I have been boycotting that club since they 'bought' themselves a league place, the same year MK City went bankrupt !!

I supported us at the home game but they will not be getting a single penny of mine, ever!!

Anyone wishing to join me in the boycott, your more then welcome, sit at home and listen to the radio

and to the probable 2,000 that travel, best wishes to you and I hope we beat them.

The sooner they go bust, the better

Corno is about right , Train will be a lot cheaper aslong as you buy early - Coach is fixed at £17 isn't it no matter where it goes - or so that's how i've always known it

I'm going , I love MK , but not the team ! were I live most folk hate them , the're known as " MK Franchise" :laugh::laugh::laugh:

I have also been boycotting MK Dons since there inception. Mainly because I don't support them.

I know this has been tried and failed...
But we should make this as an away day.
One of the closest, only days after Christmas, new ground. Cheap train tickets also.
I'd expect 2k to go anyway, but wouldn't it be nice to take towards the 3k mark down there.
I also don't think the coach prices are fixed?

Yea definately Bletchley is the closer, and Bletchley has some decent drinking holes. I worked for Brotish Gas in MK for a decade based at Newton Longville depot and i used to know the grid system really well, but thats 22 years ago now, so I've forgot the lot.

I used to love working there, but its bloody massive now and very bland.
I can't understand why for the size of the place that they have'nt got a couple of decent sized non league clubs there as well. When i worked there they had Wolverton Town and MK City at step 4/5 in the non league ladder system, but both have now gone and the highest placed team left is way down at step 7 i think. There seems no passion for football in the City. Most of the people who lived there when i was there, came from London and already had a club to support, and by the way its looking nothing has changed

I bet Waterman or is it Winkleman, thought that taking Wimbledon there would go much better crowd wise than it has. They have that big staduim with the toip tier now with installed seating ,and they can't even fill half the bottom tier.

This is going to sound really childish but as a 14 year old im not allowed to go on the train but am allowed to go on the coach ( stupid parents). 17 quid is a bit much if that's right but can't see it being that much when it's 2 hours there and back. Will see thanks for your help anyway guys.

Official coach prices are usually poor value for the shorter journeys.

Might be best to wait and see if a fans minibus/ coach gets arranged which I'd imagine would be cheaper,

If u book early enough on the train u can get return for about 3.50 each way to central mk on virgin if u straight to bletchley you have to take west mids which seams to take forever on the way home.

I could probably run a coach for around £9 -£10 each. Would need to fill it though

I live literally just outside and work in MK so will definately be going to this one.

I've found that when Wimbledon was first moved here lots of people went to see them, because it was new in MK, and obviously closer than whatever clubs other people supported. But as the seasons have gone by the novelty has worn off for most people. But you do see quite a few kids around wearing Dons shirts, so in time their support will grow I think.

But I choose travelling to the Ricoh every time rather go to stadium MK.

£7.00 return on Train, sounds like a no brainer, anyone know the price for a match ticket ?

Usually tickets are £20 for away fans at MK. They are selling home tickets already but Cov haven't got them listed yet.

We were the closest Premier League club, so I suppose it makes sense that there's a few Sky Blues in MK.
