On This Day in 1973
Just 932 supporters look on at the bearded Alan Summehill scores the middle-of-the-table Dons' first goal in a 4-1 Southern League victory over Folkestone Town at Plough Lane. An attempt to sign Northampton Town's John Hold on loan fell though due to the striker's financial demands. "He wanted £300, including wages, for a month's work," manager Mike Everitt explained, "It was ridiculous - I have never heard anything like it before. If he had been injured in the first match, he still wanted all the money. I could get George Best for a match at that price."

Can it really be a decade since that play-off final victory over Plymouth at Wembley? In December 2015, while the club was celebrating Merton Council giving permission for a new stadium to be built on Plough Lane, there was little to smile about on the field. A long run without a win culminated in a home defeat against Stevenage after which the players snubbed fans by missing the post-match presentations to head off for their Christmas party and goalkeeper Ben Wilson went online to mock supporters. After a tough talking team meeting, an underperforming squad emerged into the New Year with a new attitude and started a run that carried them to the play offs where they beat Accrington over two legs before facing the Pilgrims in the final. The latest edition of the Historical Don has the details from every game as well as the battle to return to Plough Lane and the memories of Paul Robinson, Andy Barcham and others.

What was worrying about tonight was we made two double substitutions, and they scored within a minute or so afterwards.

But at least we saw the game out.
Semi finals not regionalised unless things have changed. Sutton beat Wigan on pens en route to the final.

Good win but not sure about our fitness levels. Oggs and Maycock looked absolutely knackered halfway through the 2nd half.

MOTM tonight was the West Ham support, they schooled us on how to support your team. They nearly drove their kids back into the game.

No meadow and loads of others are still boycotting, so can't see us taking more than 18000

Regardless of who gets to the final I don't think the Pompey v Black cats 85000+ attendance is in danger, although if Plymouth get there, can see a 70000+ attendance happening.

Barnsley doing well, but don’t twang them to win as our games against them is the weekend of the next round.

I think.
The EFL Trophy semi-final is not regionalised.

It's one of these games where while I ultimately wouldn't be massively upset going out, I'd still not lose a 3-0 lead.
ok maybe we won't win the cup then
