A date with the MKDons

Posted by Lauren Austin on 13th April 2022

Recently, representing Visual Identity, our MD, Jacqui and Marketing Manager, Lauren, enjoyed an evening at Stadium MK watching the MKDons. They beat Crewe Alexandra 2-0, which actually saw the Dons briefly sitting at the top of the league! The perfect evening for a date with the MKDons.

The second goal was scored by the player whose kit Vi sponsors this season, Conor Coventry. He has become a firm fan favourite since arriving on loan from West Ham United earlier this season.

We were greeted by the lovely Dean Bowditch. Visual Identity has been associated with Dean since he first started working with the MK Dons SET. We are also proud members. We even got to walk through the tunnel to chat with fellow sponsors and, of course, Conor. Conor spoke about his football career so far and how he’s enjoying living and playing in Milton Keynes. Unsurprisingly, he says the facilities at MK Dons are on par with the likes of Premier League West Ham. His parent club.

After being presented with our signed, framed photo of Conor, we had G&Ts in the Pitchside Bar before taking our seats to enjoy the game. And again at halftime, of course!

MK won the game relatively comfortably against a struggling Crewe side. This secured their position in the automatic promotion places.

This is such a talented, young side and the fantastic facilities at the Stadium MK are wonderful. We are looking forward to (hopefully) seeing the Dons playing in the Championship next season! 🤞

We’re all huge football fans here at Vi, so supporting MK Dons and the Sport and Education Trust is a no-brainer for us.

Looking forward to our next date with the MKDons already.

With only a few games left, get yourselves down to cheer on the boys in white! #COYD!
