Just to say, there's a huge ASDA next to the stadium but they're pretty hot on parking on matchdays. Also the closest station is Bletchley rather than central MK, but it's still a good 15min hike regardless.

There's no drinking establishments nearby and the ones in Bletchley can be a bit rough, but I'd recommend the Enigma on Saxon Street as the best (and that's not saying a lot). Central MK obviously has the usual collection of Wetherspoons etc, and a lot of these are grouped in the "Theatre District" but I'm not sure if they'd allow colours in.

What is parking in the ground like MK?

My nan lives in Bletchley so I am going to see her first and then onto the football about 2.30. There looks like there is plenty of space whenever I drive past.

Don't leave it too late if your booking the Coaches?

There's a fair bit of parking, but remember it's Christmas and there's a mini-shopping centre with two roundabouts just nearby and it can get very congested.

The stadium is in Bletchley so might be an idea to leave the car at nans and walk it, obviously depending on where she lives cos it's a big old place.

Do you know if the paid parking at the ground usually fills up quite early?
