FT 0-0. A point gained rather than two dropped as we never really got going. Eleven games unbeaten and a 17th clean sheet for Owen Goodman probably the highlights. Safe journey home to the 158 travelling Dons fans.

🇳🇱 Returning to Plough Lane over 30 years after his last game at the previous incarnation of our ground, Hans Segers certainly felt at home. 💬 “The power of Wimbledon shines through, whether the Club is in non-league or the Premier League.” #AFCW 🟡🔵 www.afcwimbledon.co.uk/news/2025/fe...

Hotel receptionist kindly let us into our room two hours earlier than the planned check-in, so made the most of the extra time to have a good look around Nice. And after five miles of walking, a well-earned drink 😊

Granddaughter nicely responded to some (gentle) playground teasing from Chelsea and Palace ‘fans’ about supporting AFC Wimbledon with “I told the boys I actually go to games and get to meet the players. You don’t.” Good girl. And her Dad said to me “You gave me the same advice when I was her age…” 😊

FT 2-0. Wasn’t pretty but it was all about getting the three points and keeping in touch at the top. And we’ve done that. Job done.

After two recent postponements AFC Wimbledon are finally back in action today and a first Plough Lane fixture in 2025. Allow a bit more time for your matchday journey due to road and rail disruption but bring your voices. Three points against lowly Tranmere are a must! 🔵🟡

A photo from 10 July 2002. When we went to revisit the FA, gatecrashed an EFL Chairmen’s protest and most then went on to AFC Wimbledon’s inaugural friendly at Sutton United and were later shocked when a certain someone here took Pete Winkelman’s twenty pieces of silver and moved to Buckinghamshire.

Have never forgotten the name of Lee Boxell since this heartbreak happened in 1988. A big football fan who watched several local clubs (including Wimbledon) I really hope his father will finally find some answers (and peace) concerning Lee’s disappearance. www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/news/2484058...

A win at Fleetwood tomorrow will regain our second place while a draw puts us up to third. But most of all I hope the game goes ahead to reward the hardy Dons fans who have already travelled to the North West or hold expensive train/coach tickets. Be kind to them weather gods! 🙏

50 years ago today, heroics from Dickie Guy helped Wimbledon become the first non-league side to win away at a top flight club in the FA Cup for 54 years when a Mick Mahon goal knocked out Burnley at Turf Moor. The Dons reward was a trip to Elland Road to face Leeds United. 🔵🟡

Striker David Kemp made a solitary Wimbledon appearance as a League Cup substitute in 1984, but returned to the Dons as a youth and later first team coach in a second spell which saw him and Mick Harford step in as caretakers in 1999 after Joe Kinnear’s heart attack. Welcome to WOPA Dave! 🔵🟡🤝

I said the Football Gods owed us something after two shocking decisions cost us four points recently, so while that will be no consolation to Gillingham, two big calls went in our favour to help us go second. Huge win, with Bugiel, Lewis, Ball, Hippolyte and Maycock all missing. We go up to second!

FAO Football Gods: We’ve not had the rub of the green from you lately - Newport’s last kick ‘penalty’, hitting the post twice in seconds at Chesterfield (+ Pig’s spurned late chance) then the disallowed goal against Swindon. That’s cost us five points. Surely we’re due a change in fortunes?
