On This Day in 1964
3,350 fans watch what turns out to be the last game of amateur football ever played by Wimbledon at Plough Lane. The Dons' narrow 1-0 victory over old rivals Kingstonian left Les Henley's men needing just one point from their remaining three matches, all away from home, to secure a third Isthmian League successive title. "Amateur football is not evolving or changing," club chairman Sydney Black explained as he pushed for the club to turn professional. "We have reached the stage where we cannot go forwards. If we stay where we are we will go backwards and we want to avoid that at all costs."

As the Premier League clubs grew richer 30 years ago, little Wimbledon struggled to survive. Despite a good start to the 1995-96 season, an alarming autumn slump saw the Dons flirting with relegation before victories at Stamford Bridge and Highbury within a four-day period over Christmas lifted some of the gloom. Progressing through to the FA Cup 5th round, only a late, late equaliser from Efan Ekoku at Huddersfield kept hopes alive before a memorable quarter final with Chelsea. Four wins in the five games after a replay defeat ensured survival for another year. Every match is celebrated with the memories of Ekoku and many others in the latest edition of the Historical Don.

On sale from outside the club shop at the Luton, Plymouth and Huddersfield games for just £2. With printing costs soaring, the price will increase next year so grab it while you can.

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

Could do with wins tonight for both Hatters, Stevenage and definitely Plymouth against Bradford as that will keep the play-off spots all still undecided. If Bradford beat Plymouth they'll secure a ply-off spot and could be resting against Exeter on the last day. Stevenage win tonight also ends Huddersfield's play-off chances.

Sorry to hear Peter Foster has died, argumentative as he was, definitely a true Chelmsford fan.

Might be up to be oldest player to play at PL!
The argumentative bloke from Chelmsford was indeed Peter Foster. A nice bloke face-to-face but the ultimate keyboard warrior. He died 6 years ago and there's a long thread on the Chelmsford Soapbox dated from that time.

I think the entire football world wants to see Spurs relegated. Not because people don’t like Spurs but because people don’t like Spurs and it might happen.

If it can be Arsenal bottling and Spurs getting relegated then this would be an historic year of football despite how poor football is right now.
A pity, I think Spurs will end up above West Ham

The fat Danny Dyer keeper was a good sport. Remember him mimicking being airbound and nowhere when we were singing “where were you when Sammy scored?” at him.

Where were you when you were us? Aimed at Franchise was good too

“Your arse is a roundabout” and “You’re just a shit Danny Dyer” are my modern faves - the first of those maybe at Maidenhead away…?

“Just a sh*t Waitrose sandwich” and “should have stayed at the wedding” some of our more recent decents. Incidentally I learned today that Rochdale’s goalkeeper, on loan from Man City, is called Oliver Whatmuff.

I still credit Chelmsford with the best chant I’ve heard against us. Up at their place in the pouring rain one Bonfire Night. Found ourselves conceding three goals as it all went wrong. “AFC three nil down” drifted across from the home fans on the scaffolding terrace behind their goal.

Very good. Second for me is “Your ground’s in Milton Keynes” from the Millwall fans in response to our “your ground’s too big for you”. I don’t see much back and forth like that these days. Something’s been lost.
Peter Foster I think

What was the Chelmsford guy's name who used to come on here and tell us how much more potential Chelmsford had compared to us and they'd soon leave us behind?

Peter something?
I think Chelmsford was my first Wimbledon away game probably 74/74 iirc we won 2-1 at their old ground
