However, the kick-off had to be postponed due to the late arrival of the MK Dons team.

Their team coach did not arrive at Plow Lane until around 11.45am.

That was after being delayed in “traffic” in South West London.

It was then announced that the start of the showdown had been delayed by fifteen minutes.

The bad blood between the two clubs has existed since the formation of MK Dons in 2002, when the owners of the original Wimbledon FC moved to Buckinghamshire.

Angry supporters of the old club formed AFC Wimbledonand they worked their way up from non-competitive back to the professional game.

Since returning to the Football League, the two teams have faced each other on several occasions.

The first competitive match between them took place in December 2012 in the second round of the FA Cup, a match which MK Dons won 2–1.

Today will mark the 15th time the two teams have clashed.

As well as that FA Cup match, they have met in the EFL Trophy, the League Cup and the Football League.

MK Dons have recorded eight wins, while AFC Wimbledon have won twice.

Furious fans also believe that the nickname is Dons of Wimbledon and that MK Dons is a completely separate club that should have no claim to the history of the original team.

This has even led to AFC Wimbledon getting into trouble for refusing to use MK Dons’ full name on their stadium scoreboard.

It was MK Dons who celebrated in January when they last met as goals from Dan Kemp, an own goal from Ryan Johnson and Warren O’Hara earned a 3-1 win over their rivals, who had two players sent off sent.
