Donna's away day to Gillingham


Second to last game of the season. The mighty AFC Wimbledon need to pick up points to avoid the dreaded drop into the Conference...
Can they do it?
Tired of sitting at home, having to watch Final Score to find out the results, Donna demands to come along to cheer the Dons on to victory.....
Donna makes a new friend outside the pub before the game....
Nerves are jangling, as a visit to Gillingham, who are flying high at the top of the table, awaits...

A nice sunny day...on the rickety pikey scaffolding which constitutes the "temporary" seating for away fans...


 Oh no! Down 1-0 within 10 minutes. Disaster!
Then another goal, and we go in 2-0 down at half time. What the flippety-flip!?!!

The gaffer's half time talk seems to do the trick, as well as attacking the goal at the away end for the second half. Can we pull our socks up?
65 mins, Yes we can! 2-1! Jack Midson scores with his right...
Then miracle of miracles! An equaliser! 2-2! Meades hits home on 81 mins! Yay!!!
Can we push for a winner.....?
Ooooohhhh!! Alexander hit the post with a curling shot. So close!
Gillingham park the bus for the final few minutes...while Strutton and Midson and Alexander play three up front...

But the game finally ends with honours even!


The Wombles come back from 2-0 down to gain a well-deserved point!

Congratulations to the Wombles. And well done to Gillingham - who are crowned League 2 Champions at home, with one game to spare!

Phew! 2-2 A hard fought battle... and of course, as usual, other results don't go our way :( But at least we know a win next week (at home against Fleetwood Town) will keep us safe from relegation. A draw or a loss are no good at all... which makes it nice and simple!

Erm..... :/ 

Anyway, back along the A2 towards South West London, and a nice relaxing cuppa....
