On This Day in 1967
Cambridge United goalkeeper Haggis punches the ball off the head of Gerry O'Rourke as the Dons are held to a 1-1 draw in a top-of-the-table clash at Plough Lane. Seeking to register their eighth Southern League home win in a row, Wimbledon should have won after the rugged visitors were reduced to ten men for almost all of the second period when John Turley was sent off. Still in contention for the title on the season's last day, a defeat at already relegated Bath City forced Les Henley's men to accept a 4th placed finish.

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.

On sale for £2 from outside the club shop at the Bradford, Northampton and Blackpool matches.
RK, they had a lot of loanees. Jack Currie was defending and loanees scored 32 of their 72 goals. [Link]

Amen to that. Plenty of fixtures left yet against teams below us in the table. Let’s attack them while we’ve got goals back in us.

Said a couple of times I think we have enough for safety, barring some terrible luck with injuries. 2 wins from the next 2 should all but seal it :)

We seem to be trying outright to win every game at the moment regardless of oppo. Long may it continue.
I hope Foyo's loan doesn't turn out to be another gamble.

My schoolmate was at the players kit sponsor do last night. Had a good time and a few photos with players.(although his best ever photo is in the 70s with Harry 50 years ago:-)

As last year's losing PO finalists, surprising to see Orient down there

If you look at the form over the last six games, the top 6 teams are averaging 12 points from them with bottom 6 averaging 5 points so there is a clear pecking order in the league. We only need 4 of the bottom 6 to continue in that vein and we ought to be safe but I'll really relax when we reach 52 points.

2nd 6 averaging 9 and third 6 (including us) 8.
Certainly feeling a sense of relieved optimism given the recent uptick in form. Think we’re 8 points (and possibly more importantly quite a few clubs) above the drop zone now. A win at Mansfield would probably help silence any nagging doubts. They’ve got a game on the Tuesday following then it’s their FA Cup game home to Arsenal a week Saturday. Not sure how that might affect them positively or negatively, but I hope that based on recent performances that we go there looking for all the points.

I’d be happy enough with a point, all depending on how the day goes.
Thanks again Nick. I didn't actually know who or what you were quoting but I got the gist of it. Nice of Fishenden to respond to you and for you to take the trouble to find out from the man himself.

He was probably surprised this topic of conversation was taking place over something 40 years ago.
6m$ & Nick - noted. CW - sounds right too.

Reading back to last night's postings, I'm slightly surprised that fabs are still nervously looking over their shoulders, what with the form we're in and the points gap. Obv aware that football fans are of a "nervous disposition"

Well I don’t wanna get into it but our losses include salaries. But… to keep the tone lighter I have congratulated Michele directly (I don’t think she’d mind me mentioning her in this context) and the superb work she and whoever alongside have done in the past on converting bonds to equity/donations. Highly important work and a pretty successful amount converted over. No idea whether that work continues but either way it was and or is good stuff.

Snoop at Swansea. Can we get Fun Boy Three interest in joining the REMBE consortium?
I think you can rest assured that your £3 is going into the black hole of losses not anybody's pocket Trigger.

Fish deffo played pre season in 86/7 but only one sub in those days so he probably had to mooch around in the reserves before his 2 loan spells

Oh was it my moral? I’ve got no problem with anyone earning interest on their bonds - that was the deal everyone signed up to 👍

$6m dollar man I messaged Paul and asked him and that was a quote from his reply. He also said how welcome returning players are made to feel at the Lane

If a board member is getting interest on a bond, that doesn't worry me. At the end of the day, It's money to the club.

TF - as long as I get the ticket for Stevenage I'll live with it. Their prices are not Mansfield or Orient style rip off prices (hence I'm ducking Mansfield like I did Orient as my mini protest but I've already got my accommodation booked for Lincoln, Burton and Wigan), so even with the postage (which feels a bit OTT for what will no doubt be a 2nd class stamp and a cheap envelope its stuck on with the ticket inside, should it ever get posted). At the end of the day I have paid to see the match, not to receive a ticket, so if it gets lost they will have to resolve it one way or another. When everyone starts charging £30 a game I'll have to reassess my cut off point.

I'm lucky in that I live about 40 minutes from Plough Lane so when match tickets are physical tickets, I either pick them up before a home game or just pop over there one lunch time when I'm in the general area. I try to avoid the post as much as possible because it is too unreliable.
I thought the confirmation Fishenden didn't play in the first division was the quote "played at Huddersfield [where we won promotion in May 1986] but never kick[ed] a ball [in the] top flight.

Clive Leatherdale's book lists out the players for every game, including an end of season summary. Fishenden did not feature in 1986/1987.
Spit - yes Fish went out on loan twice in 86/7, but did he get a game for us as well?

I don’t mind so much given the finances but it might be nice to know who’s pocketing that money.

Wouldn’t be happy if it were a board member.
I can remember watching a match at plough lane ,then after going to Fulham to watch fishenden on loan debut.in 86.
