Do they run out to "The Only Way Is Up"?
Who the F...ck are you ?
MK is a great place, young, vibrant and it can be whatever you want it to be.
Whether it's consumerism (great shopping) history, Stony Stratford, Wolverton, Bletchley Park, Woburn etc etc
Just about the fastest growing population in the UK (over many years)
Brilliant geographical position
Could go on, but having lived in both Shoreham & MK (no competition)
MK is a sound place
Over the next twenty years MK is going to be a major player in any category you want,
I prefer to live in reading than Brighton that's for sure....Brighton is a great night out,but it has little investment and to many weirdo's like London.
To many students
To many gays
To many tree huggers
To many homeless
Even had the useless greens running the place...
Guess everybody likes different things![]()

As a long standing resident of Milton Keynes, let me say this. First of all the best parts of it are in fact the old towns and villages that have been absorbed by MK since 1967. The centre is soulless, rootless and increasingly run down. The shops are mainly the same bland chain stores you unfortunately see in every town and city in the UK.
As a former employee of MK Development Corporation, I can tell you that the "plan" for sporting provision" of the spectator rather than the playing variety was always to cater for "new" and "minor"sports like baseball and American football, the now demolished Hockey Stadium (once MK Dons home) being a prime example. In fact I remember vividly the Deputy Director of MKDC telling me that there was absolutely no plan for professional football in the town, and that any chance of Luton relocating to MK was dead in the water. This was in the late 1980s. Ironically they were worried about "hooliganism and mindless violence", which now pervades most of the run down estates surrounding the centre. In fact that new cops story "Cuffs" should have been set in MK, as it is rife with violence, gang warfare, racial tensions, drug problems and numerous anti-social activities. The club that could have been built up to eventually work its way into the football league was the now defunct Milton Keynes City, who played at Manor Fields in Bletchley.
Nevertheless, there was always a great desire among many residents to have a league team in MK. It took Pete Winkleman and his consortium to deliver that, albeit by a devious route, namely the appropriation of Wimbledon, capitalising on its problems. I have to say that the MK Dons for all its faults and history, is very active in the community, building links with grass roots football organisations and assisting in sports provision in general, though they now harbour delusions of grandeur and this may evaporate on the altar of money power if they ever got into the Premiership.
Karl Robinson however was very complementary about the Albion and Chris Hughton on BBC Three Counties Radio this morning.
Now come on Albion let us see a massive victory, not least to save your surprising number of fans in MK their blushes.

Really?
Fans that follow their club in the lower divisions are plastic?
With the amount of unnecessary grief they get I have nothing but praise for them.
