- Relocation_of_Wimbledon_F.C._to_Milton_Keynes abstract "Wimbledon Football Club relocated to Milton Keynes in September 2003, 16 months after receiving permission to do so from an independent commission appointed by The Football Association. The move took the team from south London, where it had been based since its foundation in 1889, to Milton Keynes, a new town in Buckinghamshire, about 56 miles (90 km) to the northwest of the club's traditional home district Wimbledon. Hugely controversial, the move's legal authorisation directly caused the establishment of AFC Wimbledon by disaffected Wimbledon supporters in June 2002. The relocated club spent most of the 2003–04 season playing in Milton Keynes under the Wimbledon name, before it rebranded itself as Milton Keynes Dons (MK Dons) at that season's end.Wimbledon Football Club spent most of its history in amateur and semi-professional non-League football, and was elected to The Football League following the 1976–77 season. An unusually rapid rise through the professional divisions followed for the club over the next decade, culminating in promotion to the First Division (then English football's highest level) before the 1986–87 season. The team subsequently won England's top knockout cup competition, the FA Cup, in 1988. This unprecedented spell of sustained success by a traditionally obscure, unknown club has been called a "fairytale".A series of club owners believed that Wimbledon's long-term potential was severely limited by its home ground at Plough Lane, which never changed significantly from the team's non-League days. Extending this dissatisfaction to the stadium's location, Wimbledon chairman Ron Noades briefly explored moving the club to Milton Keynes in 1979. As a new town formed in 1967, Milton Keynes had no Football League club representing it, and moves there were also fleetingly mooted by Charlton Athletic in 1973 and Luton Town in 1982. Wimbledon remained at Plough Lane until 1991, when the club was told to redevelop the old ground by the Taylor Report. The club's owners could not afford to do the necessary work, and so arranged for the club to temporarily share Crystal Palace's Selhurst Park ground, about 6 miles (9.7 km) east of Plough Lane, while they sought a new stadium site for Wimbledon in south-west London. They searched fruitlessly over the next decade.Starting in 2000, the Milton Keynes Stadium Consortium, led by Pete Winkelman, proposed a Football League-standard ground in Milton Keynes, partly funded by an attached retail development. This stadium site was offered to Luton, Wimbledon, Barnet, Crystal Palace and Queens Park Rangers. None of these clubs was interested at first, but the introduction of a new chairman at Wimbledon, Charles Koppel, led to more receptive talks. These ultimately led to the club moving to Milton Keynes with the intent of playing on Winkelman's proposed site. It was in financial administration when it did so, and remained in this state until Winkelman bought it in 2004. On buying the team, Winkelman changed the club's name, badge and colours. Milton Keynes Dons initially claimed Wimbledon F.C.'s heritage and history as its own, but renounced this in 2007, soon after its new stadium opened.".
