With it being a new ground and cheap ticket we should be able to do more than 3000. However, the capacity is available for double that if demand was that far.
A last minute rush and people can buy them tonight. I have been asked to buy 4 more for out of town mates.
New ground for me but I went to the game at the hockey stadium so does it count as a tick? That was the night there was the blizzard just before the game so i went in the away end. Had to keep v quiet especially when we scored.
Bought a ticket for my mate who is a sheffield united fanatic / sheff utd season ticket holder ..he lives just outside milton keynes and will be joining the tiger army on saturday.
Barnsley away, 2013. They wouldn't open the second stand, otherwise we'd have taken 7,000 that day. Rubbish day mind...
The Chicago Rocks pub was good craic beforehand though. Best pre match i've ever been in. Everyone singing, drinking, dancing then we got to the ground and the match kicked off.
Anyone know what the pubs are for away fans in Milton Keynes. I have put a post on the MK Dons site on here but as it looks like a ghost town on there I have doubts that I will get reply any day soon
PUBS FOR AWAY FANS Ian Townsend informs me; 'There is a hotel connected to the stadium, of which some of the rooms have views of the pitch. But more importantly it also has the Red Dot Bar, into which away fans are usually welcomed provided any colours are kept reasonably discrete. This bar also shows Sky Sports.' The nearest pub to the ground is the 'Inn on the Lake' (previously called the Beacon). However it no longer welcomes football fans on matchdays. About a 15 minute walk away towards Bletchley is the Enigma Tavern on Saxon Street. This pub also offers food, has a large beer garden and is child friendly. To find this pub, just follow the signs for Bletchley by Asda and you will reach the pub on your left. If arriving into Bletchley Railway station then nearby, is the Park Inn and Bletchley Working Mens Club (Saturdays only, see advert below). Guy Plumb adds; 'There is also Fenny Stratford which is located a mile south of the stadium along Watling Street. Fenny has seven pubs within a five minute walk of each other plus a fish and chip shop'. Caroline Charlesworth a visiting Leicester fan tells me; 'Many Leicester fans headed to Fenny Startford, as it is about a 20 minute walk from the ground and seems to be the better bet of all the areas round the ground after speaking to others who went elsewhere. We actually caught the train and got off at Fenny Stratford. Right by the station is the ‘The Red Lion’. This is in a lovely setting right beside a Canal Lock – nice for those early and end of season days out as they have a decent size garden and plenty of room to stand around outside'. Mary McConnell a Sheffield United fan informs me; 'I would recommend the Swan Hotel in Fenny Stratford, its on the corner of Watling Street and Simpson Road (this road runs down to the railway station). The locals were friendly and the landlord most accommodating. It has a large car park that accommodated our supporters coach. and part from the usual fayre of drinks, they offered nice fresh rolls, which makes a nice change to the usual chips and a burger that's offered in most places! Its not often that we find some where so nice to away supporters but this place couldn't of done more, big thumbs up to The Swan Hotel.' To get to both the Red Lion and Swan Hotel pubs from Fenny Stratford station you need to turn left as you step off the train. Walk down to the level crossing and turn right for The Swan Hotel and left for The Red Lion. Both pubs are just a couple of minutes from the level crossing'. Alternatively, it may be an idea instead to drink on the way or in Milton Keynes itself. There are a number of bars located adjacent to the main shopping centre (although many of them do not allow fans in wearing colours), or in walking distance of Milton Keynes Central station. If coming out of the station you go straight up Midsummer Boulevard in front of you, then after around five minutes walk you will find a Wetherspoons outlet located on the left. Wayne Bowen a visiting Southend United fans adds; 'Alcohol was available to away fans, at £3.40 for a bottle of Carlsberg and £3.40 for a can of Tetley. However, there were long queues at half time.' Bletchley Working Mens Club please log in to view this image Bletchley Working Mens Club is located 500 yards from Bletchley Rail Station, and just over a mile from Stadium:mk.

If we're taking a good following then I don't mind having a few at the ground! SW was a good laugh before the game! The odd bit of lager being thrown but all in good nature!
