On This Day in 1955
Given total control of first team affairs, Les Henley's first game as manager ended in a 2-1 win over Ilford at Plough Lane. His appointment in the summer of 1955 ended decades when the club's teams were picked by a committee meeting every Monday night during the season. The former Arsenal and Reading man remained in charge until 1971 making him easily Wimbledon's longest serving manager.

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!

Wasn't it a late goal that beat us? I didn't appreciate our younger fans singing :we're f*****g s**t on the Tram back to the City. Wednesday fans laughing at us - great

My dad always said to me that it says a lot about a football club if it needs a drum to create an atmosphere.

Last match at Hillsborough for us must have been either first game or early in “that bloke who took over from Robbo but achieved nothing”’s reign but was possibly the most shameful approach to football I’ve seen us play. It’s ok to be rubbish and ok to be out of our depth but that day we played such anti-football, time wasting from within the first half and doing anything other than play the game it was embarrassing.

I get that the guy must have walked in to a nightmare scenario in terms of club and squad and dons trust board members but that was never going to be the answer. Only lost 2-1 though I don’t think we’ll do that this season.
I suppose Drums come ‘noise making equipment’ which are prohibited on the new health and safety list.

Hate drums at football
Bradford getting absolutely hammered 0-0. I fear it will noe be a pretty sight when we play Wednesday.

Yeah our home form will continue to suck because of the “oh well let’s have a beer” brigade that don’t say it anymore but still live it every home game cosying up to each other for validation while blaming fans for our financial failings.

John Sullivan. Decent keeper and went on to be a very successful “realtor” in the US fair play to him.

Reeves is probably manager material but who knows what he might want to do when he retires. Didn't we have someone in the early AFCW days whose ambition was to be an estate agent?

I'm sure a few here would be worried about the playing style Reeves might go for as a manager

Bob M - we'll see him back when we play Barnet in Vertu Trophy - though presumably he can't play against us!

Oo er missus!
New 9yrspodcast out now. Things feel a little unsettled at the mo, don’t they? Defeat at Huddersfield isn’t anything to obsess over – it was expected given respective resources – but with the squad still being tinkered with ahead of the end of the summer transfer window, it feels the playing staff is a little unbalanced and we seem unsure of exactly how the system works with the personnel available. Stu and I discuss comings and goings alongside the opening day defeat, whilst there’s also talk of the new ticket priority system, stadium admittance policy, and transfer fees. There’s also a new 50.1% Club, and a look ahead to Saturday’s game with Reading. Plus, which song is going with me to a Desert Island? Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube via [Link]

Nice message from Jake, hopefully a decent year at Barnet followed by another at Sutton Utd, maybe

I wasn’t planning on going because of how bad we were on Saturday but it always tends to pull me in somehow. I think sit-anywhere makes more sense as otherwise the stewards are gonna be spending the full 90 mins trying to sort out people sat in the wrong seats and refusing to budge (or playing dumb) - but just because I think something makes more sense doesn’t mean it does or that it’ll happen.

Trigger - away matches are nearly always sit anywhere. I try to stay away from the singers and anyone who wants to stand up in front of me.

Still waiting to hear about the Sutton ballot.
I reckon they'll enforce the sit in your allocated seat, especially if our end is full. I bet everyone stands. I was surprised only just over half of the priority groups bought tickets and it took general sale to really start shifting them. Given how quickly we shifted tickets for Arsenal and Chelsea, I guess Fulham aren't perceived as that big a deal. Also, with it being on a Thursday, a faff with carrying bags, a pain in the arse trying to buy tickets and a leap into the unknown using digital tickets (for those who even can), many probably thought the hill wasn't worth the climb, especially the way we are playing, and gave up.

I hope they've got their tin hats on in the ticket office on Saturday as there may be a queue of people having issues, assuming they have emailed the ticket links by then.
For those who haven’t seen it or can’t see it here is Reevesy’s message as he heads off to Barnet. “ "This moment was always going to come at some point and today it is here. You have all been such a huge part of me and my family's life over three separate spells at our amazing club. I came as a boy and now | leave as a man. "I can only look back with huge pride in what we've managed to achieve together from 2016 to 2025, representing this club at Kingsmeadow and then back at Plough Lane as your captain at our spiritual home has been a huge honour. Lifting the trophy at Wembley to put our club back where it belongs as your captain- those are the days I will never forget (and of course, Ronan Curtis scoring the winner against that lot!). "There are so many people that I would like to thank for affording me these great opportunities to represent your incredible club: David Charles, Erik Samuelson, Ivor Heller, Trevor Williams, Clare McDonagh, Marc Jones, Neal Ardley, Neil Cox, Simon Bassey, Mick Buckley, Johnnie Jackson, Terry Skiverton, Bayzo and so many more - sorry if I missed anyone! "I leave now as a fan and can't wait to see what the Club does next. I wish you all the greatest of wishes and all the success you truly deserve. I look forward to coming back and enjoying a pint with you all after a Wimbledon win! For one last time UP THE DONS, Reevesy”
