The Experience
After the troubles of Wimbledon they finally moved to the National Hockey Stadium during the 03.04 season. Though since the move results on the pitch have not improved mainly because of the sale of key players. The stadium has two stands which are temporary seating, one runs halfway along the pitch and the main stand is a large covered stand. Attendances have been around 4,500 so far this campaign.  There is talk of a move to a permanent venue in Milton Keynes but this all depends on the financial position of the club.
