Winter shopping traffic

January sales at centre:mk add congestion around the stadium approach roads.

Transport alert

Midweek kick-off

A 19:45 start in Milton Keynes means the last realistic train back leaves around 22:15. Check the connection before you buy a ticket.

Ground note

Milton Keynes' road layout of grid roads and roundabouts can confuse first-time visitors; rely on sat-nav.

Ground note

MK Dons' history with AFC Wimbledon means some rival supporters treat this fixture with extra edge.
