For the avoidance of any doubt this is not a piece on the rights and wrongs of the former Wimbledon FC’s move to Milton Keynes in 2003.

Women’s International Friendly

ENGLAND 0

UNITED STATES 1 (Morgan 25)

Att 14,369 at StadiumMK, Bletchley (MK Dons FC)

Entry- Comp’

Programme £3

The groundhopping purist tends to have a long list of what they won’t go to see.

Att 165 (h/c)

Entry £2

Programme FREE

I spent far too much of this evening listening to a well known hopper whingeing about this game. Firstly he whinged that the game kicked off later that advertised on the Wolverton website (but was advertised as 7.30 on the MK Dons website, and on the programme), then he whinged about how poor he felt the game was. If of course, he have stopped whining and looked for the back-story, he may have had as enjoyable time as I had. Continue reading →
