With the Hatters' first season in the Blue Square Premier getting underway on Saturday 8th August, we will be taking a closer look at each of the 23 clubs the Town will be facing.

Today we start with Conference South Champions AFC Wimbledon.

Nicknames: The Dons, The Wombles.

Manager: Terry Brown.

Ground: Kingsmeadow.

Last season: Conference South: 1st Champions.

2008/2009 Average attendance: 3,219.

Previous meetings: None. Although the Hatters faced the original Wimbledon 14 times including an FA Cup semi-final defeat in 1988 before the Dons went onto lift the trophy after beating Liverpool in what was the 'year of the underdog'.

The Town took on AFC Wimbledon for the first time a year after their birth with a friendly at Kingsmeadow in 2003.

2009/10 BSP title odds: 20/1

Recent history:

The 2008/09 campaign saw Wimbledon's meteoric rise through the Non-League pyramid continue following their fourth promotion in seven seasons.

It all started back in 2002 for the club reborn following the original Wimbledon's relocation to Milton Keynes.

Starting in the Combined Counties League their first promotion was sealed in their second season of existence in 2003/04 when topping the CCL and earning promotion to the Ryman League.

A second Championship followed in the next campaign when lifting the Ryman League Division One title in 2004/05.

The Dons had near misses in the semi-finals of the Ryman Premier League playoffs two seasons running before making it third time lucky in 2007/08 when beating Staines Town in the playoff final.

Quickly acclimatising to life in at a higher level, the Dons' title triumph in the Conference South last season means they're now one step from reaching the Football League.

FACT: All the silverware won by the club as the original Wimbledon now takes pride of place in the Merton Library in Morden.
