On This Day in 1973
Club chairman Jack Beaven shows Dick Graham the Plough Lane trophy cabinet on the day the former Crystal Palace goalkeeper was appointed as the new Wimbledon manager. Having made a name for himself when his Colchester United side knocked Leeds out of the 70-71 FA Cup, there were high hopes that the 51-year-old would bring success to the Southern League Dons but within six months he resigned citing interference from the board.

Sticky
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!

I didn't know that, during Dick Graham's tenure, the club went full time but reverted to part time after 3 weeks or was that referring to his contract?

Most of the time we continue to meet pre-match in the London & South Western which isn't too bad price wise. But I was in the Wetherspoons Leics Square this week - G&T £8 or more, whereas I have seen it for much much less elsewhere, especially outside London. You would expect all their prices to go up in line according to location, but the spirit prices seem to have a life of their own. Must be a very sophisticated algorithm.

Hottest day of the year so far - hopefully tomorrow will be the last time it’s over 30°C until next year….

Yes I do always try & pop into the Alex as it’s the Pub that my wife after arriving in the UK from Perth in 1992 got a job working behind the bar in & she had accommodation upstairs, I know she has fond memories of working there & like you said it’s a great community pub for Wimbledon

Alex is a bit pricey (also food) by Mick does use some profits to hold a free Chrim lunch on the 25th Dec for those that find themselves alone. So I'm always happy to go there

Meadow or anyone, I bought the 3rd kit top last week but stupidly took a long sleeve one. I assume I can just exchange Saturday week, have kept the receipt and not worn ...
Spit - vey much so!

WTID - I won’t tell you what we paid for our beers at the Bondi Hotel, the Royal Hotel in Paddington, or the Coogee Bay Hotel in 1981 when I was watching bands such as The Church and Cold Chisel…

The Guinness we get is also brewed in NSW so not even the proper Dublin gear but I’ll be honest with you it tastes no different to me although you’ll get plenty of Guinness snobs who swear it’s inferior

a4e - Yes mate you’re correct, beer prices back home are as ridiculous as here, most places will have a particular beer something like swan lager on a $10 pints all day offer but yes other beers you’re looking at anything between $10 & $16 a pint. I paid $17 for Guinness which seems to be the going rate down under . We are heavily taxed on alcohol, so yes I probably am used to paying that for a beer but I’m 62 now & like a good moan 🤣

Old Rosie (decent farmhouse cider - flat and cloudy and 6.8%) is currently available in a pub near me and is £8.40 a pint.

Well worth it though as you only need two pints then it’s time to be taken home 🥴
Modelo is very nice beer. Most of the Mexican lagers are decent tbf. I probably stay away from Sol unless I’m actually drinking it in Mexico. But Doe Equis, Pacifico, even Corona - all very nice especially on a hot summer’s day like this.

WTID - your beer price comment made think about the equivalent in Sydney - whilst this is just the AI answer from Googling, the prices seem not too dissimilar… “The average price of a standard pint of beer (570ml) in a Sydney pub generally ranges between AU$12.00 and AU$16.00. However, depending on the location, the type of beer, and the time of day, you can expect to pay anywhere from AU$7.00 to over AU$20.00” - not sure how realistic that sounds to you?

I’m in Wimbledon so thought I’d call into the Alex for a cold one, well pleased to see that have one of my favourite beers modelo on draft, not so pleased to find out it’s £7.95 a pint, probably not even the pukka Mexican brew either, oh well I’m on holiday so fuck it

Some pretty good/interesting games coming up over the weekend on TV. Obviously there’s our game (too early to predict a 3-0 defeat) but on Sunday it’s the claret and blue derby with Burnley at home to West Ham (who’s fans are buzzing for the season ahead - hoping to challenge for the title and no VAR!) then on Monday evening it’s Cardiff’s return to the Championship and obviously the random computer fixture algorithm has them opening the league season at home to Wrexham.

Red kite yes it looks nice! Maybe a little like what Plough Lane will look like when we expand it fully.
