There’s a lot going on tomorrow at The Cherry Red Records Stadium as the Dons get their pre-season underway against Premier League opposition.
Watford, under new Head Coach Marco Silva, are the visitors and there’s silverware up for grabs in the form of the the Football Manager Cup (3pm kick-off) on what is shaping up to be a great day down at the Dons.

There is a matchday programme available tomorrow. It covers two matches – the Football Manager Cup game against Watford and next Friday night’s match against Championship side Burton Albion. There’s plenty of news to catch up on, plus the usual regular pages from manager Neal Ardley and Chief Executive Erik Samuelson. The cost is £2.
Club Shop
The shop is set to be a very popular area of the ground on Saturday! Our new third kit and training gear, supplied by Puma, was launched at “Meet the Manager”. New signings Callum Kennedy and Kwesi Appiah are pictured wearing the new training tops at the training ground this week.
The eye-catching black kit is proving to be popular among fans, but don’t panic! We have plenty of stock as well as other new clothing from the Puma range.

Searches
There will be increased bag searches in operation, following recent events in the news. Please understand that this is for your safety and be patient when entering the ground. If possible, please do not bring large bags to the match.
Yellow and Blue
When you enter the stadium you may notice that thanks to the hard work of volunteers we have a new look! Posts on the terracing and around other parts of the stadium have been painted during the break by AFC Wimbledon volunteers.
