Dons might make “marginal gains” versus Stockport if the away end is sold.
When the MK Dons play Stockport County on Saturday, Mike Williamson hopes the approximately 600 fans in attendance at Edgeley Park will give them an extra lift.
The Dons will be hoping to upset the apple cart and move up the league with a victory in Greater Manchester, live on Sky Sports, as the Hatters are among the favourites to win promotion this season.
The game marks the first meeting between the teams at Edgeley Park in almost 14 years, and Dons supporters quickly purchased the 474 tickets that were initially allocated. An additional 100 tickets were made available on Wednesday.
“It’s fantastic,” Williamson said of the support. “The more we can take with us, to try and create the noise we have at home, where we have a very good record.
“We’re looking for marginal gains, and the fans certainly bring that. They show up when we need them and can make a massive difference. Hopefully we can go there, enjoy the day and be on the right end of the result.
