[Taybha]

So now everyone has their tickets, how are you all getting there and where are the away fans meeting up? Torn between train from Three Bridges or coach? there will be 4 of us.

We will be walking from Newhaven to Milton Keynes to raise awareness of the tragic haircuts of today's professional footballers , stopping off at regular Barber shops to hang posters of top offenders along the way , you are more than welcome to join us , I say us its just me at the moment really .

I do love hearing people from mk rewrite history.

Back in 1999/2000 I worked on a huge construction project in mk. At one meeting with the council leader and the director of environmental services, they talked about plans for a new 'soccer' stadium (their words not mine). When I asked who it was for, they said they didn't care as they would easily attract someone. Luton and Northampton were quoted as well as Wimbledon.

This wasn't some coincidence that it was Wimbledon, it was a premeditated plan to attract a club.

I blame the FA, who should have just said no and should have told them to form a non league club and work their way up through the leagues.

Can you point me in the direction where someone from MK has?

As I said in my first post, the talk of Wimbledon moving to MK was mooted back in the late 70's. Well before your project.

So now everyone has their tickets ....

Not all, some may be hopeful of POTG [aka on the day] as advanced planning not feasible.

Will this be likely or will it be advanced ticket only?

Doubt we've even sold 1-2k yet. Just the upper tier of our allocation taken so far no?

Despite the bitter taste left behind when Wimbledon was picked up and dropped down in Milton Keynes, I do think there has to come a point when it becomes 'live and let live'.

I know there will be many who will disagree with that - I both understand and respect that. I'll try and explain...

There will be young kids, of similar ages to many of our own children, for whom MK Dons is and had always been their club. They've been brought up as MK Dons fans in the same way as my kids have been brought up to be Albion fans. They will have the same passions and emotions about their club and, hopefully, will keep the football bug as they get older. I don't believe they deserve scorn from the rest of the football world for the rest of their supporting lives. They had no involvement in the moving of the club, and were pretty much born into this.

we HAVE to take the full 6k allocation - this season more than any other.

It will be a slow burner with no imperative to snap up tickets early.

Depending on how we go over the next few games we have obvious potential to take 4K, 5K + ...

 

[JonnyComeEarly]

Teams have taken 7k-9k over the last couple of seasons - id be seriously underwhelmed if we don't take all 6k - sat 3pm, not far, cheap as chips, decent stadium for views etc, challenging for promotion!

I agree entirely. And not just for the kids - but for all involved.

Has the embargo on Toys-R-Us also been lifted now?

Tickets already arrived. One day after buying them.

Well to be fair we, Blues Away, have already sold out two coaches and on our way to the the third, there has been really good interest in this, admittedly the coach prices, have had a lot to do with it.

 

[cybrooksy]

Just made my purchase. I wanna experience the same atmosphere as Fulham all over again.

My memory fades but was it not MK where there was a 20 minute left side right side ding dong which included the stewards

Yes correct, was our first appearance there, a boring 0-0 and Barndoor Davies got a bit of slack from the away end for missing chances.

We took 4000 when it was a tenner and we were at Withdean. With 25000 crowds we should sell out

A lot of people preferred going away in those days as Withdean was so poor. I'm not convinced we'll sell more.

The large home crowds don't mean bigger away followings - see the piss poor turnout at Hull on tuesday.
