Dick_Valentine Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Gutted I couldn't get to Chesterfield yesterday, but I'm up for MK away now and hopefully we can right one or two wrongs at that place. It'll be my first visit there, what's it like for getting a pint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyshireLatic Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Still buzzing from yesterday...onto MK Plastics, the ground is part of a retail park and hotel, been a few times and not found any decent pubs anywhere nearby. You can go into the hotel bar and get a pint though...me and the boy should be in there about half 6ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Alternative: There is also Fenny Stratford which is located a mile south of the stadium along Watling Street. Fenny has seven pubs within a five minute walk of each other plus a fish and chip shop'. Caroline Charlesworth a visiting Leicester fan tells me; 'Many Leicester fans headed to Fenny Stratford, as it is about a 20 minute walk from the ground and seems to be the better bet of all the areas round the ground after speaking to others who went elsewhere. We actually caught the train and got off at Fenny Stratford. Right by the station is the ‘The Red Lion’. This is in a lovely setting right beside a Canal Lock – nice for those early and end of season days out as they have a decent size garden and plenty of room to stand around outside'.

Stagger Lee Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 A few years ago I remember we got fined (or told off) by the FA for calling them Franchise F.C. during a ground announcement can anyone remember the punishment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jorvik_latic Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Loved yesterday and still haven't been to Franchise away. That's not going to change - I'm not giving that :censored:shower of a club any of my money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeslover Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Those that do go, I'd encourage you to only spend the ticket price at the ground. Eat before or take butties, drink elsewhere, bring special cola etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Guru Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The bar has been set for away support...can we sing for 45 minutes straight again? I don't know if we would have scraped the 3 points at Spireites without the fans support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chris_ktf Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Who will come in for Gerrard? Back four? Hunt Clarke Wilson Reckord (Is Dunne fit yet?) Presuming front 6 won't change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Who will come in for Gerrard? Back Hunt Clarke Wilson Reckord (Is Dunne fit yet?) Presuming front 6 won't change.

BP1960 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Edmundson straight in for gerrard no point tinkering with the rest He might go for Wilson at centre back and McLaughlin at right back. MK usually pass the ball between the back 4 so maybe Obadeyi will come on up front with Holloway to pressurise them into mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigDog Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Lost our last four at Stadium MK, scoring 1 and conceding 16. And I've seen 'em all... will be there Tuesday to hopefully bury the jinx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayItLivo Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 One of those places where we pretty much always lose. A point would be a really good result. That said our battle to survive last season included rare wins at London Road and Roots Hall. So here's hoping for a rare one on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won in 2007, 2008 and 2009. We didn't play them away in the League again until 2016. We beat them then, too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 And I've seen 'em all... will be there Tuesday to hopefully bury the jinx. I attended two of them, we conceded 12 in those two games. Saying that our last visit in 2014 saw players like Grigg, Alli, Bowditch and Afobe scoring against us in a 7-0 defeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
