Most of my early experiences of Walsall away games were in the back of a transit van with a milk crate as a seat if you were lucky. Or sometimes Iā€™d be lucky enough to sit in the front with Leachy driving. Happy days.

And 6 under the tarpaulin in the back rattling about with the scaffolding poles :joy:

1500 hundred fans represents 25% of our home attendance, just an outstanding effort by our great fans.
Lets hope the team will give them something to shout about!

Does anybody know if The Dolphin pub allows away fans to drink in?

Do they make a ford transit with drop down oxygen masks do you know . :dash:

Not since they knocked it down, along with Goscote Boys Club!

Proper answer: I donā€™t know sorry.

I was going to post the same but thought better of it lol. Place is ā€˜betterā€™ for.

Just looked where that was - stoke Hammond? Yeah Iā€™d imagine so only usually town centre pubs or those by the ground that restrict custom, probably wonā€™t be any MK fans in there!

Its one in Bletchley i was thinking off going too, where are others going pre match?

Probably the Wetherspoons by the station

My first thought was that Dolphin as well.

There are 3 Dolphins.
Stoke Hammond, Newport Pagnell and Bletchley.

I assume heā€™s talking about the Bletchley one on Whaddon Way.

A lot of the pubs in Bletchley are for ā€œlocal peopleā€ so maybe not. :woozy_face:
Worth a try though.

Parking at Bletchley station and going in the Park or Working Mans Club is an option.

Iā€™m personally heading to Captain Ridleyā€™s for breakfast and then pubs in Fenny.

We lived in the flats just behind, on Dolphin Close in the early 80ā€™s before moving to Pleck.

My mom and dads local back in the day, i remember driving past the Barley Mow one day and dad saying ā€œyou were conceived behind there sonā€ :nauseated_face:

Werenā€™t they supposed to be in the premier league by now? Iā€™m sure that was Winklemanā€™s grand plan when he was on his mass PR drive 20 years ago to justify the move.

Yo-yoing between leagues 1 and 2 with still sub 10k crowds for vast majority of league games while Wimbledon had to do the very hard yards in the combined counties league and now play infront of 7-8k most weeks. 9 points between them in the football pyramid.

It was wrong what happened but Iā€™d have a tiny bit more respect for Franchise if theyā€™d started right at the bottom and worked their way up, think theyā€™d have grown their fanbase a little bit more doing that aswell.

1-1 today.
