Anyone going?? Even if we don't results against Lu'on and Wrexham I'll still be going. What else is there to do on Good Friday. Someone was saying there's a pub not far from the ground. Anyone know any info about that?

Come on Pie man, Good Friday's are usually pants. Chuck in an away game and a few pints, three points, and a nice short journey home and it'll be a cracking days entertainment for all.

I really am skint at the moment. As well as committing to a holiday in florida that will cost £2k all in, my car is going to cost me over £600 today.
Add that to my opinion that our season is over, it can mean only one thing - I wont be going to sunny MK.

Right if you are after pubs near the Hockey Stadium you have a choice of going to the mega bowl, which is a couple of minutes walk, there is a bar in there, but seriously I wouldn't really consider that an option.
If you are after cheap drinks then there is a huge weatherspoons about five minutes walk from the ground, if you face the town centre from the stadium you will be looking at Staples, which is very close to where I work, the road to the right of staples is Silbury Boulevard, the next road along is Midsummer Blvd, this is where spoons is.
If you walk up this road for a couple of minutes you will come across spoons on your left, if you consider spoons to be a litte quiet you can carry on up the road for another couple of minutes, on the right you will find a Lloyds No. 1, an All Bar One, and a Slug and Lettuce. These three are located in a building called the Winter Gardens if you need to ask for directions.
Any other pubs are basically up the other end of Town in the Snow Dome and Theater District, so are not really viable for you.
Anyone thinking of using the train is in luck as the ground is next door to the station, though I'm not sure of routes because I've never been to Swindon on the train. I suspect you will have to go into London and up to MK from there.

Driving down, but cheers for the info about the pubs. Probably go for the 5 minute walk to the Wetherspoons. Is that near an office complex?

Thanks for that Whits.
I'm going with Reeves for King and Super Taff. Probably will be my last away game this season unless we makes the PO's. Quite fancy Hull though.

Student Ticket for sale, 20 quid. Any takers? Do I have to go? I'd rather scratch my father's bollocks.
