On footballgroundguide.com it suggests loads of inconvenient places that one could visit. Anybody chosen a pre-match venue yet?

The BEACON i think is 10 miles fromt he ground according to Footie ground guide. Someone I know from MK says its a bit bland but...

but...

plug?

  Bit of a rush between swilling your last one and getting in at 3 mins to 3, isn't it Gazzza

It's 10 mins Gazza - and yes it is bland - doesnt even have Sky :doh:

Poor!

The one we went in 2 years ago was good

It was. Miles away from "stadium:MK" though

Beacon sounds ok. Whaddya want to do apart from drink?

i would like to discuss the looming cold war and my anal warts

 A good subject....you should be able to get the warts frozen off with liquid nitrogen...works for vaginal warts anyway.....fuck the Cold War

you could call the attack on his warts a cold war after all liquid nitrogen is cold

Time saver tip of the day ... discuss the cold warts?

I hope this info helps and you enjoy your day out here in MK.
Guide to pubs in Milton Keynes:

http://www.mkweb.co.uk/pubs_clubs

StadiumMK is located in the Debigh area of Milton Keynes which is unfortunately lacking in pubs. You should also be aware that although there is a bar in the away end, it closes 30 minutes before kick off on a Saturday and doesn't open for evening games (Licensing Restrictions!)

The Beacon:
The nearest pub to the ground is The Beacon which is generally considered to be the Franchise home pub. If you are not out to cause trouble you will be welcomed there.

With the stadium entrance in front of you and Asda to the right, the pub is located on an industrial estate behind the stadium. From the back of the the stadium cross over the road and go down Dawson Road which is in front of you. At the bottom of Dawson Road turn right into Bond Street and the pub is down on the right, situated next to a small lake.

Two For One, Willen Lake:
Away supporters travelling by coach have been stopping at the Two For One Pub and Restaurant on Willen Lake. There are excellent parking facilities and plenty of room for fans.

Stay on the A421 over several roundabouts until you pick up the brown football stadium signs directing you to the Stadium.

Parking:
There are 2,000 car parking spaces at the stadium, which costs £5 per vehicle. It will usually take you twenty minutes to leave the car park due to congestion.

Alternatively there are numerous free parking spaces on industrial estates East and West of the Stadium. Do not park in Asda or Ikea as you are liable to be wheel clamped.

Travelling by Train

Pre-book train tickets:
http://www.thetrainline.com

The nearest train stations on the Midland Mainline are Bletchley and Milton Keynes Central. The line operates between London Euston and Birmigham:

Milton Keynes:
We advise getting off at Milton Keynes Central Station and getting a taxi to the stadium which would cost approx £5. There are infrequent bus services which are not advised.

Bletchley:
The nearest station which is two miles away from the stadium. It's a 25 minute walk to the stadium. Turn left immediately you come out of the station building and continue to and down the steps. At the bottom of the steps turn left go under the railway bridge. At the roundabout by the Park Pub turn left onto Saxon Street. Keep straight on this road and you will eventually reach the stadium. In places there is no foot path. You will pass Bletchley Bus Station on your right and then the Enigma Pub. Go straight across the double mini roundabout following signs for the A5 and you will see the stadium over on your left.

GET OFF OUR BOARD YOU FRANCHISE SCUM

Hahaha

what about my warts

we'll welcome you warts and all and now I have given you the info you asked for I will leave you to enjoy your board. 

Barrell of laughs aint you

Thank you friendly MK fan.

Best not make me late for X Factor  :eek:

You could record it to be safe. Depends if all that porn took up the space though.

I never found it recorded, you lot are crap with technology :D

Is DV coming? I cant get on here much as work is manic.

I reckon your parents deleted it. We definitely checked the timers.

DV hasn't said anything I don't think.

don't go to that two for one pub it is nice but hardly a football pub more the sort of place you go with you grand mar for sunday lunch

Sounds my sort of pub, whats her name, I'll buy her a drink!!!

Fran Chise

:D Its the way you tell um!!!

Certainly am now I managed to get some cash together!

Ok cool.  Leaving at 10am, text me to say where you want picking up from.  Petrol will only be a tenner!

Only a tenner  :eek:

I can drive over to yours if its easier? not fussed...

I'm sure Lady will let you pay more if you ask nicely!
Makes sense, seeing as its being split between a few of you. I'm thinking £8-£10 each for the 4 of us in my car

I'm quite looking forward to it, in a sick kind of way.

I'm deciding if I want to drink in the car or not.

let me know tomorrow, i don't want to be the only one.

I've decided I will now anyway.

How many do you think we need? I don't want to run out again.

It's only a short trip, I'm guessing 4 will do.

Yeah I was thinking 2 on the way, 2 on the way back.

oh.

yeah, me too.

I think you'll need more than that.

Nah, I'll probably still be topping up from Friday

yeah its fine unless you're being sarcastic?! 

I don't mind getting you from your side of town, just make sure you direct me back and your dog doesn't try and claw my car again!

Im going now.

£10 each for 4 people would fill my car up for a week!!!

Lucky you then.  Mine burns fuel like theres no tomorrow.  Bearing in mind MK is just under a 4 hour round trip, you must have a tiny car.

All i was saying was 40 quid would last me for a week!

Steve am i allowed to drink in your motor veichle

Yes. As long as you're not sick.

No smoking though, that's dirty.........

Ah shit yeah smoking ban

Just say you need a leak go behind a bush and have a quick couple of puffs..

I think they're allowed to smoke outside the car Dell.

A leak stop on the way, not when they get their!!

If i stroke steve's head he may let me stop for a wee wee

It's a 2 hour trip FFS! No stops.

Which is the best way to? up through M40 and poxford or M4, M25, M1? I'm guessing M40 is shorter distance but prob about the same time.

I would have thought Oxford via the a420.....which suites me if we are going that way....you can pick me up from sainsburys....

lucy, got any space in your car, im scared of going with steve ;-)

It'll be fine mate.

i shall be driving, likely with my old man. can someone text me where people are meeting up beforehand? ta loves!

Yep, A420. Drive AROUND Oxford, to the M40, up one junction and then over to MK from there. That's a very vague description of the route which I'm planning to take but have forgotten!I think a lot of us are heading for the Beacon, which is quite near the ground

Sorry mate full car!!!!!!! :O

rightyo man, rightyo! i'll set the sat nav for there.

pain in the fucking arse to find that pub.

called the beacon, well it needs a fucking flashing orange one on the top so you can find the place!

it was dead easy to find. shithole though!

I gave you directions!  It was easy if you followed them!

That has to be one of the most manky, smelly, rotting pubs I have ever been in.

I thought it was good that jerel and patrick were serving in the pub before the game

one of those was a fat mama!
