On This Day in 1975
Kieron Somers powers a header goalwards as the Dons draw a Monday night game 0-0 in front of a season's best crowd of 2,908 at Bath's Twerton Park. An exhausted Wimbledon team still had nine matches to play in the final 18 days of the season as they sought their first ever Southern League title. "Bath have full time, 23-man squad so we are doing well to match them," chairman Jack Beaven claimed. "This was another tough game, and I am glad we got a point."

As the Premier League clubs grew richer 30 years ago, little Wimbledon struggled to survive. Despite a good start to the 1995-96 season, an alarming autumn slump saw the Dons flirting with relegation before victories at Stamford Bridge and Highbury within a four-day period over Christmas lifted some of the gloom. Progressing through to the FA Cup 5th round, only a late, late equaliser from Efan Ekoku at Huddersfield kept hopes alive before a memorable quarter final with Chelsea. Four wins in the five games after a replay defeat ensured survival for another year. Every match is celebrated with the memories of Ekoku and many others in the latest edition of the Historical Don.

On sale from outside the club shop at the Luton, Plymouth and Huddersfield games for just £2. With printing costs soaring, the price will increase next year so grab it while you can.

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]

Keefy, you clearly haven't seen Papers at a Wimbledon game, it's less "cheering on" and more "writing down"

RK - Some on the forum I use are guessing it's an escaped pet, yes, but who knows? When I lived in Basingstoke, my place backed onto a wood. Loads of pheasant there. If I left the back gate open we'd have 2 or 3 in our garden in no time. They were common pheasant, native to this country. This one is a bit of a mystery though.

Wonder how it go here - maybe someone keeping it as an exotic pet? Well done if it flew all the way and evaded Putin's and Trump's missiles ...

Evidently it's been roaming around this area for a couple of weeks now, if all the reports are accurate. No idea of any why's or wherefores, Trigger.

Bushmonkey I thought that as well but checked and it’s not the case. Outside the EFL there is scope for recalls.

Bush Woble &CW that was what I was wondering. I know he had a long injury in the past. And he was viewed as good enough for us to give him a pair of 2 year contracts. But at this point he’s already proved himself at NLS level, presumably Tonbridge would at least be interested, so worth him pushing on elsewhere.

I believe that loans in the top 6 divisions can only start and end in an active transfer window? Tonbridge are in Step 6 and W&H at Step 7. Might be why we've recalled Horan and not Sutcliffe?

Cadiz is a nice ground to visit, nice old town and the ground is 50m from the beach front.

Quite windy though
Sutcliffe needs regular football and if we can’t give it to him we need to let him move on

Lurker - don't think Horan is out of contract in the summer. He only signed his first pro contract last summer (same time as Nkeng). I think Sutcliffe has already said he's leaving us at the end of the season. Unsurprising as he's 22 and never got close to the 1st team.

Preston - In our situation we can't afford to be fair to other clubs . If any loaned out players can be of help to us, recall them, surely.

common sense
Preston’s they’re mid table with 2 games left. 15 points above relegation and 16 below the play offs. (My first thought was do they have anything to play for - the answer is no).

Walton and Hersham are already promoted- think Tonbridge still have stuff to play for.

Guessing we are trying to be fair to clubs we have loaned players.
