On This Day in 1959
Geoff Hamm (No 10) is seen on the attack as the Dons begin their defence of their Isthmian League crown by beating Barking 2-0 at Plough Lane. Designed to keep fans dry during wet weather, the newly installed roof over the West Bank acted as a giant sunshade for the 2,207 spectators on a blisteringly hot day.

Sticky
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!

GP shrugging his entire face whilst blaming fans about bonds doesn’t count.
James Woodroof summer update (4 days ago) said we had 4797 season ticket holders. He didn’t say how many supporters only have membership or debentures.

Hash - sorry didn’t explain myself properly. I meant that there may be a knock on effect. Eg less ST holders in general means non ST holders don’t need to go in that north Stand corner Cs more room elsewhere. On a different note, does anyone know if bishop was dropped or did he have a slight knock?

DS - did the club have Double Diamond on tap? Or did they dig out a Watneys Party Seven?

Supermousse for desert was presumably extra
Tbh, it was only the Wimbledon flags above them that made me realise the corner section was home rather than away fans. They barely moved all game.

You’ll be saying Readibrek didn’t create an actual protective glow around you next.

Enjoyed today's game and thought we would be ok, today at least. Reading look average L1 and created little
Skinner - weren't 1970s Birds Eye burgers called beefburgers not hamburgers? And they never came in a bun. Hopefully you also had Smash/Wondermash and Angel Delight/Instant Whip. With a Vesta curry on the menu for next time.

I miss those times. And Connell and Somers - they could have done a job upfront for us today.
I can understand it from a financial point of view - makes sense of course. Sad if it means we have less season tickets - also will probably help away teams with larger contingent

Mark yeah there was something on the OS recently about it. Basically we don't have to have that sterile area of 200 seats any more

Mark the corner had home supporters not away supporters but we have added an extra 200 away seats because of safe standing like in the south stand

Does anyone know if the reason we gave a reading that corner section, because we have less season ticket holders this year?

That doesn’t make for good reading. I do understand that the club needs to prioritise margin but if it’s at the expense of experience then it becomes a race to the bottom and exactly the opposite of what a fan owned club should be doing.

Sadly I feel DS has hit the nail-that-shall-not-be-mentioned on the head in that we are now run by people who, some openly admit, prioritise things other than the success and wellbeing of AFC Wimbledon.
Was invited to the 1889 for some hospitality today. Totally underwhelmed. Apart from the pop up on the stage you would not think you were at Plough Lane - home of AFC Wimbledon. If the club are charging around £50 for the pre match meal they must be making £47 at least. I must have been a kid last time I ate a Birds Eye hamburger. A soulless sad experience that I left and sat in my season ticket seat instead. You feel in the end that some of the club is being run by people that don’t actually support The Dons - and it shows. Back to Greggs from now on.

The stewards were fine again though I preferred the old way where they had a table to check bags on each side rather than two pushed together in the middle.
