On This Day in 1974
After seven successful years at Walton & Hesham, Allen Batsford agreed to take over as the new Wimbledon manager. With only seven players on the retained list and an emergency loan of £2,500 from club president Bernie Coleman needed to prevent the Dons from folding, the 41-year-old could not have taken over at a worse time. Although only in charge for three and a half years, his appointment was to completely transform the club's future prospects.

I mentioned Jess Barnes losing her assistance dog to cancer a few weeks ago. Unfortunately there's massive shortfall between the insurance payout and the actual bill and a just giving page has been set up. [Link]

Apparently the shortfall is much bigger than the origianal text suggests.

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]

I think it was going to some of the throwback grounds in the CCL/Ryman that made me think what football watching was *really* like back in the 80s and before, and it suddenly wasn't so rose tinted. Mind you, people love the "character" of Kenilworth Road.

Unpopular take - new stadia (post 1990) piss over the old venues.
The alley behind Oxford’s away end at the old ground was pretty dodgy too, especially when we won 3-0 on the last day and they home fans invaded the pitch trying to get to us, luckily there was a fence

It was cheaper to get in relatively in the old days but the facilities were pretty basic. Memories of driving snow onto uncovered seats at Barnsley, also being held back for an hour after the game on a freezing afternoon at Chelsea when we won 4-0, the lights went out at 5.30pm so we had to leave the ground in darkness

Lol at some who think the 60s,70,,80s weren't better safer times than the 2020s:-)
Given that the 88 Cup Final is now 38 years ago not many people under 50 were able to go, sobering thought

I enjoyed the old days and I enjoy the new days, in both cases recognising a degree of frustration with events both on and off the pitch.

Long of the opinion that if you were to be transported back to "the good old days" for 12 hours, you'd want to return back to the present day within 30 minutes

Good old days weren’t always good although I agree modern football is too slow and boring
OI, correct and many Palestinians are descendants of Judeans/Israelites who inhabited the region thousands of years ago and over generations converted to Christianity and Islam

WBM - I think they did specify a range of punishments. It should be for the group adjudicating the case to choose from that range and they are 'independent' of the EFL. The problem is that you do actually need time to sort an issue out, Southampton should have two weeks to respond to the charge and whichever side loses they should have two weeks in which to appeal. So the range of punishments during playoffs should be a fine and/or points deduction in the next season the clubis subject to EFL rules. Any delay and uncertainty is totally unfair to Hull.

Laurence - Palestine has for many centuries been recognised as a geographical area, so people living in that area can certainly call themselves Palestinians, even if you wish to call them something different.

additionally Palestine now has UN status
Tut tut Laurence! Palestinians are a distinct ethic group of 14.5m people (5.5m in West Bank & Gaza and 1.7m in Israel) worldwide recognised as such by the UN

The spying thing is hugely amateur from the EFL, I write contracts for a living, if you write in a clause that you need to be punishable then you need to be clear about the punishment in all situations! There aren't that many, league, cup and play-offs! It was either very lazy or very dumb.

Players are not supporters on the whole and Sanchez seems to have an issue with AFC - I wonder why 😉 As for us, we are a separate club from WFC, but the only club proud to use its name as Wimbledon and proud of its history and hold all the history as Franchise handed it over when other supporter groups refused to recognise them or even play them in friendly games.

I happily say we are a continuation of WFC, however if someone really wants to argue the toss, let them as it doesn’t stop us fans enjoying what we have now and the future.
6 million-players and managers come and go but the heart and soul of the club is the fans who remain loyal in my case for 55 years since I first went in 1971 and others no doubt longer than me. When the going gets tough the players bugger off for their next payday whereas we stayed and started again from the bottom.

Meadow - no such people as Palestinians. Perhaps you mean Jordanians? Or even Trans-Jordanians?
