I was at Gallagher earlier and had a quick look, quite a large shop next to maplins. Is anyone going up later???

Is this a positive sign that the club have opened a club shop or not?? If they were going to buy the ground would they have waited until they did this and reopened the one in the ground?? Having looked at the signage, it could be easily moved etc so maybe it is another temporary solution until after Christmas??

All these little signs indicate life is getting better.......Talks/contracts/buying if needed in january/shop. Maybe, just maybe they realise the only way they will earn there money back, is to back the club and give us a shot at some success. Home to Coventry next surely?

Can't answer that unless you know the terms of the lease, could be they've signed something short term or with an easy out. Guess one giveaway could be how much it looks like they've spent on a refurb. If it's been done on the cheap it's more likley to be short term, if it looks like they're splashed the cash a bit it could be a sign they aren't planning to be leaving there any time soon.

It looked nothing like that. All the fittings are new. Not exactly lavish, but it doesn't look temporary.

I've just gone up but wasn't gonna queue so left after about 10 minutes of wandering. Probably seen you but never actually knew! :D

Was very busy, but not as busy as when it first opened apparently. Decent turn out!

And I also thought Fisher being there was surprising. That said, he's shown many a time he's not afraid of much and doesn't shy away from public appearances.

Think I saw Joy there too! ;)

Fisher bring there isn't a surprise. He's at every 'home' game, willing to talk to anyone.

Went to get some MK tickets and to be fair the turnout was pretty impressive. It took about 20 minutes to get served and it seemed that everybody was buying MK tickets, well in the ticket queue anyway.:claping hands: There was a huge queue for merchandise and the fans particularly the young ones seemed genuinely excited to see our homebred players. The undoubted favourite though was Pressley, who was happy to chat, pose for photos with everyone.
Even the 'Great Satan' was spotted signing a few autographs, maybe Ann Lucas was able to slip in an a new 'Ricoh agreement' for him to sign.:(

True but haven't heard anything like that happening. There seems to be a disparaging myth that Fisher had disappeared from public. He hasnt.
