Last updated : 28 October 2005 By Bigrich.....

Who are you, where are you from and how long have you supported your club?
I am the editor of the independent Dons Fanzine The Bucks Fizz, i am from Sunny Milton Keynes and i started supporting the Dons in September 2003.

What was your first game?
The first game in MK vs Burnley September 2003

Describe the most memorable and the worst game you have seen and why?
Best game was vs Tranmere, last season. We survived relegation on the last day on goal difference, most Dons fans would agree.

Worst two games both last season, both away vs Brizzle 1-4, and Hartlepool 0-5 shamefull performances.

Who are your current local rivals and why?
Its not easy due to the relocation, but some have picked L***n.

Who are the best and worst players you have seen?
Nigel Reo Coker who the administrators sold to West Ham, he'll play for England one day. The worst is tough as a lot of our players have been thrown into first team football aged 17 and its not be easy for them.

How did you fare last season?
Pre Dec 9th relegation fodder, post Dec 9th like a top ten side we went 11 unbeaten and survived on the last day even though we had a good go at cocking up losing to Torquay in the run in. We finished 20th on goal difference.

Where do you think you’ll finish up this season?
If we could hold onto a lead in the top six, otherwise its going to be mid table.



It has been a difficult time for your club, do you think eventually you’ll end up a non-league club?
Eh? You What? Err dont think so, we seem to be a lower reaches of the third division side at the moment id like to stabalise the club on and off the field first before thinking where we'll end up.

Since your move to MK, how much vitriol and abuse from other clubs have you had?
Not as much as some would have you think. The cyber warriors give it large on the keyboard but face to face in a pub over a pint and you get no stick whatsoever, all questions and people seem genuinely to want to hear what we have to say.

If MK Dons were a TV personality, who would it be and why?
Billy Mitchell from Eastenders, honest nice bloke if not always in the same time zone as the rest of the country. Sums up our concentration.

So what do you think of The Millers?
Your suffering in the Shadow of the two Sheffield clubs, but i have friend who follow Rottersham so i have a liking for you guys, (Hello Paul and family see you Saturday for a pint and a look at a proper building site)

Which current or former Millers player has impressed you the most?
Deon Burton is a real threat but a joy to watch when hes not playing us, our defenders will be grateful at 450pm on Saturday.

Are you happy with your chairman and board members?
Early days for our chairman, you cannot fault his enthusiasm and drive, he persuaded Danny Wilson that MK is the future, he is so wrapped up in building our new home and creating an academy to be proud off he hasn't spent much money on players, which fans like to see.

Which team do you want to beat this season the most and why?
The next one we play and the one after that, we were seen as three easy points by a lot of teams and we have a scores to settle.

What sort of line up can we expect from you?
We have had a settled line up for a few weeks now, although Stephen Quinn has gone back to the Blades we are virtually using the same 15 players.

Who’s your strongest/weakest link?
Strongest its close between our two centre backs Mills and Morgan at the moment. Weakest, again, its our inability to hold a lead so if its 4-0 to us with a minute left STAY PUT it aint over!!!

What’s your predicted score?
2-0 to The Mighty Dons, McLeod to get both to prove he's back.

Who’s going up?
Huddersfield, Brentford and Swansea

Who’s going down?
Swindon, Colchester,Hartlepool and Blackpool

And finally….Meat and tatty, Beef n Onion or Balti?
Balti with a pint of bitter.
