AFC Wimbledon welcomed were at home to MK Dons on Friday evening.
It was just the third league meeting between the bitter rivals since the original Wimbledon side relocated to Milton Keynes in 2002 and only the second to take place at Kingsmeadow.
In the last fixture between the two sides in March, AFC Wimbledon recorded a 2-0 victory – enough for them to achieve survival in League One. The programme for that particular game contained no trace of the opposition, despite featuring details of the date and kick-off time.

This was repeated for Friday’s game, with those responsible for the AFC Wimbledon programme again choosing to ignore MK Dons – both on its cover and inside.

AFC Wimbledon started the game in 16th place in League One, knowing that a win over their rivals – who were 13th at the start of play – would see them climb above them in the table.
