2 things - 1. Blue smoke bombs 2. Security at ground

Can't believe some young lads are stupid enough to still let off smoke bombs inside grounds, a few were being set off as we came into the upstairs concourse, they probably didn't know they were being filmed at the time either. :shock:

Also noticed a a load of security in black suits around the place, they looked like bouncers 8-)

Hi Annis,
I was told by a steward on gate 32 that
the blokes in the black suits were a private security firm hired by
MK Dons for the Cardiff game !! What's it coming to ?
As for the game we should have blown them away in first half.

The guys in black suits were there for the cup game at Stadium MK too...
I'd assume that they are hired by MK Dons frequently!

The black suits were there for the League Cup game too. Only a few as I recollect and they were at the 'entrance' to the bar area. It's a dumb decision by the MK Dons ops manager to have this visible 'presence' as I think its seen as an insult by our fans and I think runs the risk of winding folks up, especially if they decide to get heavy handed. There was no issue at the cup game and I presume the same yesterday so I really don't see the need for the black suits over regular stewards for Cardiff games. That said, it's a very nice ground.
