Are you driving or training it? what's the pub situation like there? I assume there is bugger all near the actual stadium? I think I read that Bletchley is closer than MK Central - I'll probably walk from the station either way, unless the wife does her Christmas Shopping in MK during the day and I can get a lift  We're driving down. Usually park in one of the industrial estates around the ground. There's a bar/pub in the ground that we went in last time, but think there's a load of places around the ground now to eat, not so sure about pubs (i'm old & don't drink much nowadays) |

The spoons in Bletchley is one of the better ones from what I remember.
Well named as well. About a half mile from the station.

Trip to Bletchley sold out.
Not sure if that's just the initial allocation of 812 or if more will be made available.

Good. DNA fancies a day out as I have never been there, driven by many times in my sales and courier career and he’s not being a pup so to speak. |

The Stadium is in Bletchley, the walk would be quite a treck. There are places near the stadium to get a drink but they are all chain restaurants like TGI etc.
Nearest place near the train station for a drink would be Weatherspoon's.
Bletchley does have a train station, but the area around it like pubs etc can be a bit iffy.
#sorry just read its your local game!
If you are getting off at Bletchley, you could always pop a few stops up to Woburn Sands - pub right next to the station - Station Tavern. And if you are getting off at Bletchley I would highly recommend getting there early and crossing the road and spending a couple of hours at the Bletchley Park Museum - Enigma Code Breakers etc |

Good turn out that, hopefully we can take a few more if we get a few more wins before then. |

I still think 3k isn't unrealistic. Given some of the more local games have such a restriction, Franchise is probably the best 'local' option that has an almost unrestricted away section. |

And home selection! Absolute white elephant of a stadium in a town that does not really like football and has no history as a town or a football club. A 6,000 average attendance from 6 games so far in a stadium that can seat 31,000 is pretty embaressing, thats under 20% occupancy of seats, or the equivalent of the CG averaging just 3,000. Harrogate average 50% of their 4,100 capacity, Crawley 55% of their 6,100 and even Salford 52% of their 5,100 capacity. MK Dongs must be losing so much money. We can hope. |
