On This Day in 1966
Seeking to establish themselves amongst the leaders in their second season of Southern League Premier division football, David Hyde goes down on one knee as he tries to force the ball home against Hillingdon Boro at Plough Lane. Eventually breaking down a side operating an efficient offside trap, Hyde was amongst the scorers in a 3-0 win. The crowd of 2,719 was depleted as two coach loads of fans had gone on a supporters' club trip to visit to the Blackpool illuminations.

If anyone is interested in owning part of the best pub in Wimbledon, following last nights meeting the investment opportunity has opened up. I’m sure you are all sick of being asked for money to prop up a struggling institution, but this one is a bit different [Link] Good to see a fair few Wimbledon supporters at the meeting too.

I agree with OI, this isn't a twenty pound note lost on the street, an explanation of sorts is needed and any lessons learned from the episode mentioned.

It happens, I've had a company go bust owing me money. However the whole thing could be finished with by a simple statement that says "The money was paid to company X and is not recoverable. We have taken steps to tighten our policies so a repeat is less likely".

and nobody any longer saying it can't be explained for legal reasons
Only getting 7300 at home against Wigan and seemingly loads of spare seats still for Saturday isn't going to help our financial cause. Only once did we go under 8000 last season, could it be twice already before the end of September?

£30 for an away ticket.
How do I find out if I have a priority group, last bought a ticket before all this malarky started.

Inclined to agree with Silk. If I remember correctly we paid a company to provide a service for us and that company then went bust so we lost the money - i also seem to recall another club being affected? Huge near catastrophic error for a club like us - i guess the key learning questions would be did we do the right due diligence on this company and if not, why not and how will we make sure we do it next time we are parting with 400k for something.

100%
The £400k cannot be replaced. It is gone, finito, kaput. Unless someone is willing to dip into their back-pocket and come up with it is it gone. So we should stop going on about like a nagging wife when you forget to put the washing out. What we need to ensure is that we have learned from the fuck-up and make sure we don't do it again.

One thing you learn in life is everyone makes mistakes the biggest test of character is whether the person who makes mistakes leans from it and others can accept the mistake. I would be more interested in the DTB telling me how they are going make sure it will not be repeated that constantly having a dig about it.
Or, put another way, if we hadn’t lost the £400k (in “the event”, that we can’t discuss) we would still have a cash shortfall, but it would be £400k smaller than the shortfall we have now.

“It doesn’t need to be replaced”

Can you imagine actually saying that? It needs to be replaced. It needs to be explained. And it needs to be acted upon. It’s £400,000 while the club puts out begging comms for more money. Disgraceful. Ashamed of nothing.
That’s not exactly an answer though is it Timmy? As you well know mate your position as a clique defence pawn is well accepted. Just because the £400k has been accounted for does not explain why fans and members have been asked to donate money and blamed for not donating enough money while £400,000 has gone from the club with no explanation, no conversation and no accountability.

And don’t you dare tell us that it’s because there’s a legal case going on because there is not.

What is the cash position though Tim?

 [86.lo.gg.ed] 
If it"s whay i think it is, cash position is same as accounting = no cash implications?
TF, it doesnt need to be replaced, it’s already accounted for in the accounts - it’s all available / afcw plc June 2024 accounts , page 26

“We have made full provision for it in the accounts as we believe it is unlikely to be recovered”
Different rules in the champions league?

Not watching the game. The new format doesn’t work for me because these games don’t really matter.
I thought if the keeper went down for treatment without a free kick, another player had to be off for a minute (or two?). Didn't seem to happen at Napoli. Anyone know why?

Go for it UA these things should be able to be discussed. Our zero-accountability culture delivers poor results.

Bored of cowards.
They also just tickled our tummies after punching us in them at the end of last season as well.

They went into administration in 2003 and got promoted the following season. I’m the same as many and have really enjoyed the benefits of fan ownership but recently those benefits have gone away and the fan ownership vision has been abused. Private ownership is no silver bullet and I’d rather we didn’t have to entertain it, but to batten down the hatches and not be aware of it as a realistic scenario is crazy.
Oooh, don’t get me started on the “management” of our finances…

Huddersfield with a similar turnover to us made a £22m pre-tax loss in 2024–25. [Link]

4 up front from corners is the new 11 men in the box. New Chelsea manager does it too.

Brilliant by Napoli to leave 4 players at half way when Arsenal got a corner. No pre-rehearsed routines would work for Arsenal

Yeah debt man comes running if he don’t get his money.

Perhaps whoever it was last night seeking attention over their half a million bond would consider flipping it to a donation. Once the £400k is replaced that’s a clean £100k towards the debt interest what an absolute mess our financial team have got us in.
DO - maybe I should take the risk…
