    Even greater news,we are still in the cup https://www.stockportcounty.com/ches...o-be-replayed/
    Thanks for thinking of the Dons and me, Edgy and teamsaint, yes I do look in from time to time but rarely post as I don't go to many games (pre-lockdowns). But it is great to be back at the Lane, many people didn't think we'd get there but some of us never stopped believing ... in fact the Supporters' Association (independently of AFC Wimbledon) kicked off the process 15 years ago by organising several write-ins to the Council who were preparing the borough plan, and that was a big factor in getting the site designated for sporting use. Shows fan power does work.

    There were a few worthies at the game tonight but most of us were watching on iFollow. The pitch looked fantastic, lush and green. 2-2 was a respectable result, considering Doncaster were the better team. We did go ahead twice, about the only proper attacks we had all match! But at least we are still comfortably above the Frannies. And a draw is rather better than our last competitive game at the old stadium (my first-ever game) when we went down to Palace courtesy of a hat-trick by Ian Wright.


    Edgy, I'm glad County are doing so well, fingers crossed you make it through, tomorrow.

              Good to get some good news on the eve of Lockdown 2, edge - also good news for the Owls in a reduction of the deduction on appeal -still bottom but nearer to safety!

                    Feeling dizzy, teams? Saints do knock it about really well... comical Toon defence for No.2 though.

                    Now for the summit meeting on Sunday! Oh, wait a minute.....
                    Well OK - for managers then....sort of....

                        Well done, Saints. Doing a Leicester?

                        (PS Palace did beat them a few weeks ago)

                          Glad we could help your day ER.

                          maybe “for one night only” but we have to savour these moments. And even better we have got there playing brilliant football. We are a joy to watch right now.Hopefully we can all be back in stadiums before too long.

                          One of the pleasures of our run since the summer restart has being seeing Adams and Vestergaard seize their chance and perform at their true level, after tough starts at SMS.

                                ...I agree with Dr Van Helsing!

                                We managed a goal-free game last night v Utd after a month of no games. No game for another fortnight, and just when we were on a roll!
