I know I mentioned the cheap fuel and flat pack offerings next the ground. But for those new to the area the ground is a fair poke from Central MK station and a shared taxi is the best option or a bus to Bletchley. The pubs near the station include the usual suspects and are directly up the hill to the left from CMK main station. Best return back to station for taxi to the ground.
As for the ground...think Riverside stadium and be prepared that is in the middle of an Asda Hypermarket complex and Ikea. If you arrive early they both have restaurants and the ground parking is adjacent to the stores. Be careful as they get funny in the store car parks with football cars. Bletchley itself is very uninspiring and I suspect the ground food will be most people's best option.
They have slashed the prices for this game and they will get between 7,000- 14,000 for their matches. Where the fan base has come from I have no idea. There is plenty of space for away fans. I suspect around an 8,000 crowd.
If you are arriving via the Buckingham area takes the signposts for Southern Milton Keynes when you get the choice on the final roundabout for Buckingham. You will then eventually get on a dual carriageway with some warehouses and signs of the Milton Keynes conurbation. after 4./5 roundabouts of going straight on you will see some overhead speed cameras (be careful), at the next roundabout turn right (don't go over the big bridge you have gone too far!) and go past the tile centres and under a big railway bridge. After 0.5 mile the ground appears on your left.
If you are arriving from the North exit via junction 14 and turn right on the motorway roundabout. At the next roundabout head in (2'clock direction) on the roundabout possibly signposted the Hockey Stadium. You will see a car franchise immediately on your left to know you have taken the right road. After 8/10 roundabouts you will see the Hockey Stadium and you need turn left before it keeping it on your right. After 3/4 roundabouts you will have passed the station (on your right)/retail park(on Right)/mosque(On Left), you will eventually pass a Shell garage on your left. At the next roundabout turn right signposted to Buckingham go over bridge and next roundabout turn left. Then go under railway bridge above etc and the ground appears.
Arriving from South exit M1 at Junction 13 and follow signs to Milton Keynes. You will pass lots of roundabouts and then a retail park with Tesco appears on right as a landmark. Keep going straight on and follows signs for hospital. Keep the Hospital on your right and keep going straight over the next 3/4 roundabouts until you go over a massive bridge with the A5. If you see the overhead speed cameras turn back and follow Buckingham above directions. Then turn left and follow directions under railway bridge above.
If you see any signposts for Ikea just follow them!! (My missus says the exist I am not too sure!)
If you are flying in then Luton airport is the best option..............i'll get my coat. The main bus station is miles away and this option is best avoided.
