I know that this venue will be too far to go for a "home'" game for many people and I fully understand. I see this however as an opportunity for many fans who don't usually have the opportunity to visit an away ground to see the team and support them at a new venue. I for one will hope to get a ticket and cheer on the boys!

I saw Spurs play a reserve game against "Wimbledon" at the Hockey Stadium a long time ago. Postiga scored and Redknapp buried a penalty.

Home ST holder, yes I will go.

Cannot condone what MK did but:

1. I would be amazed if we didn't just pay them a fee to use the ground, and ticket sales go to Spurs, i.e. my ticket money goes to Spurs not MK.
2. I support Spurs, I want to see Spurs play
3. I want the loyalty points but don't want to be "that guy" who takes the LPs and doesn't go.

Respect the opinion of those who say they won't go.

Yes I’ll go as it’s about 10 mins from my house so I’ll get home before midnight unlike if it was at Wembley at a stadium that will be 1/3 full

Yes I will go. I support Spurs and it’s not the players or managers fault they will play there. I feel for what they are having to put up with and will be there for them.

To me not going as a protest against MK Dons is either an excuse or cutting our noses off to spite our face. Don’t recall any of this being brought up when the club were looking to buy Dele... club boycott then?

I won't go because I can't, just as I can't go to any midweek game because of work.

ST Holder. Londoner. No chance in hell I'm going to that soulless shithole.

Has anyone every been up there? It's not even close to the train station. It's a bus trip away next to an bloody Asda superstore. Evening game? No chance.

Fuck that.

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.
Some of us have professional jobs and aren't 21 anymore, which means we can't necessarily organise travel up there in time or get back in time, and can't risk ending up stranded in Milton bloody Keynes in the early hours.

I respect supporters who have the time and deidcation to follow the club all round the country and world, but some of us simply can't do it, bit it for work, family or financial reasons.

Why? Because I finish work at 6pm and it takes 1hr 45mins to get there if the stars align so I'd be lucky to make kick off.

It would then take 2hrs 30mins to get home via three buses and two trains!

I will be going - it's actually more local for me but that's beside the point.

I support Spurs and will follow whenever I can.

The MK franchise stuff has long gone as a concern unfortunately. Football is too much about money these days and seeing all this on Sky Sports about the 1.4billion spent by Man City just makes me sick. Is buying reward something that should be applauded? Much prefer our route

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.
The strip club has moved now.....apparently

This is how it worked when Coventry played at Northampton for the season, they just paid a fee for use of the stadium and kept all the of ticket revenue.

No, pretty much solely because I can't do midweek games from Norwich.
