The result of who should get the goal we scored at Hastings is as follows: -
1. Mark Cooper 21(33%)This morning Everstrong's first single "Take Me Home" went on Pre-Release prior to it release on April 11th.
To reach the charts it will need in the region of 2,500 sales but all orders in the pre-release period count towards the chart on April 17th and the more pre-release sales that are made the more coverage it will get boosting chances of more people buying it and getting an AFC Wimbledon supported band into the charts. HMV now have the single on pre-order and you can buy it by clicking here all profits from this are going to the stadium fund as well. If you wish to buy multiple copies for different people in the family make sure you buy them in different weeks in the build up to release as otherwise if you were to buy 5 copies for example it may only be treated a 1 for the chart position.Anyway good luck to Everstrong.The Amazon link on the site is doing really well again and remember all commission from the site goes directly to the Ground Fund. So click on the link on the left of the page and have a look to see if you need anything.
A Couple of weeks ago I mentioned that the fact that six AFC Wimbledon fans were aiming to lose weight whilst raising funds for the stadium fund well here is an update on how they are doing.
After Three weeks of the Six week period over £500 has been pledged and between the six of them 70lbs have been lost or around 5 stone so well done to all 6 of them so far keep up the good work. To see information on the weekly figures or pledge some money click here. If you will be interested in being in the next group of weight loss candidates and in the mean time raise some funds for the stadium fund drop me an email and I will host the details. It's very straight forward all we need to know is the amount you have lost (or not) each week and you email each week this figure the next group will start from around 19th March 2005. If you would like to take part send me an email at paul@itmustbedons.com.I have updated the figures for Target Top Six following yesterday's games. The teams that I have finishing in the top six in Alphabetical order are as follows: - AFC Wimbledon, Horsham, Leatherhead, Tooting & Mitcham, Walton & Hersham and Whyteleafe. The play off's are played in the mid-week after the season finishes with the highest place team at home, the final is the following Saturday with once again the higher team at home.
To view the figures please click the link at the top.Yesterday the new "78" T-shirt was launched yesterday and is now available via the online shop at present a picture of it is not available on the online shop but should be soon but I have taken a picture of my one (Please don't ask me how the front and back appears to be different colours as I don't know!! and they are not. The shirts are either Blue with with cuffs, collar and logos as shown or the reverse the mugs and scarf's are also very nice. Anyway the pictures are below: -

This afternoon we had a disappointing draw against Corinthian Causals after a good first half and a one goal lead the second half saw Corinthian Casuals have the best of the action and get a goal 9 minutes before the end to share the points.
The Good news from the day was that Horsham and Walton & Hersham dropped points as well. Full results are below: -The Man Of The Match Poll is now open please click below: -
This afternoon the Matchday updates will be in action as we take on corinthian Casuals. The updates should start from around 14:30 once I have the line up but they will also be used to update any news I get about travel conditions or weather during the morning or early afternoon. To read the updates click on the Matchday link at the top of the page.
The result of the Man Of The Match Poll from Tuesday nights trip to Slough Town is as follows: -
Leon McDowall: 9 votes 31.03%It would be a fair guess that a number of Saturday's games could well be off due to the weather but rather than just listing them all as P-P in the predictions in advance I have listed all the games and the predictions that my systems have come up with.

For the second Saturday home game running no trains are running to Norbiton tomorrow so it's a case of getting a 1131 bus to just outside the ground if you are going by public Transport.
If the weather holds as it currently is the Under 118's will be in action at Kingsmeadow when they are due to take on Leatherhead in the Southern Youth League the game kicks off around 19:45 and admission is free. UPDATE - The GAME has been called OFF due to the rain in the Norbiton area today and worry that a game could cause possible problem for Saturday with little time for the pitch to recover.
Due to the addition if the "who scored our goal on Saturday" poll which is still open and you can vote by clicking here. The Result of the prices poll is below: -
The question was would a price increase for next season alter your attendance at game?As you may have seen on the Official Site a special range of Merchandise will be available from the shop on Saturday commemorating the unbeaten run of 78 Games, It will include T-shirts, A Mug, a Scarf and a badge and a special price is available if you purchase one of each item. If you cant get to the shop before or after the match any remaining stock will be added to the online shop from 18:00 on Saturday.
Croydon Athletic and Walton & Hersham are due to play tonight subject to the weather but if they do the predictions are as follows: The Spreadsheet predicts a 2-1 victory for Croydon Athletic, whilst League Pad says a 1-0 victory for Walton and Hersham. UPDATE - THE MATCH WAS CALLED OFF
Last night was a game of two half's after we went in at half time 2-0 up it looked like we could be in the semi-finals of the Bryco cup but two goals inside the first 6 minutes of the second half put the balance back Sloughs way and in the end they finished up 4-2 winners. Our first goal was announced as Robert Ursell but it looks like it was a own goal by the keeper. The second was a Mark Cooper Header.
The Man Of The Match Poll is open please click below to vote: -The result of Saturday's Man Of The Match Poll against Hastings is as follows: -
Steve Gibson 18 Votes 30.00%It looks like tonight's game will go ahead as mentioned on the official site at 11:30am they weren't expecting any problems for tonight. I will be providing text updates tonight from around 19:30 with the team news and tonight's game could have extra time and penalties so it could be a late one. To view the updates click on the Matchday link at the top of the page.
It will be a late return back from the game so the Man Of The Match result and new poll may not be up until tomorrow morning.Last Night Chelmsford City became the first club into the Semi Final Stage of the Bryco cup when they beat Leatherhead 3-0.
Tonight 2 more games are due to be played our trip to Slough Town and also Heybridge Swifts Vs Folkstone Invicta.A discussion took place on Saturday evening over who scored our goal the choice was between Andrew Martin and Mark Cooper, as you may have seen I have slowed down the goal footage from Donsonline which you can view here and then you can vote for who you think should get the goal by clicking here.
If your going to the game at Slough on Tuesday night remember it is played at Windsor and Eton's ground as they ground share with Windsor. You can see road directions at the following link. The prices quoted are normal league prices but I think tomorrow night is cheaper and it is Kids for a Quid.
If you are going by trains they go from Waterloo and Clapham Junction and depart Waterloo at 28 and 58 minutes past the hour and take 54 minutes, from Clapham Junction it's 38 and 08 past the hour and takes the same time so the recommended trains would be 17:28 or 17:58 from Waterloo or 17:38 or 18:08 from Clapham Junction. When you get to the other end it's about a 30 minute walk so it may be worth getting a cab but in case you wish to walk it you can see a map here. Looking at the map if you follow the orange road to the right of the screen and all the way to the top it takes you to the station call Windsor and Eton Riverside. For the journey home trains depart the station at 22:23 and 22:53 and are direct to Clapham Junction taking 45 minutes the 23:28 requires one change (at Staines) and takes 61 minutes. If you get the 22:28 or 22:58 lots of trains go from Clapham Junction back towards Earlsfield and Wimbledon.With the Slough Game tomorrow evening the Man Of The Match vote will be closing early so please make sure you have voted by the time the game kicks off tomorrow night. Please click the link below to cast your vote.
Looks like a number of this weeks events could be decided by the weather but if it stays ok we could have 3 football matches and 2 events.
The games are of course our trip to Slough tomorrow and the home League game against Corinthian Casuals on Saturday as well as on Thursday night the Under 18's are due to be at home to leatherhead. The two events are both music related, the Band night takes place on Friday night with tickets available on the door and then after the game on Saturday Everstrong will be playing a full set in the main bar so hang around after the match and have a listen. On Wednesday night the bar will be open for the Champions League games but I may pay a trip to Croydon Athletic to watch them play Walton & Hersham.A big well done to the AFC Wimbledon ladies side who put on the Valentines Ball on Friday evening. The event was to raise funds for Princess Alice Hospice, Cancer Research and the AFC Wimbledon Stadium Fund by the end of the evening over £4,000 had been raised to be split between the three organisations.
Not only was lots of money raised but also a good time was had by the people who attended.The figures for Target top six have been updated after yesterdays results and a fair amount of change again, click on the link above to see the revised figures.
It Looks like our goal from yesterday at Hastings could be one for the dubious goal panel and maybe shouldn't have gone down to Mark Cooper after all.
The usual rules for dubious goals is that the ball making contact on the way through changed the direction of the ball into a goal. Was this the case yesterday? Using the Donsonline goal coverage I have trimmed the clip down to just past the goal and slowed it down you can view this version by clicking here. this file is 2.6mb and is in windows media format. Now lets look at who should get the goal. Mark Cooper -The Poll for Man Of The Match is now open so please click below to cast your vote: -
In Wintry conditions we came away with a 1-1 draw at Hastings. They took the lead early in the first half when they scored direct from a free kick in the second half we had the better of the play maybe helped by having the strong wind behind us and the scores were level when Mark Cooper headed home a Ryan Gray corner.
This afternoon we play Hastings United in the League and I will be providing the Matchday Updates service via the link at the top of the page, it should start from around 14:30 when I have the team news. So if you cant make the game I hope it helps in keeping you up to date with the action.

Congratulations to AFC Wimbledon fan John who was the winner of Today's Brainteaser show on Channel Five at lunchtime today, and who gave AFC Wimbledon a nice mention on National TV.
On Saturday we visit Hastings United Football Club If your driving it looks like it is straight down the A21 and directions and a map can be found by clicking here.
If your going by train the nearest station is "Ore" and from London you will need to get a train from either Charing Cross or Waterloo East it looks like the best time train to get could be the 11:48 from London Waterloo East this is due to get to Hastings at 13:17 and then the 13:24 to Ore which arrives at 13:27 you can see the station on the following map with the ground just to the north of itIn case you haven't seen it I have a new poll question running and it based on the discussion topic of possible price increases for next season that was spoke about at the open meeting on Saturday. A suggested figure of 10% was made, if this was to be implemented would it alter your attendance at games? to vote please click below: -
The figures for Target Top Six have been updated but just a point I would like to make, using the "Complex" figures before yesterday's game it was suggested that for us to finish as Champions as further "13 points" was needed after our victory last night and additional 3 points you would assume that only 10 points was needed but it is now showing 11 points are required.
The reason for this is that it calculates the results to the end of season for all teams taking into account past results so along the line last night results have made a change to one or more of the projected results before the end of season and this is why the figure has only gone down by 2 points and not 3. I hope this helps in trying to work the figures out.I have also updated the animation so if you enjoy them please go and have have a watch.The Result of Saturday's man Of The Match poll was as follows: -
John-Barrie Bates 28 Votes 36.36%Tonight's Man Of The Match vote is open please click below to vote: -
A 2-0 victory tonight thanks to goals from robert Ursell and Chris Gell means that we are now 12 points clear of second placed Horsham, with only 12 games left. A full update will be undertaken on Wednesday with the Animation, Previous Man Of The match result and an update for Target Top Six, but for now the league table makes nice reading.
Tonight we take on the only team in Ryman's One we haven't played yet in Burgess Hill Town. The Updates will start from around 19:30 once the team news is known and you can view the updates via the Matchday link at the top. I hope you enjoy them.
The final 4th Round Bryco Cup game is due to be played as Walton & Hersham are at home to Brain Tree Town the winners are then home to Hampton & Richmond Borough in the Quarter Finals.
In the League three games are due to be played and they are below with the predictions also shown: -| Spread Pred | League Pad Pred | Result | ||||||

This afternoon is was the case of a very relaxed afternoon as we won 3-0 against Croydon F. C. Jon-Barrie Bates opened the scoring before Andrew Martin scored his first AFC Wimbledon goal after converting a cross from a Mark Jones cross before leon scored a lovely goal in the second half.
Croydon didn't have a shot on target all game and on this showing you could see why they are bottom of the table. On the downside both Richard Butler and Jay Conroy both went off injured although Richard's looked to be a precaution, Jay's was a lot more serious as he was taken to hospital with a suspected broken ankle. With just 6 minutes remaining Ryan Gray and a Croydon player were both shown the red card following a scuffle these were the first red cards that we have seen in our matches this season. The full results are below but Horsham and Walton Won whilst Met Police drew at home to Leatherhead.This afternoon the matchday service will be in operation and should get under way from around 14:30 when I get the teams. So if you cant make the game and are near a computer click on the link above for live updates.

On Saturday no trains will be running between Wimbledon and Norbiton so if traveling from wimbledon pick up the 131 bus from Hartfield road just by the side of the white house and that will drop you about 50 yards from Kingsmeadow or 50 yards past if you miss the stop and you will get off outside fat boys cafe.
If you have any old printer cartridges that you don't know how to get rid of bring them down to the ground on Matchday's and The Dons Trust will be happy to take them off your hands and will be able to turn them into cash for the stadium fund. Take them to The Dons Trust table along with any old mobile phones and unwanted foreign currency which they can also use.
This Saturday before the game we have the 'Open Meeting' a chance to find out what's going on and ask any questions you may have members of the Board will be represented so come along and ask any questions you may have. The meeting takes place in the back bar and starts at 12:30.
The draw for the Quarter Finals of the Bryco cup were announced this morning and although rumours were going round saying we had Leatherhead away this proved incorrect. The draw has given us a trip to Windsor as this is where Slough Town of the Ryman's premier division play. The date that games are due to be played are on the 22nd or 23rd of February but Slough have a home league game on the Tuesday and already have a bit of a fixture backlog so it may not be played on these dates. The full draw is as follows: -
Chelmsford City Vs LeatherheadIt looks like two dates of our games have been changed, the first one that has defiantly been changed is the Surrey Senior Cup tie that has been moved from Tuesday 1st to Wednesday 2nd March. The second game that looks like it will be moved is the Easter trip to Banstead that was due to be played on Saturday 26th March this is listed on the Ryman site as being moved to the Friday afternoon 25, this is something that people had asked about due to the Northern Ireland Vs England game on the Saturday.
On Wednesday night it'd quiz night time again at Kingsmeadow and just to help you in advance the first question isn't what would our starting XI be if everyone was fit? The quiz starts at 20:15 but the bar is open earlier for you to get a bit of training in. It's cost £1 per person and all have so far have been good fun.

The website will allow you to arrange traveling to games if that is easier or just for you to know your not the only one in your area.
To Visit the website click here and you can find out additional information in the forums.Three matches of interest tonight across three competitions, with a mixture of FA Trophy, Bryco and League action the games are as follows: -
FA Trophy Replay - Walton & Hersham 3-3 Stamford (After Extra Time Stamford won 2-0 on Penalties.)On Thursday The Dons Trust will be 3 years old, and when you think back to that Sunday afternoon when the launch was held at a packed Wimbledon Theatre that only a few months later we would begin the Adventure of AFC Wimbledon.
February is always an extra busy time for people involved in the Dons Trust as the vast majority of renewals take place at this time of year.Membership runs for 12 months and you need to renew before the end of that month so if you joined of the launch date of the 10th February you have until 28th February to renew your membership.

The trust is also responsible for the running of kids teams from the ages of Under 8's to Under 15's. Add in the courses that run during school holidays for both boys and girls from 5 years old and upwards, and the Ladies Team who play at level 2 of ladies football and competed well against one of the best teams in England and you can see what a great job everyone does. If you are due to renew soon you will get a renewal letter in the post and Membership cards are also being produced for all members as well.

On Saturday the 1,000 goal in the Ryman Division 1 was scored this honour fell to Kevin Townsend of Burgess Hill ton when he scored the last goal in the 4-1 victory at Newport, this goal also saw his hat-trick completed.
In our games we have been involved in 8.3% of all goals and 6% of goals we have scored although not the highest in either of them, we are the lowest at 2.3% for goals against.The result of the poll question about our trip to Hastings in just under two weeks time and would the higher prices altered your view of going to the game is as follows: -
1. No - Would Of gone Anyway 17 (26%)By clicking on the link on the left of the screen will take you to Amazon.co.uk and any purchases you make after having a look around from that link will see proceeds passed on to the Stadium fund so not only are you likely to get cheaper prices you will also be raising money.
What started off a quest to lose weight has now turned into a small Sponsored event. 5 Wombles 3 based in the UK and 2 in the US are aiming to lose weight and if people would like to encourage them by pledging sponsorship for the stadium fund they can do. The Americas Dons website will be tracking the progress during the period so please have a look and lets hope that the team winning on the pitch will make up for them going hungry.
The draw for the next round of the Bryco cup is usually announced once all the games have been completed 2 matches are still to be played in the 4th round this Tuesday should of seen Walton & Hersham play Braintree and Slough Town Vs Salisbury City but with Walton & Hersham drawing in the FA Trophy yesterday they now have a replay on Tuesday night, and no date is known yet for the rescheduled Bryco cup game although it looks like it may be played on Tuesday 15th or Wednesday 16th.
So the draw maybe announced this week with 9 teams in it or they may wait but a suggestion is that the game is due to be played on the midweek of 22 or 23 February. As soon as any details are know I will inform you of them.The Figures for Target Top Six have been updated including the graph and you can view them by clicking the target top six link at the top of the page.
The Man Of The Match vote for today's game is now open please click below to vote: -
A game that was in the end settled by two first half set pieces first a direct free kick that Steve Sargent fired into the top right hand corner we leveled the score when Andrew Martin was fouled in the box and a penalty was converted. Ryan Gray stepped up and fired high into the top right hand corner.
In the second half the best chance fell to Leatherhead but somehow they appeared to hit the inside of both posts but the effort stayed out. After the disappointing performance last week this was a lot better but Leatherhead should also be given credit for a decent performance that could well give other clubs also chasing promotion trouble.This afternoon we take on current form guide leaders Leatherhead who in the past 6 games have won 4 matches and drawn 2.
The updates should get under way from around 14:30 when the team news is known. If you haven't seen the updates before please click on the Matchday link at the top o the page or on the left of the screen and you will get up to the minute information on the action from Leatherhead. The page refreshes every 2 minutes as well.The result from the Man Of The match Poll for the Bryco Cup Game is as follows: -
Richard Butler: 29 votes 48.33%Tomorrow see 10 League games being played as Walton and Hersham are in FA Trophy action away at Stamford so good luck to them. The League game predictions are as follows: -

Whist he was at Crystal Palace he played in 22 Matches and scored 2 goals in the old First Division against Charlton and Wolves. His most recent goal was for Dulwich on the 15th January when he scored against Leatherhead. Lets hope Taff, as he likes to be know as, can help us on to success for the rest of this season and who know perhaps beyond.Just to let you know I have made a few changes behind the scenes of the site, I don't think anyone will have any problems with anything but if you do please drop me a line and I will sort it out.

On Saturday we make the trip down to Leatherhead a ground that we have visited a number of times over the last few few most notably on February 14th last year when we beat Chessington United 9-0 in the league.
If your traveling by train, it's direct from Wimbledon with trains departing Wimbledon at 25 and 55 minutes past the hour and the journey taking 30 minutes. From the station it's about a 10 minute walk. On the journey home trains are every 15 minutes as you can change at Sutton on the way home. For people living in the Streatham, Tooting haydons Road area be aware that the Thames link service is not working and a replacement Bus Service will be running so add an extra 30 minutes onto your journey time from Wimbledon.The Man Of The Match Poll for the Cray game is still open so if you haven't voted yet please do so by clicking the link below: -

After the disappointment of a 0-0 draw on Saturday we were back to an all system go entertaining game tonight as we twice came from behind before breaking down a tough Cray side.
Looking at the league table before the game it was going to be clear that Cray would be hard to beat and it looked like that would be more of the case when they scored a cracker of a free kick in the first half so 1-0 down at half time but the second half was a different story. between the 70th and 80th minute 4 goals were scored first Ryan Gray leveled the score on 70 minutes with a free kick as good as the earlier one, then 3 minutes later Cray were back in the lead with a goal that somehow ended up in the back of the net via David Gray. We were back level 4 Minutes later when Richard Butler scored and then another 3 minutes later the player who may have been most disappointed about saturday's result due to his penalty miss Rob Ursell scored the winner. Somehow the ref managed to play 7 minutes injury time and in the last two of them the Cray Keeper came up to try and get onto corners or free kicks but with no luck so we progress. So a lot better performance than Saturday and reward for the 772 people that went to Kingsmeadow to watch it.The result of the Man Of The Match Poll from the Bashley game played on Saturday is as follows: -
