    Maybe it's for when they play Millwall, they'd cushion the blow a bit.

    Taken from: http://www.footballgroundguide.com/...stadium-mk-milton-keynes-dons.html?expand=all


    Away supporters are located in the North Stand at one end of the stadium where normally around 3,000 fans can be accommodated. If demand requires it then the corners to either side of this stand can also be allocated increasing the allocation to over 6,000. On the plus side the stadium is a quality one i.e. it has not been built on the cheap. So the facilities are first class. The stadium has such creature comforts as big 'Emirates Style' comfy seats and the ability to continue to watch the game in progress, whilst eating a burger on the concourse. The view of the playing action and leg room are both good and the atmosphere not bad. The concourses are spacious and offer a good range of food. Like a number of new stadiums though, its main drawback is location, It is located adjacent to the A5, but well away from the centre of Milton Keynes, so there is little on offer in the way of pubs. Very nearby though are KFC & McDonalds outlets, plus recently opened behind the North Stand, is an Odeon Cinema that also has seven eating places in front, including Nandos and Pizza Express. The stadium also has electronic turnstiles, so no paying at the gate here. Instead you gain entrance by putting your tickets into a bar code reader to gain entrance.

    Alan Burgess a visiting Sheffield Wednesday fan adds; 'the seating is marvelous both for comfort and leg room, the concourses very impressive and the sight lines fantastic. The food was the standard football ground offering but at least the serving areas were plentiful and well organised; there wasn't a bad atmosphere either from a crowd of 6,500 (though the PA system is deafening) and I can't end without a tribute to the bogs - separate, wide entrances and exits, plenty of space, soap and hot running water - luxury!. A cut above almost all of the modern football stadiums'. James Brook informs me; 'Away fans can buy tickets on the day by gates 3 and 4. All fans are searched on entering the stadium and flags are not allowed in unless they come with their fire certificate! The Club operate automatic turnstiles, where you have to put your ticket (which has a bar code on it) into a slot reader and a green light will signify that one can enter. This should be done speedily as the revolving turnstile will then come up behind you and whack you on the backside, which has left some fans rather bemused. Programmes are bought outside the stadium.' Food available on the concourse includes Pukka Pies; Chicken Balti (£3.20), Meat and Potato (£3.20), Cornish Pasties (£3.20), Cheese and Onion Pasties (£3.20), Quarter Pounder Cheeseburger with salad (£3.60), Rollover Hot Dogs (£3.60) and Bacon Rolls (£2.60).


    There's plenty of places to eat right outside the stadium (see pic) plus a McDonald's and KFC

    No pubs immediately near the stadium. Closest one is nearly a 15 min walk away.

    Let's hope this fixture doesn't haunt us - excuse the Halloween pun.

    You should really have asked by PM, people might not want their real names revealing on here.

    Hope there's some info on this soon, it's ridiculous that the club keep us in the dark.

    I'm off, quality ground really easy to get to. Lots of food and drink nearby. Town centre is awful anyway.
