On This Day in 1967
Goalkeeper Andy Smith grabs the ball before Ian Cooke can strike as the Dons play out a hard-fought Southern League draw with champions Romford. Having failed to beat their east London rivals in their five previous meetings, there was some trepidation ahead of the side's FA Cup meeting later in the month. "We want to end the bogey this time, "club secretary John Young said. "We hope that our cup luck holds in the second round and then who knows..."

The Internet of things should be a wondrous thing int he future but in this early era where tech bros and foreign agents want to use it all as mass surveillance and voter tracking then yeah it’s open to abuse and hackers may be doing society a service by messing things up now and then.

Certainly won’t be buying an LG TV anytime soon.
OI - I guess it’s for company consistency? There are, for example, over 4,000 branches of Tesco in the UK, so maybe it’s convenient to have them all set from one place (or maybe area by area in groups) rather than having to train thousands of employees in setting and adjusting the temps?

Can anyone explain why when a salesman came along to supermarkets and said you could have all your freezer temperatures set remotely, the executives all thought it was a great idea? What could possibly go wrong?

on a lesser scale I'm not having my fridge, heating, lighting set remotely thanks
In fact, OI, it looks like the bond maybe £10k lighter than a week ago - was sure it was £1,093,000 last week

a4e - not a lot. That's the way of all things in media at the moment. The journalist involved is an established, well-known British football finance journalist.

I’m expecting Blackpool to be on and I’m also expecting it to be a difficult game. They’ve conceded the same number of goals as we have (21) (!) so far this season but they’ve scored 17 to our 9 which pretty much tells you where we are with our lack of ability to defend or attack.

Let’s see how it goes up at Crewe and whether any injured players continue their returns otherwise I can see a 1-2 home defeat to Blackpool because they can score and we can only get one per game.

Thanks to anyone who has looked at this Wimbledon shirt on eBay [Link] There are 5 bids so far and 11 people currently watching it, with 1 day to go… I won’t post about it again until sold, and I’ll let everyone know how much was raised for DLAG :)

Yeah who knows these days. Seems like an independent and small outfit trying to make its way in the cut throat world of modern media. I’ve had to stop relying on the BBC for news because it was becoming highly biased. Difficult to find anywhere these days that isn’t.

As for your post yesterday about Bromley - seems it’s now a done deal for KR to join them as manager. It feels like the two of them should be together. I hope they get relegated.
OI i expect the money we got for Junior Nkeng will partially cover that 600k at least

The PLB has pretty much frozen whilst the offer is considered. It might suddenly get a boost were the offer to be rejected but at present a 600K hole would need to be covered by a loan from elsewhere. I'd doubt that we'd be in administration in the spring but we'd be on a very slippery slope towards both administration and losing our league place.

Trigg - indeed ;) and meanwhile, I see that Josimar is a pretty small entity from Norway, and its owners attempted to sell it just over a year ago due to their continued inability to turn a profit, but they were “unsuccessful in securing a buyer”… Not sure what that says about Josimar, if anything…?

It’s the disingenuous language around going bust that concerns me about the deal. I can understand why the board would use this tactic because they’re untrustworthy liars but I don’t think it was necessary. People understand that our current financial situation is unsustainable. What they want is a deal that is solid and trustworthy.
4th Nov 2026 09:58:04 
 [195.lo.gg.ed] 
We’ll find out in time if this is the case. I have no reason to believe it is not but I have good reason to not believe what the board tells us.
Re issue of "going bust" ;nothing is certain, of course, but we have debt repayments circa £1m due next year. On the annual £2.4m losses, don't forget they're not "cash losses" as they include £1m depreciation and exclude player transfer income, so a bit smoke & mirrors

Nevertheless, the debt repayment "iceberg" ahead is real and is the biggest financial challenge short to medium term
Thanks Hash

When do you suppose we will be lucky enough to know if the home to Blackpool game is on or not?

it is a good session worth watching apart from the 'speeches'. Hugh Rosen particularly impressive.
Apologies OI & Meadow I know we don’t do politics on here and I am very glad about that but the world does feel slightly more optimistic this morning. That’s all.

Back to footy for the sake of Naz and everyone - mahoosive game up next away at Crewe. 4th in league 2 but they’ve only won 5 of their 14 league games to date. It’s their 7 draws that have propped up their points total. They do tend to score in most games though so we’ll have to do something crazy to reach R2
Oo er missus!
It is one of those things where we will just have to trust the due diligence process and that between our own due diligence (which was to IFR standard and looked at proof of funds, source of funds and wealth as well as 'politically exposed persons') and that of the EFL and the IFR that it will find anything that is actually dodgy rather than speculative or 'he has hung around with some people who we don't like (i think most rich people will have)

DD - I'm not really comfortable to report back on what the article said given it has been pulled, presumably due to legal intervention. It dug pretty deep into source of funds. I think having watched the second meeting, one's view of the deal shouldn't necessarily stand or fall on Mr Mir, but it is very clear he is an unusual character with an unusual path through the last few years.

Josimar has an interesting pricing model, you can get one day access for $9.99, 1 month for $3.99.
