Do they get any following from Aylesbury Forza.... or do they still have allegiance to the Ducks? Hopefully it's the latter

quite a few go over there, unfortunately, including 2 from my local (can hardly bring myself to speak to them!) both Aylesbury clubs have suffered; mini Aylesbury (now known as Aylesbury Vale Dynamoes) particularly so. The Mighty Ducks punch above their weight in Southern League Div 1 Central, with a tiny budget, an excellent manager and a group of loyal, local players , who always try and play football. Testament to the manager is that 4 players he brought in have made it to national league South level. off the pitch we remain homeless, playing again at Chesham in front of our loyal 150 fans. AUFC are always amongst the biggest travelling support in the division. I'm a season ticket holder and there's good group of us skinheads and scooter boys who go over for a catch up, a moan and a beer

If you substitute Swan for Fenty you have a very similar situation to what we had at Town, the owner or major shareholder owns the club and is prepared to let it fall into a situation of disrepair as they are not prepared to spend any more money, and not prepared to sell for less than the amount they have invested in the club. We are so fortunate that our new owners were able to purchase the club when they did although relegation from the Football League happened they cannot be held responsible for that as the damage was done in the previous years. Onwards and Upward. UTM

| Dead Eye Dobbin stood motionless waiting, waiting, waiting for the ball to arrive. Back came the right foot, Down came the right foot, Bang ! Headlines around the world as the ball flew into the very top right hand corner of the goal.( Jim Dobbin scoring in the 89th minute for Town against Newcastle United away 24/10/1992 ) |

Good to hear that there's still some life left in the Ducks even if their halcyon years are well behind them now And as for locals travelling over to MK to watch the Donuts.... words fail me. It was nice to see Wycombe stick it past them in the playoffs recently so at least they'll be stuck in the 3rd tier for another season

I've lived in the Scunny area for almost 20 years. I still only know a handful of people who actually watch them regularly.
I have never lowered my standards by going myself to watch them. Whenever I've been it's always been the away end.
Swann is perhaps even worse than Fenty .Whilst he remains they will struggle.
Do I want them to fold .....no absolutely not. Am I revelling just a little in their current mess. You betcha.
