I became a supporter in 1977 but I was too late for the Southern League triumphs, so I have only witnessed us winning 4 titles in almost 50 years (4th Division in 1983 in the WFC era and then the Combined Counties in 2004, the Ryman 1st Division in 2005 and then the Conference South in 2009 in our current AFCW guise. Winning another one seems a long way off.

Spit-why? Even we could score against the likes of Altrincham and Forest Green

I'd be quite supportive of a sudden rule change in the next few days for 3 up-3 down between Leagues 1 and 2

3 up 3 down the way to go,teams in the national.league on 107,105 and 92 ,deserve to get promotion

But we might need it to get back up ;)

Looks like i was well out, happy 50th birthday Dons outlook (not Andy he is younger than that:-)

I don’t support 3 up 3 down as we could go down because of it!!!!

4% doesn't sound particularly enticing though, considering you can get a 1-year fixed rate bond for 4.6% with just a minimal bit of Googling.

Will be finding a pub in Wigan with a DAZN subscription so I can watch the big Rochdale v York promotion decider. Nothing against Rochdale at all I’d be delighted if they got back into the league via the playoffs* but I’ll be backing York to get the automatic promotion spot.

Yeah not got a problem with the bond to pay bonds scheme like I say not exactly inundated with alternative options right now. Those who wish to stick their money in the pot good on em.

In fact Dons outlook probably started in 1976 as charlie Addiman wrote a bars and bogs guide to the southern league for 76/77

Morning all. TF - I wouldn't particularly read too much into the status of any (non) progression in that update. These things take a good while at the best of times, and you're not going to get a running commentary until something tangible happens.

Dons Outlook was definitely around in 1977 as I still have copies of them somewhere. They used to have a white cover with the same black and white picture on each issue in the middle of it from the Leeds FA Cup match (I think it was Dave Donaldson tacking Duncan McKenzie).

The bond info looks sensible. I'm pleased there are (younger?) folk with sufficient trust to roll over their bonds and people willing to invest in new bonds.

It’s going to be a long week waiting for the Wigan game.

Think the original Dons Outlook was called Supporters outlook nd first came out in about 1977

More bonds to pay off previous bonds🧐

Or travel from Preston…

Dons outlook, the original first wimbledon fanzine, but what year did it start, my guess 1983?

CORRECTION: train back from Birm MS leaves at 19.43 and arrives Marylebone at 21.53.

Or fo the truly frugal, Victoria CS 07.30, Manchester CS 12.10, Man. Vic 13.09, Wigan 13.50. Return Wigan 17.49, Man, Vic 18.33, Man CS 19.30, Victoria CS 23.50. Coach fare £20.30 plus £5.80 train fare = £26.10. A long day, but a cheap one and well worth it if we win!

Even cheaper: National Express to Birmingham £17.10 return - 07.30 Vic Coach Stn, 10.30 Birm CS, return 19.40 Birm CS, Victoria CS 22.35. Train as in previous post. Total cost £47.10.

I see train tickets to Wigan are £114 return. There are cheaper ways to get there. Train from Marylebone to Birmingham Moor Street £40 return and thence Birmingham New Street to Wigan, £30 return. 09.32 Marylebone, 11.36 Birm MS, 12.07 Birm NS, 13.37 Wigan. Return, 17.31 Wigan, 19.06 Birm NS, 19.40 Birm MS, 10.35 Marylebone.

Mitch Pinnock named in the L2 team of the season.
