Honestly there’s not much around there other than a retail park. I think it’s nearer Bletchley than Milton Keynes. 
 

I went to a gig there a few years ago managed to find a pub in the middle of nowhere, no idea how to find it again. 

Hmm. Maybe we’ll just go the spoons in MK.

Is anyone else ridiculously looking forward to the game? The WC is a poor relation to following The Blues for me.

Half hour walk to the stadium though.

Alves is definitely on the bus as are a few others from the under 23’s having been withdrawn from the Porto game this evening. Let’s hope some of them are given a few minutes to show what they can do

Interesting, he wasn't in any of the pre match videos but Braybrooke and McAteer were.

Best place to go is MK Hub - loads of bars and restaurants in a big square - then get an uber or cab from there to ground - like 7 mins away - loads about as well

Braybrooke will be a regular fixture with the first team from here on in I predict.

Never thought I'd be this excited about going to MK Dons away.

 

Absence does make the heart grow fonder

I'll be in IKEA from about 4. 

 

Cracking selection of beers, ciders and spirits. Plus the hot dogs are dirt cheap.

 

3 minute walk to the stadium, across Asda car park, where you can stop off for more beer if you fancy it.

Is this real? Ikea as a football pub, or just a nice place to have a beer and cheap food?

I'm in!

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Very disappointed if we're not full strength for this.

I think we need to be

if I was a gambling man I’d be having all the league 1 sides not to lose in 90 mins.

The final was a bit over hyped for me - It wasn't a patch of Leicester 5 - Manu 3 or the great Swindon games of the 80's or Leicester 4 - Leeds 3 in 1989 or so

 

Possibly I think that because I'm not emotionally involved  

[LeeTheFox]

Will this be on YouTube or the website?

If anyone looking for traditional pub for drink and bite to eat prior to the game then there are a couple of pubs in Fenny Stratford high st.

The Maltsters Arms and The Ball and Butcher. There is also a pub called The Red Lion just out of Fenny High st and sits next to the canal.

 

If you are arriving by train into Bletchley, there is replacement bus service from outside the station with first stop Fenny Stratford (about 5 min journey) Think bus runs only every hour, so if not scheduled you can get a taxi.  Not sure where bus will

drop you but if outside Fenny Stratford station, turn left and its a few minutes walk you come to double mini roundabout. If you go right into Fenny Stratford Hight St. (Aylesbury Street) a little way up The Maltsters Arms on the right and Bull and Butcher on your left.

 

If  you go left at mini roundabouts onto (Simpson Road) walk over the level crossing then right onto Lock View Lane, The Red Lion (a 10 min walk)

 

Fenny Stratford is about a 25 min walk back to MK Dons Stadium down Watling Street.

 

Me and my lad will be in the Red Lion, hope some of you make it. COYB

Stop pretending you didn't love the world cup, you have been sports washed and you love it.

Just setting off for this, I’m really looking forward to it. Come on you blues.

Nearly every trip I have a quick butchers on here.

I get it, and I know it's part of the culture, but the fact there's a good 50% of this thread dedicated to desperately trying to find somewhere to booze is a bit.... sad?

[Jobyfox]

I think we need to rest some players for this - they must be knackered.

I’m baffled most folk can’t Google or have a little search themselves to be honest.
