Thornton is part of the Milton Keynes district in Buckinghamshire, England. The area is in proximity to Stadium MK, a football venue designed by Populous and opened in 2007. The stadium serves as the home ground for the EFL League Two side Milton Keynes Dons. The club was relocated from Wimbledon, London, to Milton Keynes in September 2003, following a decision by the Football Association and an independent commission. The move, which occurred 16 months after permission was granted, prompted the formation of AFC Wimbledon by supporters in 2002. The relocated team played under the Wimbledon name from September 2003 until June 2004, before adopting the name Milton Keynes Dons F.C. The stadium’s presence highlights the modern sporting infrastructure within the Milton Keynes area, reflecting the town’s development as a new urban centre.
