On This Day in 1959
Isthmian League champions Wimbledon were in training ahead of the new season. At a civic reception to celebrate the club's first title success in in 23 years, Sydney Black tried to dampen expectations. "There are far too many people in Wimbledon who think that next year we will win the Amateur Cup," he said. "All I will say is that there will come a time when we will bring it back.' Perhaps the chairman knew that the young team that he and his coach Les Henley were assembling had yet to fully mature.

50 years ago, a hat trick of Southern League titles and two high profile FA Cup runs were not enough. In the days prior to automatic promotion, club chairman Ron Noades had to travel the country canvassing votes from his Football League counterparts as part of a high profile ‘Dons 4 Div 4’ campaign before the Dons were finally accepted. Relive every kick of Wimbledon’s final non-league year through the pages of the latest edition of The Historical Don with match reports and pictures as well as the memories of Noades, manager Allen Batsford and several members of his all-conquering team. On sale at the home games in August and priced at £3, it is hoped that payments can now be made via a card machine!

Don’t forget it’s the Perseids peak right now as well. Seen a few already with one decent green + trail one.

Watch the skies!
Went down the park, eclipse was disappointing but it was nice to see 30-40 people out enjoying the park when it’s usually low single figures in the evening. Some of the kids seemed to just enjoy being out doing something different.

Richmond Park was rammed this evening with people who had never been there before in their life and basically parked where and how they liked, all starring up like zombies not really sure why or what they were looking for. This afternoon it was dead. At 6.30 pm it was like a festival.

The cycling clubs that normally use the park as their own personal race track, for which rules of the road like speed limits are just for cars, were not pleased to have their way blocked at so many points, especially near the Kingston Gate.

Beautifully framed mind you.
It gets darker when we have a good daytime storm. What load of hype:-)

Yes CW that’s a wonderful thing to happen just as long as UEFA aren’t using the guy as political football. I’m very happy for him to have this game though and think it’s the right decision. Football fans everywhere should see it the same.

To take Bert’s idea on one step - 36 DT fan ownership clique stalwarts tomorrow presenting themselves at A&E with impaired vision.

Raced back home mostly downhill, past lots of parked cars on the ridge in darkly wooded areas. Not one single driver thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to put their hazard lights on

RIP common sense
The Daily Mail have the much more restrained headline "ECLIPSE FEVER": [Link] [Link]

Imagine if Wimbledon Brewery had an eclipse event on the pitch this evening to announce the renewal of their sponsorship. Plenty of beer sold and AFC Wimbledon branded special glasses. Tricks missed all round ...

Plus the BBC hyping it like it was the "Second Coming" - sad.

Well that felt odd. It got a little bit overcast for a few seconds. Lots of disappointed people hanging on Thornton Heath street corners for different reasons than usual. 1999 was so much better, OI's 1% making so much difference.

That was good. Enjoyed it. Nice to contemplate the physics of the universe rather than the bullshit humans concoct to explain it.

We had nearby trees acting as pinhole cameras so casting a large number of crescents against the white walls. Impressive but I had never expected to get very excited about it. The 1% that really makes the difference is from 99 to 100.

The Labour Government did a better eclipse in 1999.
