I went on my own last year, with one of the worst hangovers of my life. Got to the 'stadium', realised I didn't have any cash, trudged over to the cashpoint only for the "insufficient funds" message to pop up.
Managed to get £20 off a credit card, 1 pint in 'spoons and I was pissed again.

Then Smith missed the penalty and the bus to oxford was choc-full of MK 'supporters'.

Post by: reeves4england on Monday, September 26, 2005, 16:58:22
Inside info!

I watched Blackpool vs Franchise this week

Their keeper is pretty crap
Their defence is unorganised but big
The midfield is undone by pace (ie play Shakes!)

I think it was McLeod (#10) who is a diving, whinging cunt that got them a penalty in the first half for nothing  :evil:

Naturally i was supporting blackpool with MK one of the few teams below us this year!


Title: Franchise...
Post by: sonicyouth on Monday, September 26, 2005, 17:00:46
The only team below us.

Relegation dogfight on Saturday, wahey!


Title: Franchise...
Post by: DiV on Monday, September 26, 2005, 17:09:21
Iffy will get them up for it....


Title: Franchise...
Post by: reeves4england on Monday, September 26, 2005, 17:12:02
Hopefully
Iffy could be the spark we need.
He has a passion for the club which is something that may bear fruit


Title: Franchise...
Post by: Kinky Tom on Monday, September 26, 2005, 17:14:00
Iffy will pick a team willing to look for goals.

I invisage a 4-4-2 with both Shakes and Nicolau and perhaps a midfield of Pook and McDermott.

I know that's a young midfield, but Pook and McDermott are both hard workers and will provide the cover for Nicky and Ricky to get forward.


Title: Franchise...
Post by: Leggett on Monday, September 26, 2005, 18:19:48
and maybe, just maybe, roberts will get a start? i know he was a bit insignificant on saturday, but curo and thorpe havent done anything of great measure and are still getting the nod ahead of him!


Title: Franchise...
Post by: fatbury on Monday, September 26, 2005, 18:34:48
I anticipate after the mauling by Doncaster .. an ultra defensive 5-4-1 for MK

Post by: DMR on Monday, September 26, 2005, 20:50:04
A better bet if you arrive a bit earlier is to make the slightly further walk to the Wetherspoons located behind Abbey's head office. I stress arriving earlier as this pub gets extremely busy in the hour prior to kick off time. It's located just up Midsummer Boulevard (the road going up from the railway station towards the central shopping area).

I recommend we all go to the one next to Chiquitos - it's a huge pub, and I'll be amazed if it's that busy, it never is apart from Friday lunchtimes - the other one is a Lloyds and isn't nearly so big, also there's more room outside the larger one.
