On This Day in 1973
A near post header from Tommy McCready (No 5) puts the Dons 4-0 up and on their way to a 5-2 Southern League victory over Weymouth in Dick Graham's first game in charge. "My aim is to take Wimbledon into the Football league," the new manager said. "The standard in this league impresses me more day by day. There was more skill here today than in many third and fourth division sides."

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!

You know that the club are desperate for money when they've dug out the video about leaving something in a will to the club. That will impress prospective investors. I said last year we've 18 month's to sort this out and here we are, with less than 6 months to a significant slug of bond redemptions and no cash to pay them, running out of time. I can't pretend to be surprised. If they think a commercial loan is an option, if a lender was stupid enough it would be at an extortionate interest rate and they would want security. Given how long it takes to get anything approved, maybe they should seek the approval they will need from DT members to grant security over the stadium now as they'll need it to offer it. I'm sure they've thought of this ......

Is it me but when managers (Jackson dors it all the time and Cope seems to be copying him) talk about players and refer to "the level" it seems to be a backhanded compliment. Saying somebody is good at the level suggests they are crap at anything above.
Think the secret with all this new tech inc AI is to use it when it's in your interests, not be used by it. I turn off all notifications and don't use social media at all. Some stuff is really useful though, too many examples to list, but dependency is a real issue personally (lost/stolen) phones cause a lot of disruption

My sister doesn’t have a smart phone, only a dumb phone, and it’s permanently in the glove box of her car because she says that she would only ever use it if she broke down in the middle of nowhere (unlikely, she only drives to the supermarket and back once a week…). She only has a landline, and no internet - she can’t use the internet, and doesn’t have a passport or an email address…

Oo er missus!
Already set my emergency alerts to silent and no vibrate. I don't need to be told wild fires are a risk in hot dry weather. I'm not stupid and if I was an alert wouldn't help. Pathetic waste of public resources. The ability to steal ID and basically ruin people's lives increases everytime something else is forced through an app as the only show in town. Youngsters may like it but they're probably the same youngsters who wouldn't get the COVID-19 vaccine because they thought it was to spy on them. Oh, the irony. You just have to hack into somebody's phone and it's all there, especially with GPS. RK may have felt like Cassandra with his warnings about AFCW but I feel the same about mobile phones.

Sorry for the typos in my previous post. I was irritated.
6MDM - there is now a government system (GOV.UK One) that demands a smart phone. As far as I can tell it has not become mandatory for something you legally need to do but is close in some areas. It seems likely that at some point it will become illegal not to have a smartphone.

Six Million, turn off your emergency alerts as well.

I bloody hate phone apps. Oh yeah, save paper and supposed to be more secure except for if you lose your phone and cannot do anything or the f#@k!ng app won't open. I'm not a technophobe but I'm cautious. As a fallback for getting into Fulham I wanted to make sure I had the Google Wallet app and it worked. Guess what? It didn't and I just got a white screen. Google Support were useless. I've still got an open case which I will leave open to see if they come back to me as promised. Following online guidance like updating (and removing updates to) Google Play Services, clearing it's cache and data, force stopping Google Wallet and clearing it's cache and data too, uninstalling Samsung Wallet in case of a conflict, uninstalling and reinstalling Google Wallet, checking for an UI updates, shutting Google sessions in case of any conflicts, pissing about with passkeys, rebooting my phone, etc, etc. Nothing worked. Nowhere did it talks about permissions and that you need to allow Google Play Services access to your phone to allow Google Wallet to work. After many hours of driving myself mad trying to figure out the issue this is what it was.

As soon as that Fulham game is out of the way I'll be uninstalling Google Wallet as I've no need for it. I can see a scenario of life grinding to a halt when there is a phone or network outage or cyber attack and nobody can pay for anything or use anything. Even landlines are moving to VoIP. No falkback. Just trying to safe money and to he'll with the risks. Don't people understand single point of failure? Rant over!
Trig & Hash - perhaps the award of loyalty points for attending cup games is an attempt to boost home attendances in said competition?

At least it suggests that the people that compile these teams do actually watch games.

One caveat I should add to printing out a bar code at home is if these are truly digital tickets using NFC technology, then printing will not work so you will need to either contact our ticket office of Fulham directly. Fulham have some guidance here: [Link]

The Menace - if you have access to a PC you can print off anything you can download or a web link takes you to, even if it is just a barcode. I'll be doing that and asking them to scan that at the turnstile. I'll only offer my phone for scanning as a last resort.

[81.lo.gg.ed] 
If I can't save the web link of the digital ticket as a PDF to print I'll screenshot it and print that. Whatever, I'll have my digital ticket on paper with me!
I sent some questions to the ticket office regarding the loyalty scheme. I wasn't sure if they wanted to respond directly to me or collate questions they may be getting elsewhere and provide a Q&A. If I receive a response I'll share it.

Based on the scoring system published on the OS I agree with the number of points they calculated for me, which is reassuring. I've bought my Fulham ticket but as ever the shitty views are put on sale first and then you gamble on better ones becoming available later on and potentially missing out.
Hash, not received an email but I have 55 points - I think - so I have a chance if I want to go to a restricted away match later on in the season.

FIFA sacks their COO for criticism of Infantino. Just seems to be the modern way - crooked people at the top make up the rules, cheat, lie and steal then block anyone who dares to speak up for what’s right.
