Should be around 800-850 with pay on the day . Which is still a solid following
It’s not the best due to where Winkleman decided to build the stadium. At least at the Hockey Stadium it was in the city centre, next to the railway station and good links to both A5D and M1. Then you had drinking places in CMK.
The ground is 20-25 mins walk from Bletchley, but around an hours walk from CMK.
Personally I’d stick to the Bletchley/Fenny Stratford area for drinking. It’s closer and you’re more likely to get old boozers as these towns were there long before MK.
The closest pub to the ground is the Inn On The Lake next to the industrial area at Mount Farm. I don’t know how receptive they are to having away fans though as a few years back they stopped letting them in after Wolves fans smashed their beer garden up. After the game in March we went in there and there were a few Walsall fans so you may be ok.
There’s Captain Ridley’s (Wetherspoons) in Bletchley as well as the Conservative Club.
In Fenny Stratford there’s The Swan which I saw a Walsall minibus outside the last time we played them. There’s also The Chequers on Watling Street and The Red Lion down by the cut.
As @WeYamTheMods says there’s also Blackened Sun Brewery (open from 1pm) which is in an industrial estate right next to the A5D junction which means you can take that straight down 2 junctions and then get off the A5D right next to Stadium MK.
Also if you’re coming down the A5 there’s loads of pubs and a brewery (Towcester Mill) as well as a tap room (Have I Got Brews For You) in Towcester and loads of pubs (and another HIGBFY branch) in Stony Stratford (including the famous “The Cock” and “The Bull”). And the MK Biergarten in Wolverton.
I did that last season, longer than you think
Is it definitely pay at the gate
Tickets are bought from the away collection window, but it’s right next to the away gates.
Heres a full list of upcoming televised games up to the turn of the year, 12 in all comps …
Leaving aside the dodgy stick argument at £26 quid a month Its much better value than the old way of watching, given that you get all the other sport thrown in for nowt with Walsall games at circa £6.50 each.
Even better if you share cost. For another £6 a month, you can have 3 logins going at once. They also reduce costs if you threaten to cancel your subscription. I’m at about £30 a month and share it with one other household so it works out about £15 a month.
Inexpensive but quite threatening to match attendances in the long run imo.
Think you will need what that call superboost now to get 3 logins .for new subscription. The new terms are standard subscription 1 user. boost £6 2users superboost 3 users .we have boost £6 which was 3 users till they bought but in this superboost they upgraded us to super boost for no extra charge but think that will end when present 𝐒ubscripion runs out .think they have cotton on to people sharing hence the changes .standard subscription used to be two logins now it’s only one .
Same, free upgrade. As soon as you click on cancel, they’ll reduce prices.
Only 340 tickets for Grimsby?
That is initial allocation, right?
Yeah assume so. We took about that on NYD last year
Dunno but I will be there
Same
Bought
And me. I’d be amazed if we cant have as many tickets as we want for this within reason. The club sometimes have to pay upfront for tickets so probably took the minimum then other sales on the day maybe? I don’t know just speculating.
I’ll be there anyway, we want six, we want six
