Between heaven and hell Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I realise this is still about six weeks away but I can see this being our biggest away league following of the season. Not sure how many tickets we would get but I remember Wolves taking many thousands last year. Out of interest has anyone been there by train because I was looking and it doesn't seem easy, two miles away with limited taxi's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandare 1966 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I will be going and many fans I know say they are going to go will be 5000 + I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of interest has anyone been there by train because I was looking and it doesn't seem easy, two miles away with limited taxi's. Went last year by train, albeit from Northampton. There is a Wetherspoons just up the road from the station, and there is a double decker which picks fans up from the pub and drops at the ground (or just round the corner anyway). I think the bus picks up after the game as well. MK really IS a sh1thole and I for one wanted to return to Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New2City Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Forgive my ignorance, I'm American and new to this, but why would it be boycotted? I'm flying over for 10 days, and this is one the games I'll be able to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between heaven and hell Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I agree it will be well attended but any info on trains would be great from anyone who's been before.

Not sure what the best route would be, also which station there to disembark People make the mistake of getting off off at MK itself then having to come back on themselves to get to the ground and its long walk/taxi journey. However there is a number of pubs in the Centre. Bletchley is the closer stop to the stadium and there is 3/4 pubs around the station however if they are away friendly I cannot help with but I would be very surprised if one wasn't.

Red Ferret Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Forgive my ignorance, I'm American and new to this, but why would it be boycotted? I'm flying over for 10 days, and this is one the games I'll be able to attend. A small financially troubled team called Wimbledon from SE London were bought out and moved across the country to Milton Keynes where they were rebranded as MK Dons. A bit like some of the franchise stuff in the States where teams relocate from city to city. It's not common over here though where people are a bit more traditionalist when it comes to football, so it caused a lot of uproar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the best route would be, also which station there to disembark Depends where you live. Bristol to Paddington / Tube to Euston / Euston to Bletchley. Station very close to stadium. Also similar for north east Somerset. If you live Gloucester area go via Birmingham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puckle_red Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 When I was younger and didn't understand the take over and the situation I went to the old hockey stadium. Now I refuse to acknowledge MK as a football club and will therefore boycott this one. A vile modern stadium too. Hopefully we get 3 points.

Aaron-Bcfc Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Definitely one I'll be going to. Boycotting it doesn't even enter my mind, I'm there to support Bristol City in what will be a massive game. The players will need our support in this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably don't even go to home games so you won't be missed!! Well I think fans who care about the true traditions and heritage of our game and despair about certain elements of modern football are NOT "******* assholes" - they are to be admired for boycotting certain events and standing up for institutions such as Wimbledon FC and they DO go to home games and they WILL be missed. I despair more at the people who just go to the 'big' away games and condemn people who choose not to for very good reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Forgive my ignorance, I'm American and new to this, but why would it be boycotted? I'm flying over for 10 days, and this is one the games I'll be able to attend.In this country football clubs traditionally were, unofficially, protected assets of the borough/town/city that formed them. MK Dons are the spawn of the opposite of that. I thoroughly agree City fans should support City but I'll never go to MK. *One of my best mates is a AFC Wimbledon (the re-formed original club) so I do feel quite strongly about this. Hope it never happens to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hortonred Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I can fully understand the views expressed on this topic.But I would have thought that taking three points off them was a better punishment than boycotting the game..And not getting behind the boys at this game will impact on City and help them..So I will be going.

That was just last seasons excuse for some not to go. Now we are top of the league, I doubt you'll find to many taking any moral high ground and missing out on this one.
