On This Day in 1973
Dickie Guy catches the ball as the under-strength Dons rode their luck to earn a Southern League Cup replay at Wealdstone. Four times in the second half shots were kicked off the line or brilliantly saved by the goalkeeper as the visitors held on after on loan Aldershot man Malcolm Crosby had equalised George Duck's opener. "Despite our injury problems we battled well and just about deserved the draw," manager Dick Graham reckoned. "I hope it will be a different story when we get them back to Plough Lane."

Despite leading his side to the Ryman League play-offs in the wake of the ‘Darlogate’ affair, Dave Anderson was sacked after defeat at Bromley cost the Dons their chance of promotion. “There are three things I never thought I would be asked,” the manager said in the wake of his departure. “To switch on the Christmas lights in Wimbledon, to appear on Sky Sports News and to be told that the Prime Minister has just mentioned your name in Parliament. It’s been an honour to be involved from day one and it is an experience I will never forget.” With interviews with player-of-the-year Antony Howard and others, relive every kick of a momentous campaign in the latest edition of The Historical Don.

Impressed with you IoW 1970 guys, I’ve always been massively jealous of anyone who was there or the previous one or indeed at Woodstock - I was only 11 when these festivals happened, but I was aware of them (and of many of the people appearing), and even at that age knew that I was going to travel completely round the world and do loads of festivals too, which I fortunately did…

Reading back, I think some song/band suggestions I've listened to recently will require more than one visit to Yandex Translate...

Sonic Death are a decent contemporary Russian band
In’t space brilliant? An asteroid the size of a small car (think Fiat Punto or Toyota Yago) passed over the Arctic just 1000km above (combined average distance Danny Bulman and Jake Reeves covered in the play off final) without anyone noticing until it had passed. For reference 1000km is the distance from the North Pole to Longyearbyen on Svalbard, or from Stockholm to the edge of the Arctic Circle. That’s a cat’s whisker in cosmic terms.

But fret ye not. At that distance the potential problem-solving asteroid was way out of reach of our Crazy Gang tackling atmosphere and it would have burnt up and disintegrated if it had managed to reduce that distance to 100km above this wonderful plant that some of us call home. Don’t have nightmares, about that anyway. COYD.

We need to play a league side to progress in the cup, I feel we develop a Billy big bollocks complex playing non-league sides. Newport was bad enough, but if we aren't focus, we will get our asses whipped, hence playing a good league side, is the best opportunity I feel

Agree on the support bands thing although my gig-going days are over it's too loud and other people are generally quite annoying.
