do we know for a fact we are getting a totally new design?

Re: Northumberland Development Project - CPO Now Granted!!!
No.
But it's likely that there will at least be significant changes to the KSS design.

I'd have thought that it's the opitimum number when considering all factors - building, spectator satisfaction, access.
As much as I love our history 1882 is the only year we should bang on about, until we win the league again 61 will be a bit of a monkey on our back. Bit like 1966 for England.
Although at least we will never be as embarrassing as west ham who have picked a phone number with 1966 at the end - MUGS

just thinking back was it end 2007 when this was announced. if 2016/17 is to be believed, it would have taken us 9 years from announcement to actually playing in the new stadium. Considering that there would have work done with the orignal KSS design, then this project would effectively be more than 10 years in the planning.

Re: Northumberland Development Project - CPO Now Granted!!!
I thought that this could potentially work well for me as well. 25 miles from Luton Airport. But on checking National Rail, it seems that there are no direct trains from Luton Airport Parkway to Bletchley and you have to go via Bedford, seems to be long way round. Am I missing something? Is there a direct route?

No there isn't a direct route. Bus is possible.

Thanks, I'll check the buses. An hour and half on a train to go 25 miles seems a bit much.

The stadium is situated at Denbigh North, just off the A5, south of Central Milton Keynes and just north of Bletchley. It is adjacent to a Retail Park with ASDA and IKEA, so expect some traffic congestion. For those familiar with MK’s grid road system the ground is on V6 Grafton Street on the junction with H9 Groveway
Official Club Route (this is signposted from Junction 14 of the M1):
Leave the M1 at Junction 14 and head towards Milton Keynes. Go straight over the first roundabout and at the next (where there is a Total Garage on the corner) turn left onto the V11 Tongwell Street. Proceed across one roundabout and at the next turn right onto the H8 Standing Way (A421). Continue alone the Standing Way going across a number of roundabouts. On reaching the Bleak Hall Roundabout turn left into the V6 Grafton Street. At the next roundabout, turn right and the stadium entrance is further down on the left.
Potential alternative/quicker routes
From the North:
Leave the M1 at Junction 15 and take the A508 towards Milton Keynes and keep going until you reach the A5 roundabout. Take the first exit onto the A5 (direction London). Turn off at the third junction (signposted A421), take the fourth exit at the roundabout onto the V6 Grafton Street (towards Bletchley) and the ground is on the left. Or if you prefer more motorway driving, then continue South on the M1 to Junction 14:
From Junction 14 take the A509 towards Milton Keynes. take the A509 towards and into Milton Keynes.
After the big motorway roundabout, turn right at the next roundabout (still A509, also called H5 Portway), then keep going straight on until you reach the A5 roundabout. Turn left onto the A5 (towards London). Turn off at the first junction (signposted A421), take the fourth exit at the roundabout onto the V6 Grafton Street (towards Bletchley) and the ground is on the left.
From the South:
Leave the M1 at junction 13 and take the second exit (A421) towards Milton Keynes. At the third roundabout (there's a BP garage on the right as you approach), take the second exit onto the H9 Groveway. Keep going straight on until you reach the A5 roundabout. Take the second exit at the roundabout onto the V6 Grafton Street (towards Bletchley) and the ground is on the left.
If you are approaching the stadium from the South along the A5, then leave the A5 at the junction of the A421 and you then really can't miss it.
Please note that the stadium is no where near the centre of Milton Keynes. If you do get lost follow directions to Bletchley and/or IKEA.
James a visiting Portsmouth fan adds; 'If you are a visiting supporter then follow the signs for "football coaches" as this will take you to the back of the stadium which is nearer the away fans turnstiles. Following signs for "stadium mk" will take you round to the front of the ground where most of the parking is for permit holders only. With regards to parking, if you dont want to pay, and arrive early enough, then you can park on the industrial estate which is on the opposite side of the road, to this rear stadium entrance'.
Alternative Parking
There are 2,000 car parking spaces at the stadium, which cost £7 per vehicle. Otherwise you can street park in the Denbigh West industrial estate. After passing the stadium entrance on your left, turn right at the next roundabout, called Granby roundabout, and then take the next turn left, and immediately left again onto the industrial estate called Denbigh West. Don't be tempted to park at the adjacent Asda Store as it is patrolled on matchdays and you may end up with a parking ticket for your trouble.
Trains
The nearest station is Fenny Stratford which is just over a mile away from the stadium, however this is on the local Bletchley to Bedford line. As you exit the station turn right and at the top of the road turn right onto the main Watling Street. Just go straight along this road and you will see the stadium over on your right.
There is also Bletchley which is around about two miles away from the stadium. Surprisingly taxis are scarce outside Bletchley station so best to pre-book one in advance (Skyline 01908 222111 are a local taxi firm). Otherwise you can embark on the 35-40 minute walk to the stadium. The station is served by trains from London Euston & Birmingham New Street.
Turn left immediately you come out of the station building and continue to and down the steps. At the bottom of the steps turn left go under the railway bridge. At the roundabout by the Park pub turn left onto Saxon Street. Keep straight on this road and you will eventually reach the stadium. However you will need to cross over to the other side, as there is only one path beside it. You will pass Bletchley Bus Station on your right and then the Enigma Pub. Go straight across the double mini roundabout following signs for the A5 and you will see the stadium over on your left. Beware though that the walk might not be best made for night games, as there are a number of underpasses enroute.
More likely though you will end up at Milton Keynes Central which is around four miles away. There is a taxi rank outside the station (Cost about £10 to the stadium). Or there is a regular Bus Service as Peter Durrant a visiting Plymouth Argyle supporter adds; 'There is the Arriva Service No 1, which runs every 30 minutes at 5 minutes and 35 minutes past the hour from Milton Keynes Central Rail station. The journey takes about time is 10 minutes (and is via the city centre, Oldbrook and the Hospital) to the bus stop of Grafton Street, adjacent to the stadium entrance. The return journey from the Granby, Grafton Street bus stop leaves at 15 and 45 minutes past the hour to MK Central Rail station'.
