The Dons looked doomed for the drop prior to last weekend fixture at Wigan, but a slender 1-0 victory provided little more than false hope as what's left of their fan-base watched on as their glorious past was clouded with a now gloomy future.
The current campaign has seen Wimbledon leave behind their land-lords, Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in favour of their controversial move to Milton Keynes where, in front of an improved crowd in comparision to that of the previous season, their on-the-field fortunes picked up very much where their form at their previous lodgings left off.
But for the duration of this season relegation looked ominous although their plight was not helped any by the departure of highly-rated trio Adam Nowland, Jobi McAnuff and captain, Nigel Reo-Coker to West Ham United in an attempt to help stave off further financial ruin.
Nowland, McAnuff and Reo-Coker, to name but three, are just a small selection of the seventeen who were shown the Milton Keynes door in drastic cost-cutting measures.
However, all of the above may be irrelevant if the Magpies' own attempt to beat the drop fails. One thing, however, is for certain: the legacy left behind by this once great club will live long in the memory of football fans far-and-wide.
