I think it will be less this season if we remain at suxfields. I reckon the away crowd will drop off significantly this season full stop without a return home.

The reason we all go in our numbers to MKDons is simple really,it's a good day out.<br>Easy to get to,a day on the lash,meet lads you don't see much of now due to Sixfields,outnumbering the home fans,in other words for us who won't attend Sixfields it's a fixture you look forward too.

People have lost severe interest now. Maybe 2-3000 tops. I expect half to have dropped off.
Hope to be proved wrong but sadly I won't be.

Why? No other clubs' fans give a shit about our predicament, hence the thousands that have travelled to watch their team play at Shitfields.
Wimbledon themselves packed at the away end at MK so why shouldn't we?
This fixture gets a good turnout due to its relative locality to Coventry, its ease to get to by road or rail, and the huge away end.
Good days out following Coventry are so rare these days that people naturally look forward to matches like this when 7,000 fans can have a few beers and a sing song.
Nothing more, nothing less. And I am looking forward to it big time.

I'm looking forward to the march first then MKDons away. Like you it's a chance to meet up again have a drink and feel like a real fan again.

Why? Because of our particular predicament obviously. It's plain hypocrisy.

Unfortunately as I have mentioned in another thread this match coincides with my charity event ,the solo skateboard across Antartica wearing only a mankini, so I won't be able to go.
Hopefully there is room in my mankini to put my ipad so I can keep up with SBT and the match thread.

Wingy - I wish you wouldn't use phrases like... 'judge mental' with only 2 days till JR result...it feels like a bad omen !!!!
I see the irony in MK reaping the financial benefits of us going, but on a personal note I have enjoyed two of the best away games there these past two seasons. The same reason that I enjoyed Port Vale and Notts County (yep), in that it reminded me that we weren't quite dead. As a group of fans we have to be able to turn up in numbers and bond occasionally. It might sound a bit tribal, but isn't that a big part of what being a supporter is all about?

Funny you mention that my Mrs reckons I have enough room in there to get my laptop and my six surround sound speakers.

It will be getting on 10000 believe me. Top tier will be open unlike last year and I hear through the grapevine it will be used to show sisu how much we love them

...by showing that if they decide to move us permanently at any stage, it'll be forgotten soon enough?

Or you could argue that the numbers show the potential to be so much bigger than that which they seem to be touting us at?

I'm pretty sure they know we're bigger than 2.5k.

Went last year, but won't be going this year, mainly because I have decided not to attend another game until SISU have gone, even if they somehow come back to the Ricoh.
It's SISU out or nothing for me now.

Depends on the start, 7 points from the first 3 games and thousands will go.
I'll probably go to Swindon the week after instead, been the last 2 years and it's a good day out but MK dons is such a benign atmosphere, the home fans are weird. Like the sort of people that go to hockey or American football.

Really?? So if we're back at the Ricoh and top 6 come May (regardless of likelihood) and needing 3 points at home to someone like Walsall to get an Automatic Spot, you wouldn't go??
Jesus Christ man...you're going to be waiting a long time....no one else wants to buy us...you could be staying a way for a while!

Absolutely not, SISU are not for me. As for potential buyers, agreed there isn't any at the moment, would you deal with SISU?
However, there will be people waiting to pick up the pices when SISU go, mark my words, it's how they go that is the worrying thing.
As for the 3 point scenario, get real it ain't going to happen. SISU aren't going to invest in the playing squad.

To true Steve.
What a day out if sun is shining even better, Need to see if the club will let us in after the game this year?

Though I feel sorry your team is temporarily franchised to my town, that sympathy is stretched when a lot of the fans paid Mr Franchise himself (Winkie) £100k in away tickets.
MK Dons are the original franchise. They started the rot which SISU have continued.
In my eyes they should both be avoided as far as possible. Why not pack out Bedworth or Nuneaton on 23 August...a far better protest and achievement.

Would indeed look good.
Or if non league not an option, we all bog off to watch AFC Wimbledon that day.
Or... if they don't want to get involved, pick a local-ish league team (Oxford? Shrewsbury?) and boost their gate instead.
Could see it now on the football league show and beyond, would be a slightly more imaginative protest... and pick the right side, might even see some half decent football for a change!

I'm planning no away games this season if we continue at Sixfields.
I will listen in if I can but life goes on.
