On This Day in 1967
Gerry O'Rourke, Dave Willis, Tommy McCready and Bobby Ardrey pose in front of club chairman Sydney Black's Rolls Royce, with its RR1 numberplate, at Folkestone ahead of a crucial Southern League match. The Dons' 4-1 win at Cheriton Road left five clubs still battling for the title - Romford, Weymouth, Nuneaton, Barnet and Wimbledon - as the season entered its final week.

He has just got passed the £10,000 mark but is still short of his target Running the Marathon in that hot smelly fur is going to be tougher this time around now that Haydon is that much older. He turns out to support our team every game at the Lane, now is running 26 miles for the DLAG. Would be good to boost the total if you are able [Link]

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

I’ve seen a rumour that Reeves’ extension was triggered by games played.

Clapdonn- from what’s happened over the years etc. I’ve worked out we offer a contract where we know we want them, we know what we’re prepared to offer. The phrase now seems to include where we’ve had some level of conversation that confirms they either want to stay or are willing to consider. The in discussions is where we want them but don’t know what they want to do, don’t know where we stand on what they might want and/or potentially want to change how we’re going to use them, e.g. expect to be a starter or back up.

Morning all. Yes, I think I also saw Mr Waehler in actual existence, but I'm sure it was at GGL instead

No comment about the Macarena
Was standing close, but not next, to the great Sandy at Whtyeleafe, when he had a raging argument with the ex Sutton Utd player Gynme Berry after he was sent off

As I recall, REPD was attempting to construct a song to him to the tune of the Maccarena.

Went to a WFC reserves game at KM once, and I'm pretty certain Waehler was playing that night for the ressies. REPD may be able to confirm this, as I was sitting next to him that night.

OFFER OF NEW CONTRACT (one of these signed) Ryan Johnson Josh Neufville James Tilley IN DISCUSSIONS (both of these signed) Sam Hutchinson Marcus Browne
We all know Kjetil Waehler, The Invisible Man from our WFC days. He only played 400+ games, despite playing as a teenager and upto the age of around 42, which just goes to show how injury prone he was. He couldn't have been that bad of a player if he played 32 times for Norway. It's just that we never saw him play for the Dons to gauge how good he was unfortunately.

I decided to see if Bert had uploaded a picture of this fella to the Historical Don website as I didn't know what he looked like given he never played and was seemingly permanently injured [Link] According to Wikidepia he was with us for 3 years [Link]

Probably the most pointless signing ever, unless somebody can come up with a better candidate
This one's for Spit. Tom Eaves has been released by Northampton.

MLD - exercising an option means we have triggered a clause that extends their contract. The player has no choice as that was the terms they signed up to when they originally signed their contract. It's a useful clause for the club as if they are any good we get them tied down without further negotiation but if they are crap we can let them go without having to pay them for another year. This differs from offering a new contract because that is a new negotiation that neither party are obliged to offer or accept.

I presume in discussion means no new contract has been offered but each side is assessing each other's appetite for one and the terms of it. Offering a contract is the club showing a firm commitment, although it didn't work with Neufville and Tilley last summer ass they signed elsewhere.
Maybe it’s just ways of covering ourselves ie we offered them something but they didn’t wanna sign

I get what option exercised means fine. But out of interest. what about contract offered versus discussions ongoing. I presume in essence not much difference (they haven’t signed) but in the former case the discussions slightly more positive, Hence some concrete terms on offer? Or am I barking up the wrong tree

Shortly after the start of the 2025/26 season, Hughes moved on his first loan, to League One and AFC Wimbledon. He made his debut there when he started a defeat against Stevenage in the EFL Trophy and played in a win against Crystal Palace Under-21s in the same competition. However, injury then kept him out of action for a prolonged period.

Does anyone know what happened to Brodi Hughes. He was highly rated by Chelsea - came to us on loan - and then never played!!!

Congratulations to Chris Hussey who currently plays at Hednesford Town FC. They won the playoffs to go into the National League North. That makes 10 promotions for Hussey in his career, 2 of them with us.

Forgive my ignorance - what does options exercised mean (compared to offered a contract)
