MK Dons

Our first ever game against them, play like the second half last Saturday and get our shooting boots finally on and a win is on the cards.

Big stadium which won't be anywhere near full. We should be able to make ourselves heard as we, hopefully, lay siege to the opposition goal and crack a few into the onion bag. Come on, Barrow!

Biggest ground by far in this league, infact it’s too big.When I’ve seen highlights on tv, always looks empty. New ground to tick off though.

The stadium was built with a view to host Premier League football. Also as a concert venue and conference centre. You won’t see anything like it outside of the Championship ( perhaps with the exception of Pride Park).

It is a strange place however when not remotely full. There is actually an echo in the place created by the shape of the building. Can’t be particularly reassuring for their fans.

They are currently a troubled club. Good time to play them….in theory.

Be ok to buy on the gate won't it? I've got a few mates coming but not sure how many yet.

They average between 5/6 thousand home fans. International break too so you might attract a few more armchair fans and fans of local clubs. Any idea on how many tickets barrow have sold?

They are not a happy bunch in Milton Keynes. They are talking about a home crowd of about 4k tomorrow. Atmosphere will be dreadful. Will sound like a game of ping-pong in St Paul’s Cathedral.

If MK Dons don`t score we won`t get beat if Barrow don`t score we will lose IMHO.
