The condition of MK Dons pitch isn't just affecting the team during games, but before them too.

For 13-and-a-half-years, Dons have warmed up in front of the Cowshed at Stadium MK prior to kick-off. However, on Tuesday night, they were set up to prepare for the clash with Blackpool at the other end, and kicked towards the Cowshed in the first-half.

Russell Martin has been vocal on the condition of the Stadium MK playing surface, and explained the reasoning behind the switch in ends, and said it may become a regular thing while fans are still unable to attend games.

He explained: "There's a bit more sun and a bit more grass coverage, so we thought we'd try something different.

"While we've got no fans at the moment, it's probably something we'll try again."
