MK Dons chairman Pete Winkelman is offering all his neighbours free tickets to see the club to celebrate Milton Keynes' 50th birthday.

The town marks its half-century milestone this year and has a series of celebrations planned.

Winkelman said he wanted to give the "gift of football" to people in the area. Anyone living in an MK postcode will be able to claim a free ticket to the Dons' first home league match against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday February 4th.

The tickets will be handed out on a first-come, first-served basis. Proof of address is required and, while anyone of any age is eligible for a free ticket, they can only be collected by over-18s.
