THE GROUND
stadiummk Stadium Way West Milton Keynes MK1 1ST
Milton Keynes Dons moved in to their new stadium in the summer of 2007 after nearly four years playing at the National Hockey Stadium following the angry birth of the club and the move of Wimbledon FC to Milton Keynes in 2003.
The 22,000 capacity stadium has the potential to rise to 32,000 should The Dons complete the top tier on three sides of the ground.
Visiting supporters are usually housed in the North Stand and there is room for 3,000.
THE TRAVEL ARRANGEMENTS
It is approximately 55 miles from Griffin Park to stadiummk.
Most supporters who travel by road will use the M1 and MK Dons suggest leaving at junction 14 and taking roads V6 and H11 to meet the A421 and there are signs for the stadium from there.
Junction 13 of the M1 will lead drivers on to the A421, follow this road until the junction with H9 and that leads directly to the stadium.
The ground is also very close to the A5 and anyone approaching on this road can't miss it.
There is parking available at stadiummk but it is limited.
Supporters are not allowed to park in the retail outlets close to the ground but parking is available in the industrial estates.
The nearest station to stadiummk is Bletchley, which is less than a mile away while Fenny Stratford is also just under a mile from the ground.
Milton Keynes Central Station is more than two miles from the stadium.
London Midland services from Euston stop at all three stations while Virgin Trains go from Euston to Milton Keynes Central and Southern services from Clapham Junction stop to Bletchley and Milton Keynes Central.
The Supporters' Association will be running coaches to every game this season - details of times and prices will be announced in due course.
THE FIXTURES
The Bees will travel to Buckinghamshire on Saturday December 8.
Brentford will welcome MK Dons to Griffin Park on Monday April 1.
THE RECENT HISTORY
Milton Keynes Dons missed out in the play-offs again last season after another decent campaign.
The Dons are set to begin their fifth season at this level and have established themselves as one of the premier teams in the division.
Recent success for MK is a far cry from the early part of the 21st Century, which saw a controversial beginning for the Football League's youngest club.
MK Dons came about when Wimbledon FC were given permission in the summer of 2002 to move to the Buckinghamshire town.
They moved in September 2003 and, with a large proportion of former Wimbledon FC fans creating AFC Wimbledon, changed their name to Milton Keynes Dons in the summer of 2004.
This date is now said to be the formation of MK Dons and following negotiations that concluded in 2007, MK have given up all claim to the history of Wimbledon FC, although legally they are a continuation of the 1889 club.
The club started out as one on a downward spiral, they were relegated from the second tier in 2004 and dropped to the bottom tier in 2006.
They missed out on promotion under Martin Allen in 2007 but Paul Ince brought them up in 2008, their first season in their new home, and when Roberto Di Matteo replaced Ince in the summer of 2008 he led them to third place in League One, with a points total that would have seen them promoted in any of the previous seven season.
Di Matteo left after one season and Ince returned, again leading MK to a top half finish but last summer there was another managerial change and Karl Robinson took over.
The Dons were in the play-off shake up for most of the season and eventually finished fifth.
They beat Peterborough United in the Play-Off Semi Final First Leg but lost on aggregate and remained a League One club.
THE MANAGER
Karl Robinson became the Football League's youngest manager when he took over from Paul Ince in the summer of 2010.
Just 29 at the time, Karl, now 31, followed Ince to Milton Keynes Dons then Blackburn Rovers and back to MK as assistant manager after starting his coaching career at Liverpool's academy.
His professional career with Swindon Town started before it really began due to a back injury and his non-league clubs included Bamber Bridge and Prescott Cables.
He was the youngest coach to ever be awarded the UEFA Pro License.
THE TOP SCORER
Dean Bowditch scored 15 goals in all competitions for The Dons last season, including twelve in LeagueOne.
The 26-year-old joined The Dons on a Bosman last season from Yeovil Town.
He is of course well known to Brentford fans having spent nearly three months on loan from Ipswich Town in October 2008.
That spell was one of several in his time at Portman Road, which saw him play at Burnley, Wycombe Wanderers, Brighton and Hove Albion (twice) and Northampton Town.
THE KEY MEN
Karl Robinson has been quiet in the summer, with no incoming transfers and a single departure, that of academy striker George Williams to Fulham.
Dean Lewington has established himself as one of the most consistent defenders in the lower divisions.
The 28-year-old, son of former Brentford manager Ray, was ever present and will break 400 league appearances for the Dons this season.
Striker Charlie MacDonald starts his second season at the club following a move from Brentford last August for an undisclosed fee.
Nine league goals were enough to help the Dons into the play-offs with Charlie looking to add to his current career tally of 107.
Irish midfielder Darren Potter can look back on his first season at the club with success.
The former Liverpool, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Sheffield Wednesday man made 40 league appearances.
