31/03/05 - Walton Travel
As mentioned yesterday no trains are running to Walton on Saturday but a replacement bus service will be running from Tolworth station. Train times that connect with the bus service can be found here. Regarding the bus service i would point out that a similar service was in operation for the Molesey game and it was very well organised. Tolworth Station has a large forecourt and so the busses park on it and each route is signposted, keep an eye out for the possibility of a "Walton Direct" service and that will take you to Walton Train station. As you leave the station walk up Ashley Park Road and then turn right into Stompond lane. A map can be seen here with the station just to the south of it. Information on prices can be found on the official site.
31/03/05 - Take Me Home
It's Just over 10 days before the release of the Everstrong CD Take Me Home so to help it possibly get in the charts and not only raise funds for the Stadium Fund but some Radio and TV publicity for the club click the Link on the left hand side and it will take you to HMV Site and the direct link to pre-order the single.
30/03/05 - Collection Boxes
On Saturday it was the first time that the "WUP Produced Collection boxes" were handed in after they were handed out a week ago, and after the proceeds were counted an excellent £116 was collected it might not sound a lot but based on the number of boxes handed back it a excellent total that will go towards the stadium fund. So if you want to help but don't have a collection box don't worry just bring any change to the collection window and Clair will take it off your hands or you can get a collection box from the back bar. Remember every penny counts.
30/03/05 - Advanced Travel Warning
Just advance warning that no Trains are going to Walton on Saturday I will provide a full travel guide on Thursday evening so that we can all get to the game on Saturday.
29/03/05 - Happy Monday's
So After Good Friday it was a case of Happy Monday's yesterday and a very comftable game of football where we secured promotion. As well as the three goals that we scored we hit the wood work 3 times. Once the final whistle blew it was really nice that the players left the pitch before coming back on for a lap of honour with the whole ground singing "WE ARE WIMBLEDON" Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves and it was lovely to see Dave Anderson bring his kids onto the pitch as well.
The Party went on well into the night and I imagine this will be the first of many parties between now and the end of the season. The Man Of The Match Poll is now open for Monday's game and you can vote by clicking below: -

28/03/05 - Been Here Before
After a 3-0 victory over Dorking thanks to goals from Steve Butler, Sonny Farr and Leon McDowall secured promotion to the Ryman Premier Division but with Walton getting a narrow victory at Molesey it means for the second year running we can win a League in Walton when we play Walton & Hersham away next win. The simple calculation now is that 1 more point sees us champions, or even if we were to lose every remaining game Walton would need to win every game they have left to overtake us.
Full update tomorrow, i'm Shattered but Very Very Happy :)28/03/05 - Dorking Matchday Service

26/03/05 - Advertising Slogan
If you live in the UK it's a fair chance you have seen various billboards with Advertising Slogans that will be used during the election that looks like it will be announced soon well below is a new one of the theme that I haven't seen yet but I hope people appreciate it.
25/03/05 - Another Step Nearer
This afternoon we took another step close to the title with a 3-1 victory over Banstead after taking the lead through Richard Butler. Banstead leveled the score when Paul Smith gave away a penalty and this was fired in.
Within 4 minutes of Banstead leveling the score Robert Ursell scored again to give us back the lead. and then with just 2 minutes of the half left Steve Butler got to the end of a corner, that he had won for us to make the score 3-1. In the nice sunshine, the second half was very relaxed although Banstead did press forward a lot for the first 15 minutes although not creating that many major chances and we left with the points.We now need a variation of 5 Points to be assured of the championships so if Horsham or Walton and Hersham were both to drop points Tomorrow or Monday and we beat Dorking we would be Champions.

24/03/05 - Champions Part 1
Tonight the Under 18's won 4-2 against Staines Town to be guaranteed the Eastern Division Title and a place in the playoff's where we will face the winners of the South Division in the semi final stage. With the possibility of Quarter Finals and beyond cup run the season is far from over.
The goals tonight were two from Bradley Drake and one each from Ryan O'Sullivan and Niall Connery. A 1-0 deficit at half time was followed by 3 quick goals that saw us take a 2-1 lead before Staines leveled straight after we had taken the lead. We then went on to secure the victory with a Ryan O'Sullivan goal and the scoring was wrapped up by Niall Connery, although Bradley Drake had a golden chance for a hat-trick when we were awarded a penalty but his first shot was saved and the rebound went wide. Well done to Nicky English, Keith Ward and all the players who have represented the side this season on what has been an incredible season.24/03/05 - Shane On The Radio
Last night Shane Smeltz was interviewed on BBC Radio London 94.9 FM and I managed to record the show. The recording is in Real Audio format and is 2.3mb in size it lasts for around 7 minutes but you can download it here. If you wish to listen in mp3 format you can listen here this file is 3.2mb. Some more good coverage for the club on the BBC.
24/03/05 - Champions Weekender?
It possible that starting tonight we could complete the first of two championships this weekend. The Under 18's need 1 point from 2 games and tonight take on Staines Town at Kingsmeadow, when we played the away game we were 2-0 down before winning 5-3. As ever admission to the under 18's games is free and it would be nice to see a few people watching them as they enter the pursuit for a possible League and Cup Double. If you cant make the game updates will be provided of goals and half and full times.
Then on Friday we have the first of two games that could see the first team declared Champions of Ryman League Division One on Monday afternoon if results were to go in our favour. so with the long weekend ahead lets hope it a good one.23/03/05 - Banstead On Friday
Friday afternoon and we make to the only place in the south of england that seems to have it's own weather system. Banstead Football Club or as watchers of the reserves know it "Ice Station Banstead" whilst it may be 25C and sunny everywhere else around the area the Football Ground at Banstead will be freezing cold and may even be raining, so put a scarf in your pocket you may need it.
In terms of transport the nearest train station is Tattenham Corner and the suggested journey from Wimbledon is tram across from Wimbledon to East Croydon and then get the Over ground train that departs from platform 5 or 6 to Tattenham Corner this departs at 9 minutes past the hour and takes just over 30 minutes from East Croydon. Once at Tattenham corner it's about a mile walk and you can see the train station at the top left of the corner and football ground right and middle on the following map. The ground has two nice size bars so if you arrive early you should be able to get a drink or two.22/03/05 - Save Some Change
On saturday you may have seen some small flat packed boxes being handed out either in the bar or outside the ground. These are the latest production fundraiser from the WUP team and have been made by one of the group. When put together (which is very easy to do) they make a nice little money box the idea is that you fill it up with change and then when full bring it to the ground and the money will be collected together, you can either take your box away or collect anew one.
If you haven't got a box yet they will be given out at the next home game, so try and collect all your loose small change together and you will be surprised how much and quickly it can be collected.22/03/05 - Poll Reminders
The man Of The match Poll and Weekly vote are both still open. The Man Of The Match Vote will close Friday Morning so if you haven't done please do so by clicking below: -
21/03/05 - Boxing (Sun)Day
Yes I know it's Easter at the weekend but yesterday (Sunday) was a case of Boxing Day on BBC2 as they showed coverage of the ABA finals from Friday night. Two of the fights were won by the Langley twins Darren and Stuart. Darren is a big AFC Wimbledon fan and was at the game on Saturday and spoke to Ivor and the crowd on the pitch at half time. After his fight on Friday night he was interviewed by BBC Sport and after taking off his gloves he put on a shirt for the cameras yes you guessed his AFC Wimbledon shirt. The Dons Online team of Woking Jon and Strawberry managed to capture the complete programme but it came in at 36mb so I have cut it down to the Interview which now makes it at 1.4mb and you can download it by clicking here This is in Windows Media Player format.
21/03/05 - Announcement At The Weekend
With Games on Friday and Monday this Extended weekend and the probability I will be doing updates from either Horsham or Walton on Saturdays as well advance warning that an important announcement will be made on Site Saturday morning so just because we aren't playing this Saturday itmustbedons.com will still be being updated.
20/03/05 - Everstrong Sunday
It's getting Closer to the release of "Take Me Home" By Everstrong three items of relating to the single can now be listened to or watched and they are as follows: -
20/03/05 - Sunday Round Up
A Reminder of Various things going on : -
AMAZON Watch - As ever the ground fund is gaining when purchases are being made via the Amazon Link on this page. Don't forget to click the link and then any purchases made via the site see a contribution, the current payment period ends at the end of this month so any sales made now will see proceeds passed on very soon, already this quarter around £70 has been made so lets see if we can get that figure a bit higher. Slimming Watch - The First "Dons Diet" has now been completed and 113lbs was lost by our 6 slimmer's or around 8 stone. If you sponsored any of the slimmer's please make sure that money is paid to the dons Trust marked slimmer's as soon as possible and dons diet 2 will start In April. England Watch - AFC Wimbledon have had our first player called up to the England Squad from the Men's first Team, no surprise it's Rob Ursell but rather than making the premiership players look silly he will be going to Belgium after the Dorking game to play in two games against Belgium at "Futsal" which is the International five a-side version of the full game. Event Watch - Three events that you may wish to take part in or let people know about. The first is the Boxing Night this will be the second AFC Wimbledon boxing night and will take place at Sandown Park on Saturday 2nd April after the Walton & Hersham game , tickets cost £50 a head and include a 3 course meal, last years event was a brilliant evening and very popular, any additional information and places booked through the commercial department of the club. Walk For Wimbledon 2 This is taking before the Met Police game on 9th April and starts at Plough Lane and Wimbledon Town Centre to Kingsmeadow, you don't have to undertake the whole route as it will also follow a bus route. As well as raising money for the ground fund you can request a percentage to go to two local merton charities as well this should help in you raising funds from non football people. more information can be found by emailing walk@thedonstrust.org Family Fun Day On Sunday 15th May it's the annual Family Fun Day and it's always a brilliant day but the people who are putting the event have made the following request "FAMILY FUN DAY SUNDAY 15TH MAY - The organisers are pleased to invite voluntary organisations to take part in the event, by having their own stall or perhaps by putting on a display. Please pass this invitation on to any voluntary organisations you belong to and ask them to contact Roger Dennis on roger.dennis@thedonsrust.org"20/03/05 - Poll Result

20/03/05 - **** BBC SUNDAY ****
This afternoon at 13:45 the BBC 2 are having a 10 minute round up of the 2005 ABA Boxing championships, I think this was the event Amir Khan pulled out of because they wouldn't give him enough tickets. All I will say is that it may be worth watching if your an AFC fan, I will also try and get a copy to host on the site.
19/03/05 - We Can Almost Smeltz It
Even the most pessimistic of supporter must admit that it looks like we will very shortly get promotion and win the League following this demolition of 2nd Place Horsham at Kingsmeadow.
In glorious sunshine we attacked the west bank in the first half and it was only 7 minutes before we were celebrating the first goal when Shane Smeltz headed in from a corner. We were 2-0 up and cruising when on 13 minutes Shane hit the ball towards goal but it didn't look like it would go in and Richard Butler fired into an empty net. Our 3rd goal after 28 minutes, of the half saw a typical run of Richard Butler force the keeper to the edge of the box and Richard lifted the ball over him and into the back of the net. With less than 30 minutes played thee points were in the bag. Horsham came out second half all guns blazing as they needed to and 5 minutes into the second half pulled a goal back after a free kick on the edge of the box reached an attacker in the box he turned and fired across goal and into the back of the net. Horsham continued to push forward but we kept them out and then with 30 minutes left Rob Ursell scored a lovely goal when he fired into the top corner from around 20 yards. After last weeks display some people said it was against a poor side but this week it was against the team who were 2nd in the table and we were a lot better than them. The simple maths is we now need 8 points to win the league, 7 if you count our superior goal difference. The Man Of The Match Vote is now open please click below to vote: -19/03/05 - Top Two Matchday Service
This afternoon the top two teams in Ryman Division One meet at Kingsmeadow when we host Horsham, this has the potential to be a great game, following Walton & Hersham's slip up in the week Horsham will be looking at putting pressure on them and of course us for the automatic promotion places. Radio Wdon will be in action this afternoon as well as the Matchday updates via the link above. If you cant make the game I hope it helps in your enjoyment of the afternoon.

18/03/05 - Two Reasons to Pre-Order
As you can see on the left hand menu I have added the button to pre-order "Take Me Home" by Everstrong if you haven't heard the track before you can now listen to a 30 second clip of the track in MP3 format by clicking the link below, if you thought that was good well a member of the "WUP team" has gone a step further and created the first Bootleg Video and it can be watched by clicking here and by going to the WUP home page you can download the video to play offline, this may be best if you want to send to people who may not see it or to view more than once although the file is an EXE file it is safe to download.
I am sure you will think both are great and if you wish to show your appreciation pre-order a copy of the single so that we can do our best to get it into the chart as high as possible in the first week, and remember all profits of the single are going to the Stadium Fund. To order just click the left hand pre-order button.17/03/05 - Tooting Tickets
As you may have seen the Tooting & Mitcham Game on 16th April has been made ALL-Ticket and therefore tickets must be purchased in advanced, I know some people are saying that all our away all-ticket games in the past have been changed at the last moment so you can get in on the day but this may not be the case with this game, so why risk the chance of missing out on this big game by not sending off for a ticket in advance. The details of how to get tickets are as follows: -
Prices:Stand: £7, no concessions
Ground: Adults £7, Under 16s and Senior Citizens £3. Subject to availability, tickets will now be on sale:
(A) At Imperial Fields Mondays-Fridays (8am to 12am).
(B) By post to Imperial Fields, Bishopsford Road, Morden, Surrey, SM4 6BF. Please state your ticket requirements clearly, and include an SAE and a contact telephone number. Cheque's/Postal Orders should be made payable to 'Tooting & Mitcham United F.C.' Please specify whether you are a home or away supporter.
17/03/05 - Walton Last Night
Last Night I went to the Croydon Athletic Vs Walton & Hersham game and it looks like a number of people followed the updates that I provided. In the first half Croydon Athletic seemed to lack confidence when it came to the final third of the pitch and in my opinion Walton & Hersham took a 2 goal lead against the run of play, the first goal was a goal keeping error when a free kick was taken a fair way out and near the touchline. On the stroke of half-time Croydon pulled a goal back from Matt Fowler.
The Second half was to see more drama when first Croydon Athletic leveled the score and then 2 minutes later and with 25 minutes left on the clock Croydon Athletic were awarded a penalty, the keeper was luck to stay on the pitch after he clearly pulled the player down and was the last man, matt Fowler stepped up and scored the penalty, to put Croydon 3-2 in the lead. Ten minutes Later Walton were furious with the ref when following a scramble in the box the ball either clearly hit a Croydon players hand to stop a goal or crossed the line for a goal but nothing was given and the ball was cleared. In the closing minutes Walton pushed forward and Croydon athletic had a few chances to catch them on the break but the score finished 3-2 to Croydon Athletic and Walton will see this as important points dropped.16/03/05 - Tonight's Fixtures

Copies of his book 'The Beautiful Game' will be on sale at £10 each (cheaper than from outside sources) with £4 from each copy going to the AFC Wimbledon ground fund. There is a large chapter in the book on our club and David is happy to sign copies on the day. David is a regular writer for the Independent and has always supported our club over the years. He is coming down from Manchester and naturally we'd like a good large attendance to show our support back so why not come down a little earlier to The Fans Stadium this Saturday to join in.
If you wish to read a review of the book you can by clicking here. Also don't forget that on Saturday you can collect your Dons Trust Membership card if you haven't done so yet and are a member. If you have any empty printer cartridges being them along and the Dons Trust will re-cycle them and also provide additional funds for the Stadium fund

14/03/05 - Re-Selling Seats
On Saturday morning Main Stand Season ticket holders should of received a letter about a trial scheme of re-selling seat tickets where the holder knows they wont be attending that game, and going by the vouchers handed in on Saturday for the Horsham game it looks like it's something that could be of benefit and mean additional seats will be on sale for games.
As ever the seats for home games go on sale to postal applicants on the Monday before the game.14/03/05 - Dons Trust Election
As you may have seen either on the Official Site or via an e-mail that I think was sent to all Dons Trust Members who have provided an e-mail address the results of the last Dons Trust election have had to be re-counted after a substantial number of voting forms had been held by the post office.
As well as the voting forms included were membership forms and these are being processed at the moment. All Dons Trust Members are now getting membership cards so you can see your membership number and when membership needs to be renewed easily. If you haven't seen the full story please click here.
