Papers oppose football club's move

Two newspapers are backing supporters who are opposed to the planned move of Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes next season.

The plan has prompted howls of protest from supporters who are being backed by their local papers the Wimbledon News and the Wimbledon Guardian.

The Newsquest titles have pledged not to report on any so-called ‘home’ games played at Milton Keynes and will instead report fully on a new team AFC Wimbledon – a team set up by the supporters.

AFC Wimbledon have secured a place in the Combined Counties League and the matches will be fully reported in the newspapers with pictures every week and an internet link.
