On This Day in 1965
Four goals from Eddie Reynolds allowed the Dons to sign off from the Southern League First division with a convincing 4-0 win over Merthyr Tydfil at Plough Lane. The remarkable Irishman had taken his season's total to 57 with his third consecutive hat trick. JF Nash, chairman of the Southern League, presented Roy Law with the runners up trophy after the game. "Today I come here to congratulate you on promotion to the Premier Division," he said. "There is no reason why you should not do as Oxford United have done and go onto the Football League."

He has just got passed the £10,000 mark but is still short of his target Running the Marathon in that hot smelly fur is going to be tougher this time around now that Haydon is that much older. He turns out to support our team every game at the Lane, now is running 26 miles for the DLAG. Would be good to boost the total if you are able [Link]

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

Fingers crossed we'll start: Bishop; Ogs, Bauer, Johnson; Tilley, Maycock, Smith, Hippo, Seddon; Stewart, Nkeng.

Optimistic reading of JJ's update earlier today.
He wouldn’t just make stuff up.

No track record of doing that.
Thanks Meadow - any idea on which social media channels Angus Fox referred to in that statement?

As far as I’m aware The Dons Trust is no longer on any social media channels. Last Facebook post was in 2012. On Instagram it’s just the club posting stuff and tagging the DT in on stuff (some horrible racism on there in the comments btw club should probably stick Reece on there as moderator clean that right up in an instant) and I very much doubt there are accounts on TikTok or Snap. So to which social media channels is Angus referring for members to use?
There had been talk for ages of shutting it down. I can see the risk of reputational damage for something associated with the club, especially with the two moderators still being relatively young. Despite all that I am pleased to see that Angus seems to classify it as a failure which many of us forecast when Discord was proposed.

Good timing to release the discord statement, late on a Friday. Nothing in any of the minutes or summaries alluded to discord closing. First Twitter now this, what next!

Trig, WhatsApp is mentioned in this article [Link] it's receive only although you can respond with emojis.

No, I won't be joining.
I stumbled across that election report the other day. It struck me that it completely didn't address the main issue, which was that a code of conduct was being applied retrospectively that nobody who wasn't a volunteer had seen.

Members can contact us and ask questions via the club website, email any board member directly, receive our monthly newsletter, attend general meetings, join our WhatsApp community, and engage with our social media updates. We believe this provides a more effective and inclusive way to stay connected and would like to thank all members and volunteers who participated in Discord and its predecessors.

How does one join the WhatsApp community and on what social media channels does the Dons Trust currently engage? They’ve shut down their Twitter account and I can’t see Fox doing TikTok dances.
I fear Trig is right, and the devil will find work for idle hands with the proboards mods winding themselves up about what we say on here.

Some on here quite happy to screenshot and share with the clique.

Same as some on discord were happy to do the same in return. Impossible to rid yourself completely of good people. This is a football club not a bank account.
OI, I think this place is read only mode to the boards

Well I'm astonished we didn't get a mention as an alternative to Discord.

Wonder if that recent reaction to the “independent” election report was the final nail in the coffin. You can only protect a forum from so much defamation these days if it has the terrible two as moderators.

Puppets of their masters without a brain cell to share between them. Even Rosenior would have kept discord open.

Pete- that level crossing is at the end of our garden. To the right as you look from there. Shame it's a poor view of Watchet, with the highly divisive art gallery almost the only thing in view (not art as we know it, Jim.) You can make out Steep Holm though.

Couldn’t care less about Discord closing but that probably means that the chairs* will be coming after this place again. Hopefully the speed with which the alternative place was up and running last time will put them off trying that nonsense again. Now the only way you can ask a board member a question is if you know them personally. C L I Q U E
