On This Day in 1963
Brian Martin fires his side ahead against Leytonstone in front of more than 9,000 fans at Arsenal's Highbury stadium. The Dons went on to win the Amateur Cup semifinal 2-1 and reach their first final since being beaten by the same score against the same opponents on the same ground in 1947. At the end, a relieved Les Henley commented; "I think we just about deserved to win. We had the edge in attack, and we were more settled in defence."

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]

Just to clarify before Lord Crabtree declares independence for Effingham junction
Reading between the lines of CC's update, it suggests Bugiel, Lewis, Johnson & Hippo will all be available for one or more of our remaining matches!

Keefy - just reading that piece you linked to on the OS, and I was shocked to find out that Brodi Hughes is out for the rest of the season. I mean, was he ever in?

I think the fans are generally highly accepting of the injury situation but that the performance at Burton maybe started to move some towards the more vocally frustrated end of the spectrum. Real shame about Matty Stevens not playing again this season.

If we get relegated this season it will be down to our lack of budget. Whereas last time it was about some ridiculous off and on pitch decision making. We can see every single player that gets on the pitch is trying their hardest. But some fans are questioning JJ’s tactical decisions based on how we play when we have reduced personnel available. We’re in a real tight spot but I definitely see the fans as being fully behind the team. We have no scapegoats and don’t need any.

£40 for the Wolfpack experience.

I definitely get the sense that the wolfpack name was far more tongue in cheek than the crazy gang moniker. I'm not sure of the history of the crazy gang stuff but assume it was a press label rather than a self-selected name. Would assume the wolfpack was inspired by The Hangover movie and not taken too seriously by anyone [Link] It should be a good evening and hopefully a decent selection of the wolfpack there ready with some good tales of what went on back then.

I agree Stu sadly I can’t make it but I think it’ll be a great evening. Always great to win a playoff final but you’re absolutely right the difference in connection and general vibe between that team and last season’s is tangible. And that’s not a criticism of last season’s squad - more an observation that the game at L1/2 level has changed a lot since that first win.

Nowadays ego and character is ironed out of players as they go through FA manual academies.
I understand Wolfpack is the WhatsApp group name for the players and staff from that game. It’s just something then picked up on. Hope we have loads in attendance on Thursday as this is probably the last group of players that we all really got to like and enjoy the success they brought us all.

And I don’t think £40 is overpriced - I have been major critical in the past of sill prices impacting the majority of fans being able to afford and attend.
Is it a bit like Paul Ince insisting on people calling him "the guv'nor"? And didn't he used to get irate if people didn't?

It’s the name for the playoff winning squad with Bayo, LTB, Fuller etc - kinda like their own crazy gang moniker.

Wolfpack is a bit cringe
I could be lead to think that my desire to get a full and detailed look at our financial ledger is a key reason why I was treated so shoddily and why board members and volunteers alike were willing to go to extreme lengths eg to falsify meeting minutes and to break constitution rules just to stop me from being able to stand for election.

We need a full list of suppliers and amounts made public so we can see where the money is going out of the club.
Indeed Spit and I have just shared same on Discord with question attached about where is our profit leak? We know about the £400k, BUT what else? No doubt claims about the stadium running costs, but that is an old claim, which by now should be declining history? I might need to query on Solar panels again?

The second goal in that game was a thing of beauty. Norman Williams put in a cross cum shot towards the keeper's left that Les Brown was coming on to from the opposite wing. The keeper dived to his right to save Brown's shot and he just jumped over the ball to let it nestle in the left corner.

I was right behind the goal, far end in that picture, so just missing out being in another picture ;)
Google AI invented a Les Allen who helped us win the Amateur Cup that year.
