On This Day in 1960
Roy Law gets above Tooting's Paddy Hasty but despite taking the Surrey Senior Cup semi-final replay into extra time, the Dons lost 1-2. After failing to beat their fierce rivals in any of their seven meetings that season, Wimbledon fans were forced to watch in frustration as the Terrors went on to complete a league and cup double. "I didn't know it then, but we were to gradually overhaul them in the years ahead," supporter Andy Fullard recalled. "By the time we left the Isthmian League in 1964 we were by far the better team."

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]

I have vague recollections from my A Level physics days of wave particle duality, which is what the double slit experiment was trying to demonstrate (all matter and radiation exhibit both wave-like (diffraction, interference) and particle-like (localised interaction) properties depending on the experiment). We are going back 40 years and I've forgotten most of it. However, until today I never even heard of Schrodinger and his cat. OI's link was helpful to understand the concept he was disproving but, like him, I still do not understand quantum mechanics and glad I abandoned this academic route when I did, although becoming an accountant (after doing an exercise physiology degree) was a strange career path.

I still enjoy learning about new stuff and hate it when it gets the better of me.
Why is the Wales semi playoff being played at Cardiff City and not the Millenium Stadium?

All seem like good ideas - as long as they’re applied.
Tilley was the right fit for the manager at Wycombe then he got sacked and the new guy obviously didn’t fancy him, to be fair Wycombe have soared up the table since

There are people that can be dead and alive at the same time though. Some post here ...

The one thing that gets forgotten was that Schrodinger was stating that the cat couldn't be alive and dead at the same time, which he thought disproved a quantum mechanics theory. The best explanation I have ever read is a few posts down here [Link]

6mdm keep away from The Double Spit Experiment then. A very simple experiment but the results are the stuff of fever dreams.

To sum the experiment up: The universe behaves differently when it knows it’s being watched.
I'm not sure many people in the world understand quantum mechanics.

OI - true. With Neufville, the Bradford supporters I knew were unsure when they signed him and didn't know anything about him* and didn't see how he could take Halliday's place - 2 weeks later he was one of their best signings ever! They've not mentioned him much recently though

* I'm guessing they didn't know much a bout one of the main players from a side that got promoted alongside them as Bradford are obviously massive!
Just spent the last 10 minutes watching clips about Schrodinger's cat. Maybe this cold I've got has temporarily (hopefully) nullified my brain but whilst I don't understand it's quantum mechanics meaning, strangely I do get how what it's supposed to mean applies to Nick Drapers witticism about budgets being both good and bad at the same time.

My view on the Goodman situation at the time was that if Palace wanted to further his development more with a L1 loan, then he may have been better off staying with us behind a defence that he already been successful with. I'm less fussed now though.

I think part of Tilley and Neufville was money but a lot was ambition. Neufville has done OK and Bradford are still in with a reasonable chance of promotion. Not sure what went wrong for Tilley at Wycombe, he is clearly good League 1 standard. Maybe he'll choose to come back if Wycombe want him off the wage bill but he might equally get sold to a richer League 1 club.

I think that’s why they kept doubling down AIoW - an apology won’t cover the stuff they’ve done. They’ll have to go.

Airsy - Goodman was highly unpopular at Huddersfield this season. Haven’t seen how he’s settled at Barnsley I think maybe he’s a bit like us and is pretty good at L2 level but unconvincing in L1…
NickD's Schrodinger's Budget,comment had me chocking on my dry roasted peanuts. AFAICT Nick Robertson has been pretty hands on, he spoke well at the meet the board meeting and was cited as being involved with exploring possible outside investment/enablement, I think. I do agree with Laurence in regard to the shenanigans around the voting and losing good business people in the process. I seriously hope that the investigation proves in favour of Shane and that there's a prominent and fulsome apology forth-coming.

But, then again, I'm still baffled by the decision to let Ball go.

Trig - re: Orsi. Personally, I think we'd have been better off taking our transfer budget this season and used it keep Tilley and Neufville. The impact of Tilley since January would go some way to back this up and we are really still playing with the rest of the play-off team otherwise (apart from Harbottle and Goodman* not being with us now and Seddon with us now)

I’m assuming the player jumping is called Jake…?

…the peg, with the extra leg… (probably not meant to mention that song any more, obviously…)
However I am still seeking accountability for the way the boards and ESG and secretariat behaved over the last two elections and one incident further back. I’m not going to give a running commentary on these things but interesting to know that two regulatory bodies will soon be investigating rather than just seeing the trust to report on itself and say that everything was done properly and well.

It is interesting that Iain Macnay, who probably has the most experience on the boards of building and running a business, was telling us years ago that we needed more external investment. He got lots of grief, including from me, but maybe he did know what he was talking about.

Nick Robertson may be richer but there was an element of 'right place, right time with his success and he hasn't run a company for as long. Still a good guy though.
I don’t think I’ll be standing for election again this year - I think the board will use the new constitution to stop me being a member for a start and, tbh, I think Elvis has left the building in terms of being able to run the trust/club better now. Any improvements I might have sought to fight tooth and nail to make up against the quicksand of the current boards would be too little too late.

I sincerely hope 50+1 works out and we get some proper leadership in place. Clear the decks of the trash that’s accumulated and try to maintain a position in League One without repeated relegation battles. I agree with Nick - on the pitch things have been pretty good for a while now, but those folk need the off the pitch people to level up considerably if they are to be able to continue doing their jobs well.
Orsi has at least now scored a goal for Crawley

Alright alright it was a penalty but still 🙃
and you have the fantasy £400,000, which we cannot be told about even though we are owners. It is no way to run a business.

Vote Shane
Nick - the DTB got sidetracked with personal grievances which resulted in Rule 10, and that saw business minded people resign from the Board in protest, and never suitably replaced.
