The Dons don't seem to have entered the London Senior Cup this year - last night at Raynes Park Vale they were playind another depressing song, On the Road again by Canned Heat, the singer of which killed himself in 1970

Charlie Addiman, was a union official with a BT union when I worked there.

Now follows Rosslyn Park RUFC where he is or was the PA. Likes his beer ;-/
I always thought it had the bones of a decent football song. Joy/fun/Frannies on the run...

Depressing song though agreed.
Someone screaming along “Ride on time!” is my earliest musical memory of Plough Lane.

The thought that that was one of you old duffers provides much mirth to me.
1970 or 1971 for me. I remember Charlie with the long hair (the Mikey T/Phillo of that era) playing My Sweet Lord over the PA at one of my first matches. IIRC my schoolboy season ticket was £1, and the 77a/77c bus service was terribly unreliable.

I always liked the chorus of The Way by Fastball in terms of being a jaunty ditty but a song about the true story of two elderly people going off and dying - - - - - Anyone can see the road that they walk on is paved in gold - And it's always summer they'll never get cold - They'll never get hungry - They'll never get old and gray - You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere - They won't make it home but they really don't care - They wanted the highway - They're happier there today.

And the other problem with the song is it is an earworm (at least for me).

Kitey - I agree. Such a strange song, having a jaunty melody but with such a depressing subject matter.

My first game was in the 1959/60 season, but I don't remember who the opposition was. Fans were shouting "Come on you Dons". I thought every player was called Don!

This will be my 50th season. 25 years supporting WFC (my first game was the first game as a football league club against Halifax Town on 20/08/77) and now 24 years supporting AFCW. If somebody back in 2002 said I could end up supporting AFCW longer than WFC I would found that hard to believe but in just over a year, all being well, that's exactly what will happen.

Has anybody heard anything about season ticket cards being distributed? The ticket office told me they would be going out this week and an announcement would be made. There is nothing on the OS so I wondered if they may have done something via social media, which I don't use. They're happy enough to email me about other things but I don't suppose I'll get one about something as important as this.
82/83 was my first season,how lucky was i. Watching our golden era and presenting the centenary cake on the plough lane pitch in 89:-)

kicked off my association in 1968 on a school boy pass that were issued to local schools in Wimbledon. There was no school girls pass as such.

My interest in the Dons started in 96/97 when we went on that run of 7000 wins in a row or whatever it was but i didn't go to my first game until 5th December 1998 against Coventry. So approaching 30 years either way.

Probably 69 years since I first went to a match but can't remember precisely so between 67 and 70.

There is no shortage of issues regarding FIFA. Let me start by clarifying what some of these are from an FA perspective, in particular that of Jordan going into a World Cup for the first time. We are a small country with a minimal budget for our FA and had to deal with enormous hurdles. First, getting our fans into the USA: not all were granted VISAS, even though they had tickets -which we also know were sold at exorbitant prices. Secondly, we are being taxed by the US govt through FIFA for our participation. Money that should go to players and staff. This was not the case for those who played and set up camp in Canada and Mexico. But we happened to be in the USA so now we face these huge costs in taxes for having participated. Thirdly we have been waiting for reward money for our players since December for the Arab cup in Qatar, which is a FIFA event. The money our team should receive for having reached the final has not been delivered yet, while at the same time FIFA brags about how many billions they have in reserve. It is clear the problem really is with leadership. For months, FIFA has been refusing to help us on any of these or other matters- until it was verbally communicated to me during the World Cup that if I endorsed Infantino it would go a long way to helping our FA out. We pride ourselves in Jordan in upholding ethical values. We did not endorse him before and certainly will not now. But the whole situation amounts to blackmail and we refuse to give in to that.

Respect to Hampshire Womble. My first game was in 1983 and I wasn't fully on board until we won the FA Cup.

Spit - Foster definitely wore his headband in that game but not entirely sure Young was
