Written off as relegation fodder by the pundits and as long ball merchants by the purists, it was hard for their small band of supporters to believe. But led by the charismatic Dave Bassett, four decades ago the Dons reached the second tier of English football for the first time and not only survived but thrived. Starting their campaign with a home draw against the giants of Manchester City, Wimbledon refused to be overawed and went on to overcome league leaders Portsmouth, knock Nottingham Forest out of the FA Cup and complete a home and away double over near neighbours Crystal Palace, Relive every kick of the 1984-85 season in issue 48 of the The Historical Don including the memories of Mick Smith, Wally Downes and Kevin Gage.

Spit - it looks like I encountered another piece of lazy journalism. It appears there will be a -2% relating to the supply of Water but when the charges for Waste Water are taken into account it becomes an overall 3% increase.

That is, if I have read their table of charges correctly
Meadow, Thank you!

Oo er missus!
Spit - SES 3%? Can you confirm the source for that? Reason I ask is that I thought I had read SES was going to be -2%. I know that sounds crazy but it is not a figure I could possibly have dreamed up, particularly as I was expecting a major price hike.

Eggchaser, motorbikes can use parking bays in the vicinity free of charge. Helmets not allowed in the ground though.

Sounds likely then DO, the subsequent years they can just go up by inflation if they are allowed the whole jump in 25/26. Their long explanation seems to claim that consumers benefit from the price being hiked at the start of the 5 years rather than spread evenly!

Thames Water are massovely in debt and have suffered numerous fines from Ofwat for sewage leaks. No money after paying all those dividends and debt interest

OI - just received email from Thames Water and it is definitely 35% up from 1st April - maybe 0% up in the following 4 years?

Good link, Kite - the sentence “most of the councils that asked for election delays are Conservative-led” is quite telling….

pete - thanks for clarifying. My understanding was that some local elections were being postponed (for a year…?) rather than altogether cancelled - in about half of the cases, the request to postpone came in Conservative controlled councils (ostensibly because they are running somewhat scared of the rise of Reform, but I guess there might be other factors at play too…), and in some instances, the redrawing of certain boundaries (or proposed amalgamation of various councils) will actually mean that some would have held local elections only to not even exist within just a few short months afterwards - thus, holding those elections would in truth be a total waste of money (certainly something the residents would be rightly angry about). So perhaps it’s a bit more nuanced than some reporting might imply - also, I assume that people do still want their bins emptied, and it does have to be paid for…. I’m not defending the decisions, I’m just relaying what I had heard and read to date…

DO - it is actually 33% over 5 years though I imagine that will be quite heavily front loaded into 2025 and 2026. I can't remember who thought it would be a great idea to privatise what is a monopoly, I can't choose to have Severn Trent provide my water.
