Wimbledon FC's highly controversial move to Milton Keynes more than 20 years ago remains one of the most taboo subjects in English football.
It is one Milton Keynes Dons fan Ryan remembers well. He had grown up supporting the Wombles and was their mascot in his second game at Plough Lane.
He was at Wembley to see the famous "Crazy Gang" lift the FA Cup in 1988 - still his greatest football memory - and his mum had been at school with club legend Dave Bassett.
He adored football and loved Wimbledon FC.
Unlike the majority of supporters who now cheer on AFC Wimbledon, the phoenix club formed in place of the original, Ryan was part of a small group who bought into the vision sold by Pete Winkelman and his consortium and followed the club to its new home in Milton Keynes.
"There needs to be an acceptance this has happened now," Ryan says, his unwillingness to disclose his full name indicative of the acrimony that still exists between the clubs.
But they have tasted defeat in each of their last two meetings, both coming at Plough Lane in League Two - most recently, the embarrassing 3-0 reverse in September. AFC Wimbledon though have only won once at Stadium MK, and that was more than a decade ago when they claimed a 3-2 win in the EFL Trophy in October 2014.
