I mostly still come because my dad does; he's 75 this year. I much prefer an away day though, although I can rarely spare the time now.

My last Dons game was Chelsea at home when we lost 1-5. I have been to watch Barcelona, Copenhagen, Genoa, Inter Milan and Porto since then though.

Season ticket holder 2005-2012 and a fair amount of away days. Divorce financially kicked that into touch and forced me into an armchair fan. Still listened to every commentary and went when I could despite moving to Nottingham.
In a much better place now and been going with my son who is 16. Being midlands based we go to more away than home but despite the general decline my son is hooked and I can see us travelling more next season.
Anyone else travelling from the Midlands?

I still go and have renewed the season tickets for next year.

My son loves it but he is away at university so hardly ever gets to come. I go on my own when I can but I sometimes have other commitments - probably went to about 16 homes games this season. I went to nine away and am much keener on that. Biggest problem is that I don’t know many other guys that go so it can be a bit of a lonely trip.

I know some of you took a dim view of me not going to the play off home game. But it really matters to me to be able to sit in my own seat surrounded by people I can pass the time of day with and being kicked out to some anonymous seat on my own just wasn’t going to work for me. Winkelman ruined that for me - and I am old enough to know he is going to keep treating me like shit as long as he owns it.

I think I went to about half the home games this season, my son, also a season ticket holder, went to 2, my reasons, can't attend games at the beginning due to cricket, then virtually impossible to get to midweek games from where we are, Matthew simply hates home games, atmosphere and the bell ends that now go, so a contribution to the club financially, but that will end if they insist on charging me a fiver per physical season ticket, I will cancel our season tickets purely on that decision, I don't want an e ticket, if there's an option, then neither or both options should be charged, so I'll wait and see what they say, another penny pinching attemp to screw the fans over.

Been going since 2005 or 6, and ST since 2008. ST renewed for next season. I still actually enjoy it despite everything. Plus, if I didn’t go, who else would make the day miserable for Gers and Brando? Ruining their day by just turning up is a kind of public service I perform. :D

I've had my season ticket since S:MK opened and been very happy. I love going away and used to go to four or five games a season, but this has tailed off since just before COVID due to various life mix changes. My glass is usually half full and my spectacles mostly rose tinted

That said it's felt like a bit of a chore at times since the previous play off misfire, and as we've all experienced the sense of community we enjoyed has diminished. The saving graces have been the company of the footy friends I've made in the former Family Corner over the years, plus the continuing meeting place we have here on the Roundabout

I'm not ready to be forced out, although there are times when I feel sorely tested by the way the Club has decided to run itself

:?

Frankly mate, I’d see you and I as canaries in the mine. If the club ever fucked things up so bad that either of us stopped going, then the club would have entered the End Times.

Renewed all the season tickets already.

Love going to the games with my family. Lot of love for the club.

I live in Somerset. I honestly cannot remember the last time I went to a home game, despite the fact I have family in Bedfordshire I often visit. I try and get to every South-West away day though.
