Stadium MK - Will you go?

[NickHSpurs]

So we were drawn against Watford at home and the Club has asked if we can play the game at MK Dons. Bear in mind this will be a midweek fixture, will you go?

Personally I've been a season ticket holder for over 10 years and have hardly missed a game but there's no chance I'm going to this, it's just too difficult midweek and too big of an ask from the Club in my opinion.

It's local to me so I'll probably go assuming the ticket prices aren't ridiculous.

I’ll be there. When Wembley was announced I thought I I’d only go to about half the games. Ended up only missing two games and that was because I was on holiday.

Way too far for me on a school night.

Went up there for the 0-5 cup game with MK a few years back (when they played in that Hockey stadium). Was a good laugh and after full time the streets outside were crawling with girls trying to drum up trade for a local strip club by doing a little bit of 'street performance'... So... I'll probably go, yes.

It's local to me but I'd sooner we play at Hull, or even forfeit the tie, rather than use MK Scums' ground for a home match.

It's far more local to me so i will likely go. It's a nice stadium. Time some people got over the whole Wimbledon thing. I do think they should drop the Dons nickname though, mostly because it's a shit name.

I was at the 5-0 at the Hockey Stadium too. Good night even though I missed the strippers. My only trip to MK Stadium was finishing the MK marathon there. That’s my lot I think. Didn’t go to any cup games last season at Wembley so if I can resist Madrid I can resist this.

Worst bit is I live in Watford and Tottenham, Wembley, Watford and Milton Keynes are all ok to get to.

It's not disintegration of Wimbledon that makes me hate the MK Scums, it's the fact they were and are a franchise football creation which should have had to earn their place in the Football League rather than having it given to them.

If you're a Spurs fan, why wouldn't you want to go? So it's mid-week. I bet you'd make the journey if it was a PL game. We have mid-week games all the time , all over the country (and Europe). You should go - assuming you're in two minds about it - because you love watching Tottenham Hotspur play, irrespective of competition.

What they did to the Wimbledon fans was disgusting and should never have been able to happen. Imagine this happened to us and they moved our club to Bristol.

Can't go to this as I should become a Dad in the days shortly before (or even that day), but as someone who used to live in MK, and now lives about 40 mins away, and has regularly done two hour journeys to get to midweek games in N17 and at Wembley, if I could go I would be all over this. I'd imagine plenty of people in the area will gladly go - not just Spurs or Watford fans - and will be surprised if the game doesn't sell out.

Re the Wimbledon thing, its happened and will never be undone. AFC Wimbledon are now in a much healthier position off the pitch the Wimbledon of old were immediately prior to the relocation. The only thing to be achieved through continuing to boycott MK Dons is to prevent the FA from approving a repeat should similar circumstances arise - which in itself is rather unlikely anyway. I get why so many fans hate MK Dons, and I get why Spurs fans in particular feel a solidarity with AFC Wimbledon fans, but in this instance I do not for the life of me see what good is achieved through refusing to go to what we know would be a one-off game in difficult circumstances created by our own club.

N.B. A little story on the Wimbledon thing: I had a uni mate who was a big Wimbledon fan. Unfortunately we lost him a couple of years ago at no age so I'll never get a chance to take him to task over this or fully understand it. Anyway, while AFC Wimbledon were in the lower echelons of non-league in their early years after their formation, my mate adopted a Premier League team who he continued to have a soft spot for up until he passed away. That Premier League team was Arsenal. The irony!!

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

No but for many many reasons

1 - I'll be in Atlanta
2 - I don't tend to go to early stage league cup games due to home commitments
3 - I'd probably have to take the day off and drive if 1 or 2 weren't applicable as public transport would take 3 hours from the general Dartford area.

 

[mabolsa_ritchey]

Probably. Not far from where I live, and got a mate who wants to drive us there

 

[THX2208]

I live in the North of Ireland so definitely won't be going. Looking forward to the three home Champions League games though

 

[neilp]

It’s just too long a drive to make sense for me going, so it’s a no from me.

 

[aliyid]

I support the Trusts position alongside all other trusts in the country at being against owners relocating teams in a different area of the country. Saying that this isn’t the reason why I will not be going...

I would need to leave at halftime in order to make it home before 6am the following morning

 

[buckley]

no

 

[E8spur]

I usually go to every home game, but won’t be at this one. The MK franchise thing leaves a sour taste to say the least, but tbh the main problem is paying £36 train fare on top of the ticket price to get to a station that is half an hour’s walk away from the ground - and an even more fun half hour walk back at the end of the game. That stadium is a joke for anyone who doesn’t drive.

I usually get tickets for a few of my mates for the league cup and FA cup early rounds so we can all go together - so I’m particularly gutted that the game has been moved somewhere that this really isn’t a viable option.
