MK Dons v Walsall

I always support the MK Dons whenever I’m at a match in Stadium:MK – and will do so again on Saturday – but I do have to admit a conflict of interest. I grew up in Walsall – and Walsall FC were the first team I went to watch. (15th February 1975 – 5th round of the FA Cup).

MK Dons have had some disappointing results recently – let’s hope they can break out of this on Saturday. For me it would also mark another break. We moved into Walsall back in 1967 – and although I left for University in 1978 my family continued to live there. That ended last week – my mother sold her house and moved into the Hagley Road, Birmingham Extracare Retirement Village. (part of the group which includes Shenley Wood and Lovat Fields). So at last, the ‘conflict of interest’ has ended!!!
