To this point, the £5m we paid for Dele is a shit load more than whatever income they'll get from us for a league cup game. Where was the trust's "consistency" then?
And there’s the real hypocrisy.

Fans of loads of clubs have boycotted games at MK Dons, ever since their inception. A football club trust feeling this way is not unusual, and I think it’s pretty shit to criticise them for this stance.
Me too. They seem to be OK with doing surveys for trivial stuff like catering, but with big things like this, they didn't ask my opinion.I am regretting joining the trust a little while ago. This is not what I thought they were about, they should not be making statements like this, or their previous one, this does not represent me or how I feel at all.
Attacking MK Dons whilst not attacking AFC Wimbledon for what they did to Kingstonian F.C. smacks of hypocrisy.
Get political when it suits them it seems.
Exactly. Just don't do it. Not in the name of a whole set of supporters you haven't asked anyway. If an individual put their feelings forward and used that bollocks, then fair enough, but aren't they the voice of many?The problem is, where does it end? Boycotting the Madrid games because of a sympathy with the Catalonian independence cause? A stretch I know, but any venture into politics is dangerous territory.
Sorry I defended them before. This exchange sums it up:
So the fans want the game at MK, but the trust don't. So what is the point of them?
Apparently they have consistently done it to be fair to them. However, this raises a rather serious point. Are the bastards lobbying on the supporters' behalf when doing this? I don't care about MK. I doubt most fans do either. I have read the most arrogant responses from the Trust on twitter about this. It just blows my mind. They are making out they are more informed and 'better' for boycotting.Did the Trust express similar misgivings about Stadium MK when that was looked at as a possibility rather than Wembley?
Seems tacked on.
I always thought their opposition was more based on the location of the stadium as opposed to the Wimbledon fiasco.Apparently they have consistently done it to be fair to them.

This x 1,000,000Attacking MK Dons whilst not attacking AFC Wimbledon for what they did to Kingstonian F.C. smacks of hypocrisy.
Get political when it suits them it seems and pushes their agenda.
I don't follow the trust at all. In fact, these past 2 letters are about as much as I've cared to read. Have they ever actually achieved real change at the club?
