The team didn't go 'down' just that MK Dons stepped right 'up' in the second half. I left feeling extremely proud of the whole club and fans, which when losing 4-1 is a very good place to be 😀

The two division difference showed, I'm afraid. We played well first half, and (I thought) pretty well second half, but the difference was just too great. We went at them in the first half and rattled them, but they came out in the second determined to win, and didn't ease up until they got their goal. Even then they were constantly getting past us, and it was only the usual stunning display from Worgan that kept it as low as 4. It might have been different if we'd converted a few more of our chances, but I seem to have been saying that for at least the last 4 games, if not the whole season. We did ourselves proud though - players and fans. There was a wall of noise from our end most of the game, and you only ever heard the (very few) MKD fans when they scored (and, please God, may we NEVER have goal music!). There were several excellent performances, but my MotM easily goes to Lewis - he was at the centre of everything, constantly pushing forward, winning impossible balls, urging the team on, running himself into the ground and never giving up - fantastic performance. As for the stadium, it is quite simply fantastic - but it was almost empty! Nice stand, shit atmosphere. What it must be like when they are playing a league game without many travelling fans, doesn't bear thinking about. The whole of today's crowd, including over 1,400 of us, could almost have fitted in the JWW! Thanks to Tim, as always for organising the coaches - definitely the best way to travel to games. And he gets a special thanks today for the way he coped with the heart attack we had on our coach (also the ex-nurse supporter who looked after the guy who's collapsed - and I suspect possibly saved his life - and the other supporters who helped him). Put the day nicely into perspective. I hope the guy makes a full recovery, and the supporter who went with him in the ambulance got home OK. Amazing what people can do when they need to. Thanks for your kind words but I only called the ambulance Nigel Tyler and Andy Devlin were the guys who assisted him Sarah Pink was the nurse who indeed may well have saved his life as I believed he stopped breathing for a moment I never cease to be amazed what my friends and fellow supporters are capable of, my thanks to them and Matthew the Brookline driver Things like this put football results into perspective! The guy who went to the hospital with Wayne was Tim Lynch, imusc will be paying for his cab home, it's the sort of thing imusc is here for and the least we can do Also thanks to everyone else on that coach we were held up for 40mims whilst the paramedics did their stuff there wasn't one word of complaint Thanks guys

The stadium as a mark of how far we've come in terms of opposition, amazing. Comfy seats that for some reason nobody wanted to sit in, forcing people behind them to stand and ruining the view for kids. Junior and I sat way out to the right second half, should've gone there earlier, a row to ourselves. Hardly a wall of noise, I thought our support was pretty quiet considering the occasion. I agree with previous posters, must be soulless going there every fortnight. Heard something about a group of our kids running across the pitch at the end, what was that about? Glad to have been there but left with an empty feeling. Looking forward to visiting a small ground and a traditional club next Saturday...

Did my eyes deceive me or did I see Mr "I won't go to MK Dons because I'm a man of principles who objects to the way that club were formed" NWS at Stadium MK yesterday?
Surely I must have been mistaken because a man with such principles wouldn't have gone to the game after venting his spleen on social media - unless he's a two-faced tw@t of course.

So the fact that I have already posted on here about the Gillingham v Carlisle game has passed you by. Still that and your apparent sighting of me at MK yesterday does answer the issue with your eyes

The stadium was mouth watering but home support was shocking Agreed , but it was a miserable drizzly day, and it's still quite a long haul from Wimbledon....

I heard today that the stewards there are not actually employed by the club directly, but are agency staff who get sent out to various stadiums, taken there and picked up by mini bus

They let us down 2nd half that’s all I’ve got to say... This is probably an attempted whooooooosh, isn't it?

must admit the stewards seemed a pretty bruising bunch, but pleasant enough
