On This Day in 1951
Harry Stannard challenges Tooting's centre half Les Walters as the Dons draw a Wednesday afternoon Amateur Cup replay with their local rivals in front of 9,000 fans at Plough Lane. Two down after 20 minutes, Ken Lister and Freddie Gauntlett replied and despite extra time, and numerous chances for the Dons, no further goals were scored meaning a second replay would be needed to separate the sides.

Humbled by Hampton, frustrated at Folkestone, beaten by Billericay and chastened at Chelmsford, the Dons' first Ryman Premier League campaign was no cakewalk. A late run saw Dave Anderson's side sneak into the play-offs where the expensively assembled Fisher side proved too strong and, a few days later, Kingstonian rubbed salt into the wound by winning the Surrey Senior Cup final. Relive every kick with the memories of men like Wayne Finnie and Antony Howard in the latest edition of the Historical Don.

Morning all. While we're on a what's-around-Plough-Lane subject, what was inbetween the football ground and the dog track before the Total Garage and Queensway carpet shop came along?

The former of which was featured briefly in either the Sweeney or Minder IIRC
The Wandle End was rebuilt before the 1959 season I believe. I think there is a picture in the summer of 59 of the team with the work still going on in the background. I had thought the West Bank roof was later but very probably wrong.

Well we can't afford to have morals anymore but, to repeat thoughts I've put here and on the podcast, I can't be the only one to look at six-figure sums being paid for children and think this deeply uncomfortable and again question what on earth we are doing with this industry of football.

Six figure deal from Bournemouth for Jaheim Scarfe. Hope we have a good sell on clause.

This 1928 image clearly shows the church. So, AI strikes again.

not complaining, Bert, but having lived locally, knew something was missing.
OTD - Wasn't there a church at the end of those houses. Corner of Plough Lane/Haydons Rd? You can just about see it in this pic [Link]

Just had my water bill of £175 drop on my mat.That's a lot. Oxfam can supply a whole African village for just £2 a month: time to change supplier I think?

Bournemouth have agreed a six-figure deal with AFC Wimbledon for the signing of 15 year-old defender Jaheim Scafe.🤯✍️ Despite being only 15, Scafe has already made multiple appearances for Wimbledon’s U18 side this season.✅ He will now link up with Bournemouth’s U18s
That’s not aimed at you btw a4e

No you can just disagree with someone. That’s easy to do. It’s kinda normal. Somehow we’ve ended up in a world where if you offend someone (or more commonly someone is offended by you) then they expect and demand justice, on their terms like they’re judge, jury and executioner.

And there’s always an attack puppy on hand to bark obediently or sacrifice themselves willingly. Ridiculous culture.
Probably “sanctioned” was a bad choice of word from me in the initial post - to be honest, it just adds to the embarrassment these days at MUFC 🤡😬

If he’s upset the Jewish owners, then you know he’s overstepped….
Bad wording, but should he be cancelled or sanctioned. I don't think so.
