Review by Morecambe fan Ollie
Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?
I chose this game because I enjoy away days more than home games and I thought it was going to be a good match.
How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?
I drove. Bit painful as you have to drive right down into Chester area then across but once past the roadworks on the M6 it’s ok.
If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?
I parked on the same street as the away end. Easy.
Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?
Wetherspoons in a nearby village. Good value and on the way into Birkenhead so good location too.
What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?
I didn’t have any but the pies looked really good.
What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?
View was good. It was a Tuesday night game so we were told to choose any seat.
What was the atmosphere like during the match?
Loud at times but not very constant.
How friendly were the home fans out of 10?
4/10. There were scraps after the game with teenage lads waiting for Morecambe fans outside the gates which was intimidating for young children.
How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?
Easy as where we parked was fairly convenient.
How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?
£40 for tickets, £30 in fuel and £15 in Wetherspoons. Not bad.
Would you recommend this away day to other fans?
Yes, 100%! Apart from the teenagers at the away end gates, it’s a cracking away day and very close to the M53.
Review by MK Dons fan Pete Williams
Why did you choose to go to this game and why were you looking forward to it?
I go to all the Dons games although having been to Tranmere a number of times and always enjoyed it, whatever the result, I was especially looking forward to this game.
How did you travel to the game and how easy was it?
Travelled by car with a friend and the journey was easy as most of it was by motorway.
If you drove, was it easy to find car parking and make your way to the stadium?
We arrived at approximately 12pm and therefore managed to find a car park space just a short walk away from the ground.
Which pubs did you go to before the game and what was the atmosphere like?
Visited the Fan Zone tent and enjoyed a few excellent pints of beer. Bit cold to begin with but warmed up a bit when the Home fans arrived. Very good atmosphere and we had a wonderful discussion about other grounds visited with a Tranmere fan.
What did you think of the food and drink available inside the ground?
Had a meat pie in the ground which was excellent. 2 pies & a coffee came to £10-50 which considering the quality of the pies is good value.
What did you think of the away end and your view of the game?
Great views and plenty of room to move about.
What was the atmosphere like during the match?
I was rather disappointed by the lack of noise from the Tranmere fans during the match as I know they can be loud. I suspect it was because the Dons bossed the game (65% possession with 24 shots on goal against just 5 shots by Tranmere) and it seemed that only our 340+ fans made some noise. Getting a 97th minute winner certainly helped the atmosphere in the away end!
How friendly were the home fans out of 10?
10/10.
How easy did you find it to get away from the stadium after the game?
Just a short walk back to the car with no problems getting back to the motorway.
How much did you spend in total on this away day? Was it good value for money?
Food, drink, OAP ticket and petrol came to about £73 so I suppose I should cut back on the drink!!!
Would you recommend this away day to other fans?
Very much so. Good food & drink with great views on the pitch and friendly fans.
Is there anything else you want to tell us about your day?
Prior to the match one of our fans became ill and needed the assistance of the stewards. They were wonderful and sorted him out. A credit to their club.
