On This Day in 1973
Including Dave Bassett, Billy Edwards, Dave Donaldson and their feared front pairing of Roger Connell and Keiron Somers, Isthmian League Walton and Hersham gave the Dons a football lesson as they won a pre-season friendly at Plough Lane. "Walton have a team crammed with midfield and striking talent which make the Wimbledon cupboard look woefully bare," the Boro News reported. "What would the Dons give to have an attacking pair like Connell and Somers?" Within a year, the 'Walton Five' had joined manager Allen Batsford in SW19.

50 years ago, a hat trick of Southern League titles and two high profile FA Cup runs were not enough. In the days prior to automatic promotion, club chairman Ron Noades had to travel the country canvassing votes from his Football League counterparts as part of a high profile ‘Dons 4 Div 4’ campaign before the Dons were finally accepted. Relive every kick of Wimbledon’s final non-league year through the pages of the latest edition of The Historical Don with match reports and pictures as well as the memories of Noades, manager Allen Batsford and several members of his all-conquering team. On sale at the home games in August and priced at £3, it is hoped that payments can now be made via a card machine!

C&p'd from local website Quote - Lower Downs Road will have a full road resurfacing and thus be closed, beginning on Monday 17th August 2026 and be carried out over three consecutive days between the hours of 8am and 6pm each day, by the Merton Council contractor FM Conway. This is the full length of the road from it's junction at Kingston Road, through the tunnel and up to the traffic lights at Worple Road. Pedestrian access will be maintained where possible, but will be limited when machines are working in the tunnel.

The Burnley reserves were playing away on the day of the Burnley v Wimbledon cup tie. They heard the result on the radio on the way back to Burnley, and thought it was hilarious.

Bob Stockley and Dave Bassett made sure that Leighton James did nothing for Burnley against us in the famous FACup victory at Turf Moor in 1975

Jim Gregory the QPR chairman tried to buy WFC in the early 70s and used it as a nursery club Bernie Coleman told him to bugger off

Bert - way before Alan Cooper's time. Four or five years IIRC. Bernie Coleman not a bad shout, but I think if he was not in charge, he'sd not be involved on a committee.

48 hours from now we’ll be playing extra time.

Or is the league cup straight to pens these days? Would make sense no one wants extra time before the league season has even started.

DO - I don't think so, I wonder if it was the aforementioned Bernie Coleman. The only other person I can think of is Alan Cooper.
