Turn up and support your team

THE word is out that some fans are planning to swerve United’s maiden trip to Milton Keynes Dons next Saturday because they can’t bear to spend a single farthing at the home of the unloved franchise club who stole Wimbledon’s clothes.
If that’s their real reason for not showing – and not the more basic deterrents such as the cost of another demanding away day in financially traumatic times, and the fact the game is being shown live on Sky – they should be urged to consider the following equation.
Boycotting a morally dubious but wealthy football club might feel noble, but it won’t really achieve anything. Turning up and supporting your own team will.
