Dons supporters had the chance to have their questions answered at red dot bar on Thursday night as the Club hosted its latest Fans Forum.

Nearly 200 supporters turned out to take control of the evening's agenda, pitching the issues they felt strongly about to the Club's panel of expert speakers.

Chaired by MK Dons SET chief executive John Cove, the panel were invited in turn to field questions from the audience, with Assistant Manager Karl Robinson and Club Captain Dean Lewington both on hand to address footballing issues.

There were also a number of operational matters brought to the attention of the panel, with Chairman Pete Winkelman, Finance Director Shaun O'Hara and Group Director of Sales and Marketing Andrew Cullen available to tackle the issues in case.

The Club were also delighted to welcome John Brockwell, Chair of the MK Dons Supporters Association, and BBC Late Kick-off's Kevin Piper onto the panel to offer their opinions on matters surrounding the Club and football in Milton Keynes.

Nearly 200 supporters attended Thursday night's Fans Forum at red dot bar.

While Karl and Dean certainly took their fair share of attention, with questions ranging from player recruitment to team tactics and selection, the first team representatives were only too happy to talk openly in response.

Karl spoke of his desire to help the team move forward in the long term and help manager Paul Ince develop a squad that can wow stadiummk audiences for years to come. He said he shared the frustration of supporters that the team hadn't found the consistency they were looking for this term, but insisted that the squad was making promising progress and backed them to deliver over the coming year.

Dean was among several members of the panel to discuss the squad's disciplinary issues, but was also happy to talk tactics and explained the difficulties in breaking teams down that come to stadiummk with a negative approach. The Dons skipper also joked he would be happy to step in for John Terry should Fabio Capello opt to appoint a new England captain!

Other issues raised and addressed ranged from the Jason Puncheon transfer between Southampton and Plymouth, to matchday catering at stadiummk, to the potential installation of under-soil heating, with the panel's open approach drawing praise from those in attendance.
