Jesus Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Lets make this an amazing atmosphere. Full of colour and passion. Why don't we all bring our scarves and show them what real fans are like!!! Any chance we can bring the big surfer flag that we paid for but hasn't been seen since....

Phileas Fogg Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Two great ideas - was just discussing this on the MK tickets thread about the surfer. Would love an atmosphere like Charlton away in playoff season (ok minus the pyro although that did add to the atmosphere..) It's probably impossible with such a large following, but would love there to be an unwritten understanding that standers go to the back, and sitters to the front. Feel this helps the atmosphere and keeps everyone happy. Flags (hey we can bring the ULTRAS one), scarves, surfer flag - should be fantastic.

Hopefully it's a chilly day so people bring them anyway! Only downside is we don't have a unique scarf raising song that I can think of, a slower unique anthem.

Having not been to MK before, does anyone know how strictly they try and enforce people going to the designated area as this will impact the likelihood of people moving? Also I am guessing this may be harder to organise with the two tiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I am guessing this may be harder to organise with the two tiers. You're probably right, I would imagine as a fairly modern all-seater and with our large following it won't be possible. I have no idea where my ticket places me really, hopefully nearer the back so I can stand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fodbarmyarmy Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 But I thought the "Real" fans aren't going to this one? likewise they won't be going to Wembley? So confused now..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Everyone who has a flag, bring it. If you have a scarf, bring it, wear red/purple. Might bring the 2003 LDV flag if I can find it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Wolves fan mate of mine said they were definitely put in their correct seats and a few got hassled when they weren't doing as instructed. Hopefully it won't be a massive issue but wouldn't be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard the same from some Coventry fans up here, Mk stewards acting like power crazy dictators and insisting people move, several thrown out for arguing !

That was exactly what he said. About half of his group were thrown out, some managed to talk their way out of it being permanent but overly aggressive for sure.

Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I imagine you'll have to be in the correct tier but other than that if there are 5k fans in the wrong seats nothing mk stewards can do I suppose my point was it depends how MK stewards act from the start. If they control access through the vestibules so that people are only directed to their block (as city do for the Williams) this will restrict the ability to mix. This will then encourage many more city fans to go to the correct seat meaning the chances of an "informal understanding" are much reduced. This is multiplied when its considered many of those who will be looking to stand will enter the stadium/seating area until the last minute. We will also have a big crowd meaning there will be those who are less aware of the normal "informal understanding". Its also worth pointing out when Man Utd visited earlier this season (albeit in less numbers), MK stewards were very insistent on getting their fans to be in the correct seats.

Both would look awesome with the scarves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cider-manc Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I know that you buy specific seats and then you should sit in them. But it is frustrating no end for people like myself who buy tickets individually and then meet up with mates on the day and then can't sit with them. Especially as you don't know what seat you are getting until the tickets arrive through your door. I wish the club could at least offer two options- Front and back of the stand. Then people could follow the unwritten rule of standing at the back and seated at the front. The club wouldn't even have to specify this was the reason. I didn't sit in my seat at MK last season (admittedly a smaller following) but did have to show my ticket as I entered the stand to be allowed through the correct gate to the correct block. However they did this at Wolves as well and I still didn't sit in my specified seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'll be bringing my scarf and hope everyone else does the same. I would imagine the vast majority of those at the game would also have attended West Ham, so they should have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
