Likewise. I'm having an op on 4th March, so will be making sure of my recovery before committing to this. Pretty sure I'll be there though. Hopefully decide in time for advanced purchase, though, rather than POTG.
I'm sure there will be plenty of unsold seats available on the day.
I sort of agree with this.
I still wish we could have a song as brilliant as the AFC fans to sing there, though.
"Where were you when you were us?" is my favourite ever football chant.

No, our away support is pretty shit unless it's local. See Reading.
I haven't quite worked out why, maybe because the amex is so good, maybe because so many people are paying by DD that they can't justify even more of their monthly outgoings on football...who knows

Green has it spot on-Although it would be great to get 6000,it simply won't happen...this is the nailed on reason why.....high 3s at best..

Hats off to them. Find it difficult to be upset when this is what most fans are asking for, ie affordable tickets

Indeed you are correct, however I'm still pretty sure it's the same game which Barndoor took some stick, the 0-0 bore draw was the following season
Davies didn't play in the 0-0, which was Dunk's debut - when Arismendi got sent off. (Unless there were two 0-0s?)

No, just one. I thought the left side/right side chant was the 0-0 game and the 0-2 was the one where Davies got abused (it was an awful miss). Remember thinking after that game that we were going to get relegated.

Bloody hell, don't get your hopes up.
Craven Cottage is a lovely, proper old fashioned football ground with free-for all seating (ish), is generally nearly full when we play there, attended by proper football fans, and in a great part of London with a range of easy transport connections and excellent pubs aplenty. And we sometimes win.
Stadium:MK is a large black monolith located in the middle of an industrial estate/retail park in a crap town, is always three quarters empty, the only noise being thunder sticks and the screeching of a few hundred school kids wearing Man United & Chelsea shirts, on freebie tickets. The stewards are horrifically unhelpful, and it's miles from any good pubs. And we've never even scored a goal there.
The only thing I can find to praise MK Dons about is that those tickets are extremely cheap, and the seats have plenty of legroom.
Enjoy your day, let's hope it's a good one. But do not under any circumstances expect it to be like Fulham

I think you need to ban yourself Bozza. That lot tried to take the Albion there. Now that would have made York City, BISA and the rest irrelevant. We didnt do all that to accept what happened to Wimbledon. Live and let live my arse, this club should be boycotted and we shouldnt do any business with them. JFC shouldnt be there with our history. Anyone who pays them their turnstile money should look at themselves. I still have not forgiven myself for going, only excuse I had was wanting to see a great friend who lives in MK.

agreed, I would love to be proven wrong but I'm predicting us taking around 3800-4000 in the end. we didn't sell out Reading, why would we take 2500 more to MK?

That really sums Milton Keynes up to a tee.
I lived there from 1998 to 2014 and I found the experience a disaster. The residents were like zombies, no emotions, no character and no idea about life. Sports wise, they appeared to roam around the shopping centre in their Chelsea/Arsenal/Manure and Liverpool shirts. Many were fans of american football and ice hockey need I say more.
As for the soccerball team, and I make no apology for that phrase, they should by rights have risen correctly up the league pyramid prior to being in the Football League. Franchise by name, franchise by nature it seems.
As for their new soulless stadium, which incidentally is the coldest in the league, even in April, I was once advised by a third party close to the Council that the funding was questionable. I was also told that the chairman, despite having the appearance of an old hobo, was a millionaire, albeit his limited wealth could not have procured it's construction etc. Draw your own conclusions.
So out of principle I will not be returning to put £12 into the MK Don's pockets, however cheap the tickets are on the day, neither will I ever return to that non descript town in the middle of nowhere which even had the temerity to call itself a city !
I even told the Chief Exec of Milton Keynes Council in no uncertain terms. Shortly afterwards the road signs were removed. Plastic town for plastic people. They deserve each other.
Strangely enough, MK is teeming with BHA fans, albeit many have dropped away from attending since the early 2000's.

I cannot do anything but plead guilty. I have some mitigation to out forward in the hope of a reduced sentence but you are absolutely right, I am guilty as charged. I shouldn't have gone and never would again. That "club" should be frozen out and we really shouldnt even dream of doing business with them.
