MK Dons v Stockport County - 16/09/2023

Review by Stockport County fan Helen Giles

Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?

It’s close to home and wanted to see the large stadium.

How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?

Travelled by car and it was nice and easy.

If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?

The stadium itself has lots of parking which is excellent, and a decent price.

Where did you eat on your away day and was it good value?

We just ate at a nearby McDonalds!

What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?

Expensive! £3 for a bottle of fizzy pop! I guess they had to make up for an empty stadium!

What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?

View was great, seats were great lovely and padded plenty of space. Couldn’t fault it at all. Apart from when booking you chose your seats and then once there they tell you to sit anywhere, not good when you’re planning with a child.

What was the atmosphere like during the match?

Excellent we rocked the stadium and could hardly hear the home fans!

How friendly were the home fans out of 10?

8/10

How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?

Really easy we sang our way out down the stairs and into the carpark.

How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?

Very good value as the tickets were half price, parking was £8.50, petrol around £30 so under £100 for a family of 3 including food and drinks.

Would you recommend this away day to other fans?

Yeah I would, the stadium is good and clean, plenty of room

MK Dons v Ipswich Town - 12/02/2022

Review by Ipswich Town fan Jamie Green

Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?

The game isn’t a million miles from where I live.

How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?

We drove. Nice and easy to go from Essex straight up the A14.

If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?

I paid £8 for parking in a business park down the road around a 15 minute walk from the stadium.

Where did you eat on your away day and was it good value?

We ate at an Indian in Milton Keynes down the road but lots of restaurants available around the stadium.

What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?

The stadium is a marvel and one that warrants a championship club, not a club like MK Dons. We took nearly 8,000 fans to this game and the MK Dons fielded only 9,000.

What was the atmosphere like during the match?

The home fans were absolutely awful, no atmosphere at all. The stadium is too big for the club. We made the atmosphere bounce throughout the game.

How friendly were the home fans out of 10?

10/10 – Didn’t have any issues.

How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?

It was very easy to leave post match with doors opened for us, allowing a heavy flow leaving the stadium.

How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?

£25-50

Would you recommend this away day to other fans?

Only if your club is big enough to provide atmosphere, otherwise don’t bother as the dons fans don’t sing at all.

MK Dons v Plymouth Argyle - 15/10/2022

Review by Plymouth Argyle fan Ben Yeoman

Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?

Been to most away games this season and is one I haven’t been to before. Was looking forward to it because there were 2,700 other members of the green army there!

How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?

We travelled to the game by car and it was very easy to get to!

If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?

We booked the MK Dons car park online which was very easy to find, access and park! The price was £8 but highly recommend for easy parking.

Where did you eat on your away day and was it good value?

Outside the ground there are several restaurants which include: TGI Fridays, Nando’s, KFC, McDonalds, Papa Johns and much more. Really good for food and drink outside the ground.

What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?

Lots of kiosks inside the ground. They have bars for just drink or normal kiosks for food and drink. They have hot dogs, burgers pies. Lots of snacks and a range of drinks. Good selection.

What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?

Unbelievable away end! The ground is amazing, Premier League quality. Shame they only had 8,000 fans out of a 30,000 capacity ground, as that really spoils it. Stewards were good even though the fans let off 3-4 pyros. And the view is from the corner of the bowl shaped stadium!

What was the atmosphere like during the match?

NO HOME ATMOSPHERE! It’s amazing when the home teams have a gold atmosphere to match the away end but was shocking, no noise from the fans. The away end was unbelievable though… it felt like we were at home! 2,700 fans for a 8 hour round trip!
