On This Day in 1949The war damage to Plough Lane's south stand can still be clearly seen as the Dons (in plain shirts) beat Erith and Belvedere 5-0 in a first round London Senior Cup tie. On a pitch covered in pools of water, the evergreen Harry Stannard led the way with a second half hat trick. It turned out to be the start of a run of just two defeats in 20 games that left Wimbledon two victories away from a league and cup double. Sadly, a 0-4 defeat in front of over 12,500 fans at Dulwich's Champion Hill ground cost the Dons the Isthmian League title but a week later they won the Surrey Senior Cup by beating local rivals Tooting and Mitcham United 5-0 in front of 15,230 supporters at Selhurst Park.

Spartan- the Blackpool fans were not happy with the referee, who is from Preston 
With regards to who gets relegated, I think it might need a record number of points to stay up this season, judging by how everyone down there is continually picking up points. 
CW - Blackpool were 1-0 up at HT v Port Vale and had a player sent off in first half added time. PVFC certainly took advantage. 
Looking at that OTD pic and reckon the same bomb/s which destroyed many houses in Havelock & Kohat Rds, my Mum's included, blew away the Sth stand too. Here's a map (not very good) of bomb hits locally. Two hits right at the bottom of Kohat. [Link] 
Naz, I never used to bother what ingredients were in certain products and I loved saveloys. Then I learnt that they were made from brains. I'll happily eat meat but that's a step too far. Pigs are intelligent. 
Prestons, really? Not that I'm bothered as I'll be at work. 
Meadow- it is classed as a Saturday 3pm match, so won’t be on Sky+. 
As Sunday's match doesn't take place during protected hours, it'll probably be on Sky+ or at least on Dons TV. Not a subscriber to either so not certain. Spit - probably no different to any other kebab. Best not to check what goes into kebabs, hot dogs, haggis, nuggets,
twizzlers, pork pies...
We missed out on the supporters'
bar mentioned below, but the Goose at Walthamstow Central was okay, and a pint of Stella there was slightly cheaper
than in Clapham Junction Wetherspoons. Aideen - no Is Sundays game in tv? £4.50, NAZ, I would hate to think what meat was in the kebab 🐕🐱🦊🦝 I saw figures of 8639 and 1247 I see Curtis scored as Port Vale came from 1-0 down at HT to batter Blackpool 5-1 I read the attendance today was about 8k with 1200 Dons fans. 
Hash - know what you mean. Sandy the 20 seconds or so that were left in the franchise game after Curtis scored were the most nervous i have ever been i think. What a great day that was, and I’m more than happy to take credit for being one of several who jinxed the result by predicting a heavy defeat… ☺️🥳 Anyone see the crowd figure? And away support? Great 3 points. Re Hippo... Orient captain Omar Beckles went to school with Myles Hippolyte of Wimbledon and both represent Grenada. Beckles’ father was a member of 80s jazz funk outfit Central Line. Mikey T will remember Walking On Sunshine. What is your opinion on it Leddy? I love it when our players don't really celebrate goals. Don't care what the reason is. Also, over-celebrating a goal can sometimes lead to a drop in concentration by the players. 
I'm sure if we did this some of our fans would find issues with the conditions of use. [Link] 
Hippo has seriously underachieved this season, despite his crucial goal didn’t think he played that well today either And he'd be right. When you aren't scoring you need your creators/scorers on the Pitch
