On This Day in 1961
John Martin gets across to end a rare Walthamstow attack as the dominant Dons bow out of the Amateur Cup in front of 10,805 fans at Plough Lane. Despite having 80 per cent of the play and generating numerous chances, Wimbledon were beaten 1-0 by Isthmian League leaders Avenue and their outstanding 33-year-old ex-Olympian centre half, Stan Prince. "An air of gloom hung over the club for days," full back George Coote recalled. "We had so desperately wanted to win it.".

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.
I see two or three Bayern players got late bookings yesterday for time wasting. Meaning they are suspended for the second leg with Atalanta but then have a clean slate.

My cat is a ferocious killer after being well trained in hunt and kill techniques for various prey. Absolute beast he will not give up a hunt.

OI I saw the club tweet on behalf of the DTB (who have removed themselves from social media because other opinions are not easily silenced there) - it got no engagement and I’ve seen no further comment before, during or after the meeting until you just mentioned it. I think the vote will go through either way because, well you know.
My cat was 17 in human years or 84 in cat years last week. She's a rescue cat which i when she was just one and her original owners got a bit of a shock when she stopped being a kitten

We had two cats called Iranu and Uvavu (from the Dove From Above round on Reeves & Mortimer's Shooting Stars). Was really funny hearing their names called out at the vet's.

Egg - it’s weird how we miss a cat, I mean they tend to own us rather than the other way around, but their inscrutability makes us like them all the more… Ours died just over a year ago, and is still missed - the diabetes did for him eventually. He was called Leon because we picked him up just a day or so after we’d been to see Kings of Leon… When I was young, my parents had a beagle dog they called Cristo because my mum fancied the actor Alan Badel, one of the stars of the 1964 TV series The Count of Monte Cristo!!

Was there an explanatory meeting on March 9th on 50%+1? If so, did anyone who posts here go? Was it well attended? Useful? Open communication?

I called my cat Paul Robinson because I got her the day Paul Robinson done that mental goalkeeping error in Croatia - I thought she was a bloke until the vet said she was a bird so I called her Joan, she ended up getting called Joan-Paul, she died last year and I miss her loads

Just received yet another email from the “Collective” urging/pleading for me to vote now in the 50.01 Vote. They seem to be getting desperate – realising that they won’t reach the 50%+ turnout requirement. They should have thought about that before they “massaged” the membership numbers - forcing an opt out rather than an opt in. Much as I love the Club I am not prepared to participate in a “Collective” Industrial & Provident Society vote to determine whether they should exercise a 50% or 75% majority – either of which allows them control to continue usurping the interests of the 5000+ true fan owners. But I am looking forward to the game tonight!!!

This isn’t a political post I feel for the players who have worked so hard to qualify and through no actions of their own will not play in the competition.
I’ve always loved this Country Joe & The Fish song from Woodstock… [Link] and it’s a poignant moment for him to take leave of the world… :(

That’s not supposed to be an overtly political point, it’s just that the song (and the Woodstock film) had an impact on me back then, and it still does…

75 years young yesterday - still love the Dons!
My new copy of When Saturday Comes has arrived this morning, including an article celebrating their 40 years in print this month. Their highlight from 2002 is about WFC... "The FA commission managed to conjure up two arguments for the move that should astonish most football fans. Believe it or not, one of the most important reasons for the decision was that "MK provides a suitable and deserving opportunity in its own right where none exists in south London". Savour that concept: the suitable and deserving opportunity. In one glib, ignorant phrase the commission has swept aside more than 100 years of football clubs trying to advance themselves by actually beating their opponents and winning games".

Leave somebodies up [Link] it not only gives you a chance of a quick break but it affects the opposition's corner routines if players have to stay back.

My mate and I went by train to a midweek Southern League match at Romford in the 70s. Got there a bit late, and the bloke on the turnstiles said Romford had just missed a penalty. We were singing Dickie Guy's praises until we got sight of the pitch and realised that Romford were playing someone else, not the Dons. It was a cup replay which had taken precedence over our league match.

Spent most of the rest of the evening in a Romford pub. We must have been 16 or so but underage drinking didn't seem to matter then.
Just read that a Barcelona fan arrived in London to travel to St James's Park, Newcastle...... but ended up in Exeter instead. 😀

I heard another story once, of a couple asking their driver to take them to Stamford Bridge and ended up at Stamford Bridge, Yorkshire.
