Not sure I agree on that. They're probably gonna average 3500+ at home this season.

 

[Scum.]

Carlisle by far the best attendance this weekend.

That's only because they don't Boycott your place like some of ours still do. I personally don't, but know plenty who refuse to give you money and stay away when we've played you.

Depends if we're including Thursday as this weekend or not.

MK Dons v Carlisle 4th best attended with Carlisle 2nd best away support.

I more meant in terms of distance etc, given it’s 4-5 hours from Milton Keynes. Grimsby at Notts also impressive for sure, missed that one.

Jeez, how pathetic. I bet those same weirdos are still sore we won a trophy of the paint against you 16 years ago too?

I went last time , it was empty but a lovely ground . My main issue was the warm beer served in cans and no possibility of a kebab after the game in the gridded system . I asked a couple of locals in the weatherspoons over there if there were any but they said 'the kebab van' isn't around on Tuesday nights . Maybe it's better at the weekend - it was my first visit to a popworld since being a student about 25 years ago felt old in there .

My main issue is that they put us right up at the top of the stand and separated the 600 or so of us across a few blocks. I also like having a walk to the ground if I go via train but this was a pain in the arse in Milton Keynes. People were beeping at me for crossing roads, no idea what the hell that was all about. Google Maps doesn't seem to direct you very well on foot around that place. I get that it's a nice newish stadium but all in all MK Dons away is a thumbs down from me Jeff. Nothing to do with all the Franchise stuff either, I'm over all that. Much prefer a packed tin shed away in the middle of a town.

Tbf we have put away fans back in the lower tier now.

Definitely agree it’s not a great away day though.

I'll still be going this season, hoping with it being on a Saturday we'll take a few more but it's right at the end of the season and I think the chances of us being involved at either end of the table are fairly remote. Good to hear fans are being housed lower down though.

Weirdo here!

Not bothered about paint either tbh

Ohh I'm with you there I just prefer the old school grounds more in general .

But I do think inside MK is better than a lot of new build grounds , if they either got bigger crowds or the ground was smaller it would be pretty smart as it's pretty enclosed and probably could be a decent atmosphere - much better than Colchester , Shrewsbury , Oxford or Doncaster off the top of my head which i have been to in the last few years .

Yeah the being up in the sky and spread out thing was strange I agree .

Tbh we should just close the corners and stick home fans in 3 sides of the ground. That alone has made a difference before even with crowds of 5,000-10,000. Unfortunately, we have some people who love sitting in the corner who keep refusing to move and the club is scared of upsetting these folk so we only do it for cup games (and the play offs this year).

Hopefully the new owners see sense as it not only looks better with the corners closed, but is more cost effective from a stewarding and policing perspective (as well as said atmosphere improvements).

Okay guys, I've added last season's average attendances for Fleetwood (h) & Morecambe + Walsall (a)

 

[BlackHaddock]

I've watched us play MK Dons at four different grounds, Crystal Palace (were you already MK Dons then?), a hockey pitch in MK, your new stadium and at Wembley. Oh and I'm weird too!

Weird maybe, but not weird enough to miss your team play thankfully.

We were still Wimbledon at Palace. We were also still Wimbledon in 2003/2004 when we were playing in MK at the Hockey Stadium. Moved to Stadium:MK for the 2007/2008 season (also the season we won the league and set a record breaking away record under Ince which feels a lifetime ago).

Surely 5 if you count home games too, unless you've somehow missed one of the 5 games we've been to Cleethorpes for?

Correct, never seen you in North East Lincs. Haven't lived that way since I was 9 years old and I go to many more away games than home ones.

More than fair then!

 

[F!RTHY]

Walsall have allocated 2,000 for our visit on the 14th Sept.

We rarely travel well to the Bescot, but if we keep up this fine form, I think we’ll come close to selling out.

Lucky bastard, my first Town game was when I was 10 or 11 so if I’d moved from the area at 9 years old I might well have grown up not supporting this shower of shit.
I blame my old man for first taking me, just like i blame myself for the years of utter misery my lad has had watching Town and still has a lifetime more to look forward to.
