MK Dons say BOGOF to Racism


April 2006


The Schhols and players show racism the red cardSaturday's Buy One Get One Free day against racism brought in a healthy crowd of over 6,400 to watch the MK Dons take on Gillingham.


Before the game Chairman Pete Winkleman showed off the anti-racism message produced by local schools to the Mayor and local MPs Mark Lancaster and Dr Phyllis Starkey, then joined in with pupils from over 40 schools to pose for a group shot before parading around the stadium prior to the game.



At half-time the prize-winning local schoolchildren lined up for a pic before Pete then signed the document that made the MK Dons one of the first professional clubs outside of the Premiership to sign up to Kick It Out's Racial Equality Standard for Professional Football Clubs.
