I almost got puked on before the franchise game in the west stand concourse as someone who clearly had a skinfull launched a puke projectile. I literally missed getting covered by not arriving a split second earlier. It bloody stank too. I agree in the 1980s on sparsely covered terraces leaning up against a crash barrier was a different time. Nowadays, if a goal goes in beer on the ground would get kicked over or somebody holding it would spill it. It's just Burnham trying to appear in touch with the common man and gesture politics.

It's good that we don't use Sparkular machines at Plough Lane.

Haven’t talked to anyone yet who does want alcohol in the stands. Interested to know what the youngsters think about it. Will have to watch a vlog.

Things change. Prior to the football beer ban, we played in Divs 2,3 & 4. At home or away, I would normally be standing on the terraces. Generally not very crowded - especially away from home. So beer was not a problem - plenty of space - can't remember getting beered or puked on on the terraces. Now it is all seating, and (especially at home) pretty full, we have potential problems that did not exist before the ban.

Bucks Womble - not just you. I find that and the players doing a lap of honour and fist pumping 3 times for a bog standard league game OTT too. All that lining up and shaking hands is needless too. Just get in with the game.

Apropos of very little, Jackson’s videos interviews always make me howl. Especially with the post-match ones, they usually finish mid-frame of him removing his mic the SECOND the interview finishes. Look out for it! Also on our interviews, is it only me or is it increasingly annoying that they always end with a ‘word about our fantastic fans.’ Think I find it a bit patronising that it happens EVERY time…

I'm more positive. We'll set out not to loses and steal a goal in the last 10 and hang on to win. Scooby Doo's Freddie* to get the all important winner

As usual with the few away games I’m able to get to, I’ll go with low expectation and just a smidge of hope - that way I’m neither too surprised nor too disappointed if/when we get nothing. It usually works, but then again it’s the approach I took for Huddersfield away last season, and I ended up feeling annoyed that we hadn’t actually won it, despite that fact that a point was quite decent in the end….

Can't call tomorrow at all. Could be anything.

Yeah can't see us getting anything tomorrow sadly but stranger things have happened, I guess.

Cambridge have scored a staggering 7 goals more than we have (12 to our 5) in the seven games played so far. They’ve conceded 3 more than us so it’s not all doom and gloom - but having watched our clean sheets I suspect their attack will cope better against our defence than our attack will cope against theirs.

Presumably the 6pm kick off time for Arsenal u21s on 27th Oct is so that the poor dears are home by their 9pm curfew

Cambridge 1 dons 4 tomorrow

That's me told:-)

Nice note from the club on Mr Strank [Link]

There is an issue at the moment with the OTD descriptions referring to pictures shown 12 months ago instead of what it is showing now. It usually gets corrected later in the day so I wouldn't get too hung up on it. Clearly the current picture is not 1982 or Steve Ketteridge, who is a grandfather now and well into his 60s.

Drop the AI photos, disrespectful to our former players ,steve ketteridge looks well in his 50s. The south stand looks too plush. And no wall in front. Embarrassing changing history

OTD - did keepers really not wear gloves in 1982?

The pic I mean, not the answer

Or maybe not?

That's Ian Cooke

🚨New episode available now🚨 Danny Baker & Lee Finch 🔵That Game 🟡G-I AFC Wimbledon edition 🔵Investment & Ryan Bertrand 🟡Cambridge preview [Link] Like, listen and let us know what you think.

New 9yrspodcast available now! Kevin Borras joins Stu and me to discuss news of a new investor, and its implications for the future of "the football club". Is Kevin wedded to fan ownership, or is it time to drop to 50.1 - and below? Alongside the thought-provoking discussion on the state of the Wimbledon financial nation, we review the draw with Milton Keynes, and the 1-0 win over Doncaster from the previous week. Despite our success early season, are we set up too defensively? And did the move to a Thursday night affect the less raucous atmosphere? There's talk of Dujuan Richards, Joe Bursik, and the women's team as well, and then Kevin gets the opportunity to put a range of things he dislikes about modern football into Room 101. The 50.1% Club and a look ahead to the trip to Cambridge complete another fun show! Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube now: [Link]

OtD - this was my first Wimbledon game. That 52 years has flown by.
