I've only been when they were at the Hockey Stadium. That was bad enough.

The view you get of the ground inside from the turnstile is fantastic.

Unfortunately, what ruins it for me is that the stadium is Milton Keynes (sorry, Cousin). :laugh:

Also it doesn't help that only the bottom tier has seats.

And from the outside, the stadium looks like just one big building site that doesn't look finished.

Other than that, it's a world class stadium. :laugh:

Well, the area of Bletchley that it is in, near an industrial estate and sorting depots and one of the main roads, isn't very attractive to be honest.

I went to mk this year and was really impressed, with the stadium that is. Once its finished i think if we win the bid its a good choice.

Lots better than boro,derby,leics etc..

I was there this season and last.

If Chessington hadn't have pointed it out I'd have walked past it. As previously mentioned it looked like a building site.

The ground is lifeless. I'd rather an atmosphere than padded seats.

I think it did have an atmosphere...when people started to sing. :laugh:

But otherwise....

Were you in the same ground I was in the only other ground I have been in that come close to being so sterile is the deva in chester. Its in the middle of no-where and as pointed out I drove straight past the ground only for Mampi to so oh I think that was it, it looks half finished.

Actually, they did and were selected, BUT... only if San Marino and Andorra were in the finals as their crowds would feel at home there.

I said how the ground looks like inside which i was impressed with, and how it will finally look when finished.

Comparing it with chester is being silly, and with it "being half finished" it is. Obviously by the time the WC comes if we get it, Its going to be finished.

Surely the fact that Milton Keynes is a fairly easy commute to London will act in their favour

Mr Rossi · **Joined:** Wed Nov 25, 2009 10:38 pm **Posts:** 45

Yes another good point.
