[QUOTE="RoyalBlueStuey, post: 114748"] When an owner does decide to take his franchise 1000s of miles across the country is there not large-scale protests? People would go mental if that was done here. Wimbledon were a club in London that was thrown out of it's ground and denied another site by it's local council....it played as a tennant in other club's stadiums for years but couldn't get anyway one grant it a permanent home. It was never a big club anyway but eventually a business man bought it out with the intention of moving it out to a town with no team (Milton Keynes). He had to wait years to do it and even then there was all sorts of stupulations. They are pretty much the pariahs of the league now and the ex-fans set up their own FC Wimbledon in the hope of one day being better than the original. SB [/QUOTE]
