On This Day in 1959
Often forced to defend in depth at Richmond Road, the Dons conceded a last-minute winning goal for the second Wednesday running. Having lost at Dulwich Hamlet the previous week, there were only moments left when Kingstonian centre forward Graham Hopkins flung himself at a cross from Hugh Lindsay and headed the ball past Phil Ledger to complete another miserable midweek evening. Announcing his intention to fit floodlights at Plough Lane, club chairman Sydney Black said he hoped future amateur internationals would be staged in SW19.

Or, put another way, if we hadn’t lost the £400k (in “the event”, that we can’t discuss) we would still have a cash shortfall, but it would be £400k smaller than the shortfall we have now.

“It doesn’t need to be replaced”

Can you imagine actually saying that? It needs to be replaced. It needs to be explained. And it needs to be acted upon. It’s £400,000 while the club puts out begging comms for more money. Disgraceful. Ashamed of nothing.
That’s not exactly an answer though is it Timmy? As you well know mate your position as a clique defence pawn is well accepted. Just because the £400k has been accounted for does not explain why fans and members have been asked to donate money and blamed for not donating enough money while £400,000 has gone from the club with no explanation, no conversation and no accountability.

And don’t you dare tell us that it’s because there’s a legal case going on because there is not.

What is the cash position though Tim?

If it"s whay i think it is, cash position is same as accounting = no cash implications?
TF, it doesnt need to be replaced, it’s already accounted for in the accounts - it’s all available / afcw plc June 2024 accounts , page 26

“We have made full provision for it in the accounts as we believe it is unlikely to be recovered”
Different rules in the champions league?

Not watching the game. The new format doesn’t work for me because these games don’t really matter.
I thought if the keeper went down for treatment without a free kick, another player had to be off for a minute (or two?). Didn't seem to happen at Napoli. Anyone know why?

Go for it UA these things should be able to be discussed. Our zero-accountability culture delivers poor results.

Bored of cowards.
They also just tickled our tummies after punching us in them at the end of last season as well.

They went into administration in 2003 and got promoted the following season. I’m the same as many and have really enjoyed the benefits of fan ownership but recently those benefits have gone away and the fan ownership vision has been abused. Private ownership is no silver bullet and I’d rather we didn’t have to entertain it, but to batten down the hatches and not be aware of it as a realistic scenario is crazy.
Oooh, don’t get me started on the “management” of our finances…

Huddersfield with a similar turnover to us made a £22m pre-tax loss in 2024–25. [Link]

4 up front from corners is the new 11 men in the box. New Chelsea manager does it too.

Brilliant by Napoli to leave 4 players at half way when Arsenal got a corner. No pre-rehearsed routines would work for Arsenal

Yeah debt man comes running if he don’t get his money.

Perhaps whoever it was last night seeking attention over their half a million bond would consider flipping it to a donation. Once the £400k is replaced that’s a clean £100k towards the debt interest what an absolute mess our financial team have got us in.
DO - maybe I should take the risk…

Just researching the rules on how much you can spend on players. Meta AI says player spend must not be more than 50% of turnover, down from 60% last season. Wasn"t aware of the change, but that should work in our favour by limiting losses incurred by our rivals.

In our case that's £5.3m inc management team but academic as we've no-one to cover losses
Agreed Spit - if you’re lucky/rich enough to have a squad brimming with internationals then you can handle a game or two without them.

Or if either side has one, then it can be postponed perhaps?

Should be like cricket, carry on regardless, no postponement for call ups,especially at our low level

What will happen is that Cambridge will get no call-ups and we'll have Hippo and (now I've said he won't) Jonno called-up, but won't be able to get a postponement.

Which happened once last season and we ended up two players down against Stockport or someone like that.
I would be surprised if Jonno gets a call given that he didn't even make the bench against Luxembourg last time round when he was in the squad

RK, Johnno might get called up by NI and Richards by Jamaica.

Looking at the Camb starting line up from last game; nine english, one irish and one albanian. Only checked the latter and his recent playing record doesn't show any international appearances. We have ten english plus the Hippo, so should be ok
