I know we are wavering and we have not turned up for the big away games this season at all, but in my opinion this is one of the biggest regular league games we have ever played or will play. Obviously that all comes down to circumstances but how often in any league has there been a final day fixture where both teams can go up, but only one can achieve it? It’s the closest thing to a cup final you will ever get in a regular league campaign.

It looks a cracking stadium, there’s sure to be a large crowd and the stakes couldn’t be higher so everybody needs to get there. Going to be a long week now, hopefully we just need a point.



Not quite true as both teams could be promoted. If Tranmere beat Bury but fail to win their last game and Bury lose their final game, both Stags and MK could go up on goal difference. Bury would have to lose by 6 goals over the two games so unlikely but possible.

:lol: you’re not wrong, but the odds on that must be sky high with Bury having Port Vale at home. I hope Bury can get the point they require tomorrow!

If the players cannot get motivated to more or less get promoted at home then what chance at MK, little I would say, love to be proved wrong.


The hardest thing in any sport is to win the prize, I don't think it is to do with motivation, I find it highly unlikely that they don't want to go up, nerves is a big factor in this situation - not unlike the Watkiss promotion. All teams are struggling to get the final point(s) they need, none more so than MKD, the pressure on them in front of their home fans will be immense.

Hopefully you will get over the disappointment on Saturday and make your way to MK.

Should be over 15,000 - whoever scores first will deflate the other side.

Think the MK parking has sold out, keeps coming up with 404 error code. Anyone know any other good parking places near the ground?

They’re also allowing under 12’s in free, as well as resident discounts, so 3 different types of offer.

Expect the gate to go well beyond 15,000 now, think there was just short of 16,000 when they played Lincoln so could be looking at close to 20,000 for this.

Cant make it as, ironically, I'm on a stag weekend - the wedding of the Stag is on play-off final day. I've been praying that we'd have been home and hosed by now.

just got back from the Stevenage game, no way can I go to MK, work and cost being two rather significant factors.

I’m not surprised you can’t afford it, taking over two days to get back from a home game.

Didn’t we fly to the moon quicker?

I was praying for the same. I can't go to the match, and won't be able to follow it either! Will just have to make do with keeping fingers crossed...
