On This Day in 1975
Just signed from Barnet, Billy Holmes (in white shirt) opened the scoring in the 29th minute as the Southern League champion Dons hosted Watford in a pre-season friendly at Plough Lane. However, a four-goala-in-six-minute blast in the lead up to half time put the Hornets in control and they ran out as 4-2 winners. Within two years the clubs would be meeting as Fourth Division equals and by 1986 Watford v Wimbledon was a top flight fixture.

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!

OI - I think all supporters have a right to know to what standards volunteers are being held. You can find out what standards dictirs, teachers, police etc are held - but not AFCW volunteers? Crazy - publish and be damned!

More importantly, TM has promised to blow £400k-gate wide open if you do!
OI you tease! Share the doc and I’ll share which firm we have the £400k dispute with…!

Isn’t it bad how there’s so much smoke and mirrors !
I could publish the copy I have but that seems unfair as it was sent to me confidentially. Anyway, the whole point is that we want people to volunteer (do we have an ESG chair yet? Jury members for DT behaviour?) Some of them might wish to see what they are commiting to before offering.

The weird thing is it is strict in some ways but not dreadful, you don't need to sacrifice your first born or juggle with snakes.
Isn't the solution, just volunteer for something and the DTB will then ask you to sign the CoC which you can then publish?

 [81.lo.gg.ed] 
although I know that that won't happen ;-/
Padds - a rogue DTB member (no names) did send me a copy after the Volunteer Co-ordinator refused to, so it does (did) exist. The DTB members I've talked to tell me it should be published but seem unable to get it published. I could be told that the DTB don't want it available and I'd stop asking but maybe the publicity of refusing would look bad.

 [81.lo.gg.ed] 
it is just crazy, an important document against which people can be judged
OI - as you and I both know the volunteer code of conduct does not actually exist and will be whatever the DTB says it is in the situation presenting itself.

Also like the 2026 World Cup with an aim to promote one person (and his sidecick in FIFA) and overt discrimination against some of the competitors and officials.

CW, funny you should say that, I thought that exact thing. Plus the Sochi games, each trying to garner influences in their own ways.

Should have perhaps reached that with Beijing, but didn't, not sure why with that, seems an obvious thing for the Chinese to align with.
Timmy Magic. I have seen the first episode too. TBH I have had so much time on my hands, due to being unable to work, it was inevitable that I would eventually spread my quest for knowledge to areas that weren't really in my wheelhouse. WW2 has started that journey away from the legal stuff and medical stuff that's directly affecting me. The trouble with that is both medicine and the law drags on and on, with little happening. Thankfully I have surgery on the horizon to hopefully provide some welcome distraction.

WW2 was kind of glossed over for me with both sets of grandparents both deeply affected by it and their reluctance to speak of if. Mentally I think I put up shields against the subject, rather than explore the reasons behind the harm , these giants in my life suffered.
OI- it’s great that theres different content via different channels, but like the WHAD podcast said, the comms and intro to new players on OS has been crap. Hopefully the season launch event on Tuesday will be good

OTD-I went to that game v Watford, as there was a Test match on at he same time I think Papers mocked me for preferring football

Morning all. If you want to read the proper SW19 report on yesterday, you're in luck because it's just been published - [Link]

No need to click on a social media link for it
Because the young people use the socials and not the website, it is only us old farts who use the website and we are unimportant these days until money is required.

A month to go till the anniversary of my first request to put the Volunteer Code of Conduct on the DT website, I'm wondering how to celebrate it
Our daughter held out against Facebook for years, but succumbed in the end because she only got to hear about stuff if someone remembered to text her separately.

AIOW: if you’re into that sort of thing I’d also recommend channel 4s Dictator the hitler interviews - again colourised and really well put together considering it’s a topic well trodden - think it’s just come out (I’ve only watched episode 1/3 so far )

NO
Laurence, morning, that takes me to a X link. I’m not on that platform, I’d have thought the Club might have put out comms about departures and changes on the official site/email spam
