During the 2003–04 English football season, Wimbledon F.C. competed in the First Division. This was Wimbledon's last season before changing its club name to Milton Keynes Dons after being given permission by the Football League.

Season summary[edit]

Wimbledon entered administration in June 2003,[1] and played their first match at the National Hockey Stadium in Milton Keynes in September.[2] Although crowds improved at the club's new base, the administrator sold any player who could command a transfer fee and Murdoch's team finished bottom.[3] The club was brought out of administration at the end of the season,[4] and subsequently reformed as Milton Keynes Dons.[5]
