No option for a lot more than usual?
Personally, I think the football were playing is, at times, as good as anything we’ve seen since 2003, and I was saying that even during that first eight games! It’s the kind of football I’ve always wanted to see implemented and I feel with Russ, Luke and Liam at the helm, I have more trust in them than anyone we’ve ever had at the helm, including Robbo*. I’m certainly more engaged despite the fact I’ve barely seen Russ’s MK Dons in the flesh this season.
Getting plaudits for the way we play, seeing the recruitment team get it right, seeing that we can still produce youngsters who will break through in to the first team and seeing the way the club has handled everything in terms of media output, ticket refund policy, new ST pricing for next season etc. has actually increased my bond.
*I was always a big Robbo fan, still am in fact, but you always knew he was one incident away from blowing up over something and it being to the detriment of the team at times.
I'm pretty much in the same boat as Camdenite, but I'll add to it with a few points from my end personally
- I moved back to England August 2019 and the start of that season was the first time I saw a Tisdale team in the flesh. It was bloody miserable, but I wanted to do as many away games as possible to make up for missing the previous 18 months or so. When Russ came in it really gave me optimism, maybe I've supported him blindly since, but coming back to MK and watching what he was trying to do really helped me reconnect to the club.
- I've pretty much worked 2 jobs since leaving Uni in 2015 until 2019, I would often work after home games but would only make 4 or 5 away games a year. This season I've watched every match except Portsmouth away due to a friends Birthday, I've never watched us play so much in a season. It has been bloody wonderful
- Not going to games and having very few social distractions means I have spent more time on here debating (rarely discussing
) our performances, watching interviews, looking at extended highlights, scrolling on Twitter etc. Whilst of course nothing beats a match day experience then a few beers after but in certain ways it has helped me feel quite connected to the club. This has helped by the social media team smashing it with their content this season and us having players with a decent personalities that come through on camera making me actually want to watch interviews.
