On This Day in 1973
Dave Armstrong heads for goal as the Dons are well beaten by title chasing Yeovil Town in a Southern League match at the Huish ground. With nearly 4,000 in attendance and a well-funded 'Elect Yeovil' campaign to secure Football League status in full swing, visiting supporters could only look on with envy as their near penniless club slipped still further down the pecking order.

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]

HB RP. Sadly (or maybe thankfully) my birthday isn't during the football season. I have the delight of various World Cup group matches on my birthday this year which don't include England so I won't be watching. England and Scotland matches only for me.

Some excellent places in Glasgow I can recommend if your night is still going.
Mark if there was a way to have done it we probably would. Jackson and Cope aren’t on a pisstake here. I know you’re doing the internet thing of arguing your point regardless but we didn’t have anyone else that met the criteria. Him and Orsi would have been the ones we could do a deal on to make the money free. Outside of those 2 all the players with experience to be marketable and a salary worth cutting were higher up the pecking order.

Thanks to Tom Swig and Trigger for advice earlier re getting our game shown in a pub in Glasgow. Unfortunately I did see the game.

Not a great outcome for my birthday :(
The Bugiel saga today showed a lack of professionalism all round. Bugiel should know the rules, so when we stopped to make our two subs, he should have gone down for treatment and could then have come off. Our bench should have spotted Bugiel was moving awkwardly, so poor all round. Also, we should have made the two subs at ht - then we'd have had a window and a sub in hand for 2nd half. I said this at HT so not being wise after the event!

Wimbledon bit starts after out 27 mins
Oo er missus!
Major challenge Keefy. Our goalscorers are already both playing above themselves and aging out. Budget is going to be lower next season by all accounts and even lower in comparison to other L1 clubs. So we won’t exactly be shopping for locally sourced organic quince at the farmers’ market.

Craig Cope has done wonders (has also made some errors but that’s what human beings do) but he can’t produce miracles.
Depends which city. Certainly some were pink but I think at least one was green

Main target for next season must be striker that can kick ball on target

Also think Seddon is not as good at left centre back
Mark, wasn't there a change in strategy at that time with JJ opting for a more attacking formation?

Stockport had Louie Barry, one of their better players, sent off today, so presumably will miss the game at our place as they have no league game next weekend as they are at Wembley in the EFL Trophy final

I know I’ve said this before but when we signed Bauer in the summer, JJ highlighted that we were short of centre backs ( as we play 3, you’ve gotta agree with that sentiment)….So what changed this in January window?

Harbottle wages freed up Tilley wages so I’m told

That great strategy included the bloke on loan from Switzerland I hear…. That worked out well…. Maybe just maybe there was a way to have BOTH Tilley and Hardbottle

if we hadn't let Orsi and Harbottle go, we possibly couldn't have afforded to sign Tilley. Looks bad now but he hadn't exactly figured much in the season up till then.

Mark we let Harbottle go to raise funds to get Tilley. If we hadn’t done that we almost certainly wouldn’t be anywhere near 50 points right now. It was JT coming in that kick started that recovery period. His play made a big difference. So much as I liked RH. With that choice I’m 100% with Jackson and Cope.

CW - disagree with the retrospect comment. Loads saying it back then when he was released. What was most worrying today, was the first time it seemed we almost threw in the towel - not seen that before
