Slightly OT but for those stones fans like me coming by train and having a drink near MK city centre the club have confirmed to me they are running their matchday buses. Emailed them as on their site it mentioned league games but all good for the FA cup. When did MK become a city? Well there was a Milton Keynes City FC prior to the current lot moving in. Still is, but a youth set up now. |

It failed in a bid for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in 2012 having, allegedly, spent just £116 on its application. Lost out - in England - to Chelmsford.

I believe close to 1000 sold and as MK Dons couldn't play on Sunday (due to stadium commitments) and we therefore lost out on TV money, they have said that we can keep all the money from away tickets sold, plus of course our share of the home tickets, decent of them. Would be great to get 1500 up there.

Those that have bought tickets from MKDons website (as I'm not able to get to the Gallagher) - are they posting tickets out or are they E-tickets?

Answered my own question - Post / Collection.....I know by others comments tickets seem "random" and it will be "flexible seating" but MKDons only offering Row T back on their website....

I think Maidstone applied as well. And we do, sort of have a claim, as (I think) All Saints is the biggest non-cathedral church in England. So, move the qualifying line slightly, and we ARE a city. And before you start, I know it's nothing to do with the size of the building, whether a church is regarded as a cathedral or not! |

I'm also pretty sure Chelmsford fc was Chelmsford City FC for a while even before 2012, so who needs to be officially a city anyway then if a footie team want to add it in/on then why not?!. Go for it Bearsted?! Snodland?! |

The funniest thing is Rochester no longer being a city because the Medway unitary authority forgot to apply.

You don't need a cathedral to be a city. |

And to anyone who goes there on 2nd they will see signs for the city centre. The arrogance and stupidity of the soulless town is breathtaking. However, pedant supplies an answer to the question that is much more accurate. |

You don't need a cathedral to be a city. Similarly, you don't become a city just by having a cathedral, e.g. Arundel |
