On This Day in 1971
Ian Cooke goes close as his hat trick helps the Dons keep alive their slim Southern League title hopes with a 4-0 win over Hillingdon Boro. The FA had ordered the club to display warning notices around the ground in response to a bottle being thrown onto the pitch during an FA Trophy tie in February. But director Alec Fuce was keen to play down talk of hooliganism at Plough Lane. "It is a storm in a teacup over some silly lad who tossed a bottle onto the pitch from behind the goal." he said. "Our supporters have a good reputation."

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]

Lurker, from what I can gather a supplier went bust owing us £400k. There could be other reasons but we can't be told for legal reasons. Yes I know that's a bit repetitive but I really CBA to rephrase it.

Haven't got to any matches this year.
Padds, my parents and brother moved to Weston-Super-Mare in 2004. My parents are long gone but my brother still lives there. Loads of Brummies pop down there for a few days away because it's so easy to get to. Last June I was there and spotted a fair number of Birmingham and Villa shirts. I was wearing a Dons shirt so a few conversations were had.

Missed all this. What is this about missing 400k and it being paid to someone?

I like that, Pete. Made me smile. A couple of years ago we were talking to a waiter in Verona. He said he'd had a Brummie girlfriend and how much he liked the people. He said that when he visited they'd say : 'Harbinyer?' Talk a bit to work out that it was 'how have you been?' what with his accent and all.

Paddington - Brummie accent joke for you:- A Brummie walks into a tailors. "Alroit, mate. I'd like a 70's suit, please." The tailor says, "Certainly sir, and would you like a kipper tie?" Brummie says, "Ta mate, two sugars please."

OMG I just realised I never asked as to whether Womble Of Bodmin Moor got back ok. I hope the journey was ok that really is a long old poke from Plough Lane.

Also sorry to explain that given the 0-3 defeat and 3 senior players going out injured you are now only permitted to travel as close as Leigh Delamare and watch via VPN whilst enjoying a KFC. Not my rules it’s just how things are.
We've found loads of Brummies and Black Country people in Somerset too. They come here for holidays as children and fall in love with it. They're lovely people aren't they? No side, as my mother would have said, not like us lot and Mancs.

Not accents I ever heard in London. Just one bloke I knew from Brum in forty years. None at all in Sussex either.

I shall look that up OI. (I've also been talking to our son about 'thee', 'you' etc and an old English word for 'you' and so on when it's only two of you, a topic Mr P finds intensely irritating).

We've spent the last hour eating curry, drinking beer, and telling each other stuff we're reading on the Internet about Fabergé and his egg- making descendants.

As an aside, any ice hockey fans on? Watching the KHL for the language lessons and it's quite a good standard.
TF - Mark Harris is fucked, so if I was him I'd go the whole hog with a followup email : "Further to my reply to Alex Duckfield, I would like to not only repeat my suggestion he should go fuck himself, but also that he has a microscopic penis, that he does unspeakable things to livestock and that the Glazers are good owners of Manchester United".

Yeah that’s kinda why it’s more humorous than outrageous. Would still expect a league official to exhibit more professionalism but maybe things would be better if more people just said what they mean.
