No spanking from me Ashdown, don't see why people should get rewarded for their hypocrisy!

I'd expect us and wolves to take whatever we're given.

Does anyone actually travel from South London to MK games? Not having a pop, just interested.

There are a few hundred old Wimbledon fans still supporting the club but I can't imagine many of them travel from South London every week.

Fisher is already talking about a new stadium site up to 9 miles from Earl St, it isn't exactly the same scenario, but their proposed sites are inching further out of Coventry .. I mean they said this less than a month ago ...

They say they are now looking at FOUR sites within six miles of Coventry city centre.

And in a recent meeting of the SCG Mr Fisher is reported as saying....

Club want to have a stadium consultation group – made up of fans – who work with the club to ensure new stadium meets wants and needs of fans as much as possible. What is critical is to get the site right. Ideally it will be a large site as the plan is to have the academy next to the stadium. It has to be within 8 miles of Earl Street, although if an absolutely perfect site is found at say 9 miles then he wouldn’t expect the league to block it.

My opinion only, but I think this means they're seriously thinking of moving to Birmingham if they can't buy the freehold of the Ricoh and my guess is to where the new HS2 interchange is going.. so they'll be plenty of backers for development in that area & SISU need a big development company to pay for 1/2 their proposed new stadium.

How many tickets have been sold? Also I would like to know if the ground will be suitable for a 5 y o. It's his first game and new territory for me bringing a child to a football match.

Dont know how many sold but its fine for a kid. Plenty of room, very few home fans, cheap. Away fans usually stand but kid should still see ok. Get seats next to aisle for guaranteed view.

Probably the most laid back ground (even more than the Ricoh) I've ever been.

Interesting theory. Presumably we'll be renamed to Chelmsley Wood FC. It's not in Birmingham either, it's Solihull there I think bordering North Warwickshire and Birmingham.

Strange to send another 900, why not just 1k? Maybe we wont be allocated as many as we want. If it's anything like last year it'll be fantastic.

I went into the MK Dons ticket office this afternoon and bought 16 tickets, they couldn't have been more helpful even when I requested that they split them over 3 rows. The customer service was excellent. Had a good chat re our situation, etc and they were very sympathetic.

They are looking at opening the top tier for us if the demand is there, although they said that a few of their fans might not be too happy with it seeing as they've not used the top tier yet. They haven't got many tickets left in the bottom tier.

Fernando, where else is there in this radius, this location is the only place I can see in that 8 to 9 miles band that makes any sense to me & I am taking Fishers statement as the start of a campaign to break the news gradually & gently..

Their ground holds approx 32K, there will be about 5 - 6k MK Dons fans. Don't think you will have a problem getting in.........

I got mine from their website, paid a pound for delivery and they were here in 3 days. A well organised and properly run ticket office and stadium........something we DONT have.

My mate ordered them over the phone with our ticket office Tuesday and they were delivered yesterday.

Can't argue with that service.

MK Dons Following will indicate where we are

A true reflection of our following and how many fans we may have possibly lost or not lost can be gauged at MK away - We took 5,000 last year anything less will indicate that if this nonsense continues then the damage maybe irreparable

Think it may be easier for me to ring up then and ask about the tickets and coach fare!
