Bilo Posted 2 January 2009 Share Posted 2 January 2009 When do tickets go on sale for this one? I can see this being a cracker of a game if the league situation is still the same at the end of Feb. Also, can we see there being a boycott of this one due to their Franchise status? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Part Of The Crowd Posted 2 January 2009 Share Posted 2 January 2009 i can help you with the allocation news you will probably be given 2000 tickets initially with a second allocation of 1,650 if needed, if long advance is given we could do what we did with leeds and allocate you another 1,300 tickets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent pubs near the stadium? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fosse Boy Posted 2 January 2009 Share Posted 2 January 2009 I might go down to Havant & Waterlooville v AFC Wimbledon on that day if anyone's interested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any decent pubs near the stadium? leeds had an extra allocation and about 5,100 turned up the only pub mildly near the stadium is the beacon, it is a large pub but quite souless but alot of fans congregate there, it is about a 5 minute walk from the stadium either along a lakeside path or through an industrial estate, other than that there are lots of pubs in 10 - 15 minutes walking distance in fenny stratford and bletchley, be extremely careful with pubs in fenny stratford as a new fad for gay pubs has turned up and there are about 5 of them which i am sure would be mortifying for football fans to unwittingly walk into, there are no designated 'home and away' pubs in milton keynes and there are busses to the stadium from most area's of MK so it is easy to find somewhere uncrowded to drink, there is also a weatherspoons in the city centre just 2 minutes walk from the central milton keynes station the stadium itself is actually alot closer to bletchley trainstation so if you are going to go by train it is easier to get off there (+ there are more pubs on route) allow a good half an hour walking time from either station if you do decide to walk that way and you will have to get directions as the stadium is well out from the centre and is not very well signposted from within the town (or city, whatever they call it now) if you are driving it is pretty much impossible to miss from the road, you travel towards it either off the m1 and through the city or you get onto the A5 and you can see it from a long way off, if you go past just go to the next junction or roundabout and turn round, word of advice - when parking park in the nearby industrial estate (mount farm) it is by the beacon pub and most of the parking there is not charged, some people park a van infront of a company car park and charge you, do not feel worried about being towed or clamped there unless you park in front of access, the stadium parking is a rip off comparatively (£5) and due to its size (5,000 cars is what they tell us) it is quite hard to get out of, most of it is tarmaced but part is still slightly muddy so it could turn into a mire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a radio in with you, I'm sure most of the AFC fans will be hoping for an away win as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope so, I feel undervalued and would at least like to bring some friends to the game for free, not that they'd be able to sit with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Boy Posted 2 January 2009 Share Posted 2 January 2009 Is anyone boycotting?I'm not, but some people have mentioned it before. I'm more than likely to. If I do decide to give Wankleman a bit of coke money and go though, then I might consider taking an anti-Franchise banner in to their stadium or something similar.

Awesome stuff. http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?ref=sb#...?gid=2215308524 Apparently there were vast numbers of Man U, Chelsea and Arsenal shirts in the Franchise end at Wembley!
