The last 10 minutes of today's match rates very highly in my favourite football moments - such a turnaround in the match, and it's great to see the team that we've sponsored since they began finally being playable in the game officially next season! As for other clubs, well done to any who have been promoted, and commiserations to those relegated, anywhere in the world. But as this is the Sports Interactive messageboard, and there is a very close affiliation between AFC Wimbledon and Sports Interactive, I think it's only fair for us to be allowed to celebrate AFC's rise through the divisions without anyone moaning at us, or trying to hijack the thread for footballing political reasons. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Hmmm. An AFC Wimbledon thread and a mention of football politics? Is it really that surprising? They go together like fish and chips, Ronaldo and dives, etc. You can't expect to open a thread such as this and NOT expect something you don't like to be mentioned. We don't live in an innocent, child-orientated world for that to happen, do we? So if someone wants to raise MK Dons, any AFC rival club, FC United or any other part of the chequered history of your club, so be it. Call it bandwagon-jumping if you will. Like you did with your sponsorship of the club all those years ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted May 4, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted May 4, 2008 The Governor - this is the Sports Interactive messageboard, not a general football one. There are plenty of forums out there to discuss football, and the politics. The original post relates directly to Sports Interactive and AFC Wimbledon, and has nothing to do with anyone else - just because global stickies happen to appear on OTF as well as the other forums, doesn't mean that it should be treated in an off topic way, when it's very much on topic. As for bandwagon jumping, that's certainly not how I or anyone involved with the AFC deal either at the club, or at SI, went into the relationship. You weren't there, and have no idea how, or why we got involved, nor the terms of the deal, so unless you have facts to back up what you claim, please leave your pithy comments at the door.

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted May 4, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted May 4, 2008 The Governor - We were clear when the announcement was made why we got involved - if we wanted the time we got involved, or the deal, to be public, it would have been made already. I'm fine with any responses that aren't unfairly attacking us - your post did that when you falsely accused us of "bandwagon jumping".

SI Staff Miles Jacobson Posted May 4, 2008 SI Staff Share Posted May 4, 2008 gonch19 - 2 legged play off finals are not traditional in the UK. The Football League play off finals are one legged, for example. Whilst the FL play off semi finals are two legged, the reason I've been given for the Ryman Prem ones being one legged is that the higher placed team should have an advantage for finishing higher.
