Redspottedhanky.com £9.60 return on slower train with open return so we can have few beers MK after no stupid booking fees or postal fees!

Just spoke to MK to get another ticket and the guy said they probably won't open the top tier to us for fear of upsetting their own fans, as it hasn't been used anywhere yet!!!

Without this, the maximum we could have will be 6,500.

Strange thought process??

Does anyone know how many are left ? And what the best way to get them is as I haven't used club shop or phone this season. And does anyone know the best place to park that's good for a quick getaway ?

You don't happen to know the names of the industrial estates so I can find them on sat nav ? And the point was not to leave 5 mins early I meant somewhere where we ain't queing up for an hour to get out of the carpark

@Coventry_City: Additional tickets for our match vs MK Dons have now sold out! We are awaiting news on any extra allocation http://t.co/gkfUhbeT73 #pusb

Can we still get them from MK or is that it now? I Really should have got tickets earlier but was going to go today

So is that roughly 5,400 sold if 1k are from MK? surely we are dueat least another 1100 to fill the bottom tier if its 6500 in there so I would expect to see us be given more tickets even if they don't open up the top tier

,cant give you the name but last year it was hard to get of the ind est,also if going north ,best to follow signs for a5 north the pick up m1 higher up as the direct m1 route from the ground was manic .catching the train this year ,read Bletchley is only a 10/15 min walk ,maybe worth parking that way ,it will deffo be all city heading in from that way.just looked it up ,I parked on the denbiegh road ind est last year.just a series od avenues but only one service road .Bletchley is your best bet then jump on the a5

No ticket yet but had an email receipt from MK. Give it to the end of the week before chasing up.

Are the receipts for exchange to tickets on the day, as the seats are currently not allocated if you buy direct from MK?
Don't see why they'd post out receipts and then tickets separately?

Of course the games we SHOULD all be supporting are the next 2 at Sixfields, Tranmere and Rotherham. Completely odd to make such a big fuss of MK Dons instead of cheering the team on Saturday. Are these the same 6000 who claim not to be able to go to Sixfields as that has been "denied" them yet getting to Milton Keynes is no problem! Smacks of hypocrisy Im afraid.

What part of 'refusing to acknowledge Shitfields as our home stadium' do you not understand?

The bigger the disparity between our 'home' and away support, the stronger the message to our owners.

We've now been talking about this for about 6 months. And you still don't get it?...

I get it even less now. There is no progress so not sure either side can claim they are winning. Same team, same league, get over the pigheadedness and take a pragmatic approach. I wish all the MK Dons bandwaggon jumpers would choose something else for their one game of the season trip

Hi AndreasB- is it anymore hypocritical than those who attend Sixfield despite them not wanting too- but they do it for the "team"?

The reason the vast majority of us aren't going to Northampton is a protest at our club being moved out of it's city. Of course we CAN go to Sixfields, but we choose not to. In the last 10 days i've had a 6 hour journey to London on a friday night and a 250 round mile round trip to West Yorkshire on a sunday, but I will not go Sixfields.

Andreas; the reasons why so few go to SIxfields is well documented as I suspect you are probably aware. I respect your choice to attend at Sixfields, so please respect mine not to. I will go to MK as it is easy to get to - I will not go to Sixfields for those well documented reasons even though it is my neasest league ground, and therefore easier to get. When (if) we are back in Cov, then I will attend when able to.

Looking forward to the game, but not any politics in the pub before hand. Enjoy the game

Im no troll. I just vehemently disagree with you and I know I am in a minority. Big Difference.
One day this saga will end - the most likely scenario is that we will be back at the Ricoh for a (temporary?) period under SISU/Otium. Not sure what else you think is likely to happen. the boycott will then look all the more pointless.

I'd say if we returned to the Ricoh, the boycott has DEFINITELY worked!

I think you will find that the hated SISU who took us away, may well be seen to have "seen the light" (even if it is only until a new stadium is built. It's KCIC, as the first and only priority.

Using terms like "seen the light" is unfortunately not one that you could apply to SISU. They are still hard headed bastards and will only come back if the deal suits them. You are kidding yourself if you think they are morally shamed enough to leave Northampton until finacially they get the deal they want.
