3-1 defeat under McGhee. 3-0 down after half an hour. Probably the worst performance I have ever seen by a Rovers side. Even worse than the 6-1 defeat at Oxford...
Bah, Humbug!

I went to their first game back in the League. The 3-2 one mentioned above. Went to Plough Lane a few times. First the was in the FA Cup in 1968. Wimbledon were then an amateur side and Rovers won 4-0. I think Alfie Biggs scored at least one, possibly 2. Also went a couple of times in the early 80's. I have a feeling Ian Holloway made his first start, possibly playing right back, he wasn't very good, and we lost. The other game we drew 1-1, and Rovers goal was scored by Micky Barrett. There was a Youngs pub around the corner so my memories are a bit vague. The 1-1 draw in about 1983 when Micky scored was my only visit to Plough Lane . I think we drank in the clubs bar but can't be certain. Only thing I remember is how poor and quiet their Fans were, so never had any real sympathy for them. Not been to the new ground but that should change on Saturday. I was at that game. It belted down with rain, and they equalised near the end with a ( twice taken ) free kick.

Well I went to my first game at Kingsmeadow yesterday and my thoughts on Wimbledon and their fans has not changed. They still appear to be stuck in the 1980's. Very quiet home support, a management team that were moaning at the officials from start to finish. Long throws into the penalty box and a beast of a centre forward. I had hoped that "the crazy gang" was dead and buried but am not sure that it has. Quite sad really. The only highlight was the pint of Four Chimneys Ale that I had in the Club House bar, absolutely superb.
