[Peter Grummit]

Second hand reports that we have now sold 5,800 and the Club is asking for a further allocation.

When I went back in 2009 there was loads of parking. Is it still the same now?

Over 6000 away fans will be amazing for atmosphere; I'm gutted I can't make it.

Should be great, will be my two boys first away day.

Never thought I'd be so excited about going to Milton Keynes.

To be fair we need homes (and new towns) if people object to new housing in their backyards and Milton Keynes is something of a success story we should champion. Having said that they should have had their own football club from start and not destroy an already established one. With that I hope MK Dons fails and a new one born to become successful. But we shouldn't stop new places being built and the national bowl is pretty sweet for concerts.

There was a Milton Keynes City FC as long ago as 1974!!

We parked on the street of the nearby industrial estate. 5 min walk, free to park.

Agree with all apart from the fact that MKD's supporters should not be punished as at the end of the day they support their town and football club...People need to get over it.

I'm thinking of making the journey to the MooCamp but the transport looks a bit tricky. Trains will be rammed.

You will be fine, there will be plenty of room.

Get those on a bus replacement!

Not looking forward to that part of the journey

I'd be more concerned about trying to shoehorn everyone with "Southern trains only" tickets onto the one train an hour that runs direct from East Croydon to MK. That was chaos the last time I went to MK by train and we couldn't have had more than 3K there that day.

And your lecturing us about 'big clubs'. That phrase is nonsense anyway, but let's look at the evidence:

24 Rotherham 9,741 8,839 11,658 155,860 12,021 81.0%

I note:
BHA 2nd in the League in attendances, outperforming their League position (4th)
MK 21st in attendances, matching their pitiful League position
MK have the lowest %age of capacity filled (42%), despite offering swathes of cheap tickets to away fans.

Tinpot is too good for you lot. See you in a fortnight.

PG

So, MK average just over twelve thousand fans in their first ever season in the second tier, a figure undoubtedly inflated by away contingents of up to 9,000?

Gosh, no WONDER Winkleman said Milton Keynes desperately needed a football team. A town of approximately 250,000 people, where about 9,000 locals can be arsed to go to their games? What a HOTBED of football.

Imagine the echo noise in Euston station on the way back if we win!

Looking forward to this one a lot!

I was going from Clapham Junction to Bletchley.

 

[Roadrunner]

I imagine your train would be starting from East Croydon. Last time we left loads of people behind on EC station as the train was full and standing, and barely anyone was able to join the train along the way. Maybe it won't be so busy on this route this time round, now that Southern have made it so difficult to buy the Daysave ticket that restricts you to Southern trains only.

 

[Bigtomfu]

There are plenty of trains on the Euston route.

I'm going to be getting on at Watcord Junction. Could be fun

Thanks for this info, I better have a rethink on the travel plans, I have got a Southern DaySave ticket.
There are 10 of us travelling together so we better go to East Croydon.
