On This Day in 1975
Giant Bath City custodian Kenny Allen clears the ball as Roger Connell closes in on the afternoon the bottom of the table visitors shocked Southern League leaders Wimbledon with a 2-0 win at Plough Lane. "I thought we were a shade unlucky with both goals but certainly too many of our players seem to think we have a divine right to win," manager Allen Batsford reflected afterwards. "We knew how they were going to play but we found it very difficult to break down their defence."

Despite leading his side to the Ryman League play-offs in the wake of the ‘Darlogate’ affair, Dave Anderson was sacked after defeat at Bromley cost the Dons their chance of promotion. “There are three things I never thought I would be asked,” the manager said in the wake of his departure. “To switch on the Christmas lights in Wimbledon, to appear on Sky Sports News and to be told that the Prime Minister has just mentioned your name in Parliament. It’s been an honour to be involved from day one and it is an experience I will never forget.” With interviews with player-of-the-year Antony Howard and others, relive every kick of a momentous campaign in the latest edition of The Historical Don.

On sale for £3 at the next few home games. Card or cash accepted.
Chorley or Worcester away. We played Chorley in the Trophy in 77 and need revenge. Worcester play at the rugby ground so plenty of away tickets

Outcome is irrelevant in the FA Cup for me it’s all about the romance 🕺

The above statement stands until we lost at home to Leatherhead or Yeovil Town
It will be Sutton United or Borehamwood and we all know what the outcome will be.

[Link] Latest ball numbers following today’s results (Berkhampstead beat Southend) for tomorrow’s draw. I normally prefer a romantic northern wasteland away trip but I like the look of Plymouth Parkway because it sounds like it’s close to a train station.

I thing it was Duck who scored the goal in our 1-0 NYD defeat at Lower Mead 1975

days before the Burnley FAC3r game
Because of an OTD recently I looked up “George Duck” who is a Wealdstone legend apparently.

The surname Duck is predominantly a product of a nickname for someone who had a funny or unusual walk.
Allen had an absolute blinder in the epic Fa Cup game against Bath City in 1974 until Mick Mahon’s injury time screamer beat him, real Roy of the Rovers stuff

Spartan-Allen sounds like the sort of surname of a player we’d get on loan these days he’d get off to a good start then slowly work his way out of the team and in years to come someone would ask “who was that bloke who…?”

Big week ahead for the football club.
Spartan-Allen also played at Bournemouth and was there when we got a last gasp equaliser and won in extra time in the FA Cup in 1978 to earn a plum home tie with Southampton, he must have cursed us

"My dear, you are a Palace fan and tomorrow morning I will be sober but you will still be a Palace fan", bastardised version
Palace fans have seen their team win the fa cup and a European trophy in the last two seasons, must be gutting to be them!

Women get a draw against Oxford and become the first side to take a point off them after seven straight wins. Great result against a semi-pro side.

If you watched the FM27 pre-launch videos they had Dan Sweeny playing as a defensive midfielders. I wonder whether that would be an option for us. If we could keep a back three of Seddon, Johnson and Ogundere and have him anchoring a midfield three and being the midfield general.

Yiadom was signed as a back-up not a starter.
I liked Yiadom at first but I am now starting to see why Reading released him. He makes mistakes every game and in the last two cost us points. At Plymouth his kick was what resulted in their last seconds winner and yesterday his bambino on ice ricket just after they edged in front basically signalling game over with 50 minutes left to play. We've nobody else other than that Brighton kid so we are struggling as we have no control in midfield, only Stockley can score if he gets service and the defence is looking decidedly shakey.

I hope Cornick gets up to speed as he looked way off the pace in his cameo yesterday. Browne looked OK but we had zero goal threat.
3 goals in 6 minutes for Brighton - just shows what taking shots can result in, a lesson for all teams in there somewhere….
