On This Day in 1977
Billy Holmes is grounded (left) as he scores the second goal against Wigan Athletic as the Dons win, what was billed as the tie of the FA Trophy second round, 3-2 at Plough Lane. "Saturday's FA Trophy tie was a day for stout hearts, iron nerves and iron shins," journalist Simon Barnes wrote in his Boro News report. "For the non-league showpiece became a match of wholehearted needle, and irresponsible violence in the tackle."

Who the hell is going to be interested in a 3rd division relegation battle on the second Sunday in March? Yet again Sky show their contempt for supporters as merely irritant. I feel for those who booked flights for this game, only to have their weekends ruined. No doubt the Sky is f#ck!ng shit chants will get muffled for the TV audience (both of them). It the old days you could hear everything. I was watching Chelsea v Blackpool from 1977 on The Big Match Revisited yesterday and after Blackpool scored you could clearly hear the local neanderthals chanting "You're gonna get your f#ck!ng heads kicked in". Brian Moore didn't even bother to comment on it. Happy days.

BD - AFCW have a loose association with Kinetic and have done for years. Why not ask Michael Hamilton?

It was a douche move though KT2 - cost a bucket load more to build it meaning other areas of the stadium are temporary and/or went unfinished (as well) and hasn’t earned a single penny of revenue when that was the sole justification for building it in the first place.

I agree I don’t think it was a vanity project as such - I think it was just a very poor business decision. Given that it’s now office space we’d have been better off using portakabins in the outside areas and having a second permanent stand behind the goal. The stadium is going to cost us a lot of money for a lot of years to come. Dreadful commercial management.
The bet365 bowl, as it'll be called once we've finally sold to someone with some commercial nouse and developed it to its full potential.

Couples in 2055 will be celebrating the 25th anniversary of their wedding at the bet 365 bowl.
Think it's a bit harsh describing the west stand as a vanity project as one recent post did. Approved of the 'future proofing' aspect of the stadium design, ie that west can be extended round into the east and I guess all the way round, instead of starting again from ground up. Know the foundations on the 'temporary' stands would need to be done again but can you imagine the wrap around design when finished? Must be compelling for a potential investor.

Always loved a wrap around in SW17, costs more these days mind. And I maintain that the event venue could be made to wash its face with the necessary investment (and 'working capital').
Last night Craig Cope mentioned that Wycombe have their academy in London now. They are linked with Kinetic foundation - who work with ex academy players , trying to give them another chance . They have a very good track record in getting players signed again . My son did a coaching internship there last year . Really good set up

Next up, Eddie the Eagle, lets hope he doesn't have performance anxiety on the big stage.

Trig, I saw an earlier version of that report where it said that WADA were looking for 'hard evidence'. They seem to have edited that out :)
