6k away tickets at MK Dons £12 adults £1 U18s

[Peter Grummit]

I have emailed Southern suggesting extra services between East Croydon and MK that day. Probably nothing will come of it but no harm in trying

Good move. They may have scope to strengthen ie lengthen trains more easily than running more services which means more paths on the network and higher track access charges. They ought to have more rolling stock available at weekends, but one constraint is it needs to be dual voltage stock to run on the West London line, as the 3rd rail changes to Overhead Line in the Wormwood Scrubs region, from memory.

What makes me chuckle is the sheer plastic GIMPERY of that two bob club.

"OVER 16K TICKETS SOLD FOR FAMILY FUN DAY" scream their website and official Twitter account. No mention at all that this figure includes the 6,000+ coming from Brighton.

So they're virtually giving away tickets to the locals who have no travel considerations whatsoever - and they've shifted about 10,000. It's really not all that impressive is it?




I doubt we'll shift 10,000 (see above)

Even if we lose will make more noise than the franchise daytrippers

 

[goldstone rocks]

Top effort so far, is it lower blocks 23 and 24 which we have been given as extra?

Block O25 just released and can be booked on line

 

[Gazwag]

Do you know any other Albion in Cov/Midlands?

Quite glad I'm heading there from the other direction. Nice 30 min trip on a quiet Virgin train from Coventry....

[Whitechapel]

Praying that going via Ford and nice and early (11:20 arrival at MK) will mean the trains aren't too busy. Here's hoping.

Does the train actually stop at Coventry on match days?

Awful, Mickey Mouse organisation.

I noticed Piglet's Pantry opening up a Twitter/Facebook vote as to which should be the guest pie for the away fans. I've no wish to denigrate Piglet's, but having bought my match ticket (and hopefully they won't make much on that, given their operating costs vs the low sale price) I don't intend to give a single penny more of my money to Winkleman & Milton Keynes FC, so I won't be buying one, whichever it is. Would be quite nice to see lots of people refusing to give them any cash.

7K would be incredible (biggest Albion away following since Newcastle 1979?) - but 6.5K+ (and the same record?) looks very likely now.

Given the availability of tickets there must be plenty of people like me who haven't got round to buying theirs yet.

I think we took 5,000 to Newcastle. Forgetting Cup matches, this will be the largest league following I can remember.

Sure we took more than that to Tottenham back in the 80's

Slightly before my days of away travel.

I thought it was closer to 10k to Newcastle, which to this day is the biggest away attendance ever at st James

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

'Wrong Direction' & I were going to get the last couple of tickets for this game.
After last nights spineless performance we will give it a miss
