Who?

Kingstonian Football Club are an English, semi-professional football club that are playing in the Isthmian League First Division South for the 2007-08 season.

The club plays at Kingsmeadow in Kingston upon Thames - a complex built by the club with local council backing in 1989, after leaving their traditional Richmond Road ground. The club now shares Kingsmeadow with A.F.C. Wimbledon, who in 2004 purchased the lease to the ground from Kingstonian's controversial Chairman at the time, Rajesh Khosla.

History
Kingstonian has a proud tradition dating back to 1885. The club had a lot of success in the 1930s winning the FA Amateur Cup in 1933 along with numerous other competitions in that decade. They also enjoyed a period of great success more recently, winning the Isthmian League in 1998 and the FA Trophy in 1999 and 2000 at Wembley Stadium under renowned manager Geoff Chapple, before beating two Football League clubs - Brentford 3-1 away and Southend United 1-0 away - on their way to the FA Cup fourth round proper in 2001, where they were seconds away from beating Bristol City before succumbing to a late winner in the replay.

Relegation and financial problems saw a sharp downturn in the club's fortunes between 2001 and 2005. However, in February 2005 Khosla stepped down as Chairman, selling the club to Jimmy Cochrane. While this did not save Kingstonian from relegation that year, the 2005-06 season saw Kingstonian Football Club revitalised. They only narrowly missed out on the promotion playoffs after an excellent run of form after Christmas and finished their season by beating AFC Wimbledon in the final of the Surrey Senior Cup at Woking FC's Ground by one goal to nil.

Changes continued during the summer of 2006 with Mark Anderson and Malcolm Winwright taking charge of the club, installing Stuart McIntyre as successor to Ian McDonald in the role of head coach. However McIntyre's stay in the role was brief and unsuccessful with he himself being replaced by Alan Dowson at the start of 2007 after a run of poor results. Under Dowson the club has stabilised and has seen an improvement in its fortunes. The season ended with a 2-1 defeat to Eastbourne Town and coupled with a win by Dulwich Hamlet, Kingstonian ended the season in seventh. Ironically play-off rivals Worthing lost by the same score.

Due to an administrative oversight Kingstonian were expelled from the 2007-8 Surrey Senior Cup final for fielding an ineligible player. Ironically their opponents Tooting and Mitcham FC, who had lost the match 4-0, were also thrown out of the competition for a similar offence that could only occur in the semi finals and finals of this cup.

Who?

Tsk, no way to talk about the Landlords, the ones who let Kingstonian still play there for a ridiculously low rent.

Afc Wimbolden is a club made out of fans that cudnt save their own club when they had the chance, simple.

Who?

There's a bit more to it than that, the club was bought with the intention of running it into the ground and 'saving' the club by moving it. There was a perfectly viable football club there but they were vulnerable and were taken over by someone who always had the intention of relocating. The financial troubles were exaggerated, a lot of the evidence submitted to the FA appeal was false and the website domain name MKdons was registered before the club was even purchased... so there was never an intention to rescue the club, it was always to take the quick profit.

I as never a fan of Wimbledon FC but after what happened, as a relatively local lad I couldn't help but feel a soft spot for the new club.

What's with the owl impression? <_<

still a club made out of glory fans :sulk:
