THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

Of course it's a dumb decision. But of all the many, MANY dumb decisions the club keeps making to piss people off, this one barely registers.

That rubbish. There is usually steady business and often a queue at the cash-only window between gates 4 and 5 at least, and possibly in the ticket office.

I think the thread is getting down to semantics.

For me its more of an issue at concept. If we are to ever normalise this fixture, which lets face it is two dogshit L2 teams with miniscule fanbases, then it needs to be treated as such.

The more 'special measures' that are in place, the more likelihood of trouble due to the ill feeling the aforementioned measures cause.

Run it as the game that it actually is and I feel sure that it would create no more incident than any other home fixture. What has been put in place is an industrial level crushing machine to crush a grape.

Wow, big hook. One notoriously slow moving queue, and an assumption.

And the prosecution rests, does it?

If the sales were non-existent, the queue wouldn’t be notoriously slow, would it?

I didn't say non-existent. I said virtually non-existent.

Pay attention, 007.

So on an international weekend without any Premiership or Championship football and with us having AFC at home, you think we'd only have 10 walk ups? I know attendance's are low, but Jesus. We'd have more than that for Harrogate at home.

The current rule would also exclude anyone who just buys tickets on the day, even if they've been to 100 games. I reckon quite a few casual decide on the morning of a home game if they're going to get a ticket or not. Hardly a rush to secure a seat!

This thread has the number of pages it does, because this overhyping of the 'situation' when playing AFC is just absurb. Whoever is enforcing this rule really needs a reality check.

Calm down, dear. What i meant was that about ten people who aren't eligible would be missing out.

I very much doubt there are loads of people randomly floating about in MK buying tickets on the day regularly. If they're that engaged, they'll be known to the club from some point or other.

And let's be honest here: very few people in Milton Keynes who aren't already going regularly give a flying fuck about MK Dons.

Don't worry, I'm calm. The point is, no one should miss out, even if it's just one person, because the rule is absolutely moronic and unjustifed.

Also, MK isn't the only area people attend from. I frequently bump into parents of kids my daughter is friends with in Bedfordshire, who have already or are planning to start going to games.

Just as an academic point and because I'm rather bored with this thread (I know...I have contributed to it...) I've always wondered what that actually means. Does it refer to the so called 'mile high club'? Or are there any birds that actually behave in that manner?
