Relocation report gives Wimbledon fans 'victory'

Fans opposed to Wimbledon's move to Milton Keynes have claimed a moral victory after a new report urged football's governing bodies to prevent such an occurrence happening again.

Wimbledon will start next season playing at the National Hockey Stadium, but the Football Association and the Football League have promised the Independent Football Commission to try to avoid a similar relocation.

Wimbledon received the green light to leave south London from a commission appointed by the FA last May despite opposition from supporters. They were granted conditional approval by the League this month.

Dave Boyle, a spokesman for the Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association, said: "The commission has the power to name and shame and that is exactly what they've done.

"The commission agreed with us that the decision to allow the club to move was fatally flawed. That is a victory for us."

Both the FA and the League refused to comment on the commission's report.
