Saturday's away following on 17:40 - Feb 10 by bluelagos | You're defo getting your games mixed up. B.C last match was indeed vs us. At Portman Rd for N.Forrest if I recall correctly. |
You are right. Think he was introduced to the crowd at the start of the game in 2003 - got a standing ovation. We won 1-4. Think he died the following year. |  |

Ah, I doubt that would have been much of an away crowd as it was a dead rubber from our perspective. Holland scored with his last touch for the club. |  | |  |

Approx 4,700 to see Polish Pete, Giles Coke and Josh Yorweth at the theater of dreams. TW not TD |  |

Be fair, Mick was resting the first team for our big push for mid table mediocrity. |  |

Saturday's away following on 17:23 - Feb 10 by witchdoctor | I always wonder why we had such a big following that day at Swindon…for my part I only decided on the morning of the game to go…a great time was had by all with congas going off at both ends of the ground…. |
I’m wondering why there’s 7k going to MK Dons. I get the new manager optimism and we’re in decent form. But still, 7k is ridiculous. If we were taking 4k everyone would rightly be saying great support. 7k is phenomenal. Hope and pray the players put on a show. Oh for a late winner in front of that packed away end/sides. Please god make that happen |  |

Fairly certain we took about 4000. The away end was rammed (pardon the pun!). Was the last game of the season.which would probably explain it. I was travelling North after the game; stopped at services full of jubilant Pompey fans who had just won the Championship in the North-East. |  |

Easy to get to, improved belief under McK, first time we’ve played them at 3pm on a Saturday at the MK Stadoum… all the other times we’ve been there have been evening or lunchtime games, then before that at the NHS when we took another large away following, Kuqi scored the winner in a scrappy game, around 2004ish. |  |

We always did take a lot to Derby in that period and we always used to win as well. I don't think that would have been bigger than 2001 though. We kept getting given 500 more every few days for the week or so beforehand. |  | |  |

The 2001 one was a good day out. Weren't there loads of Town fans waving their passports in celebration of the upcoming European tour? Seem to remember we had a sniff of the Champions League, but Liverpool dispatched of Charlton pretty comfortably, putting paid to that fairly early on. We drew anyway, Bam Bam with the equaliser. |  |

That’s a good point with kids being free. Let’s hope they all enjoy it and don’t mind some proper footy away day language! |  |

Saturday's away following on 17:29 - Feb 10 by PhilTWTD | We were in great form, they were a shambles at the bottom of the table and fans boycotting, if I remember rightly. They needed as much money as they could get so they gave us both ends. |
Also wasn't it May bank holiday weekend? I remember getting sunburn in the open end. |  | |  |

Early kick-off, 12.45 maybe judging by report being up by 2.36. MK Dons 0-1 Town - Match Report 12th Dec 2015 14:36Town claimed their third successive win on the road as Brett Pitman’s 10th minute goal saw the Blues to a 1-0 victory in their first league game against the MK Dons at Stadium MK. Town ought to have won the game by a greater margin with the Blues failing to take a number of good chances. 73 |  | |  |

Wasn't that when George Burley had just taken over as Derby manager, and Clough was given the keys to the kingdom of Derby or something...and we tonked them good and proper. |  |
