Paddington that’s the issue now. Elect someone not part of the clique mentality they get blocked and told to resign if they don’t want to play along. Don’t elect someone they co-opt and you get the feeling it’s based on who they can work with.

Why do we think we are getting a 'statement '?

Padds, indeed!

Hackford is the next AAH for us. If anything he’s got going a bit quicker.

Does the money from an EFL trophy match cover the cost of opening the stadium?

And unless I 've misunderstood they can use the timing of Mav's resignation to replace him with their own co-optee, rather than the 6th placed candidate in the election.

Bauer gets a taking one for the team yellow card. Is that professional nous?

Finally. We have someone you feel can score a one-on-one

Good goal from Hackford - I forgot Browne was playing.

Tonight’s attendance is 599 (55 away)

Hackford pace ! Scores a good goal

Shane I can't help but think of the Haribo adverts when I read rule 10 😆 If we think you're naughty or you've ever ever ever been naughty, then you're not playing.

Orsi anonymous, Chelsea loan Hughes still unable pass forward.

Still nothing, maybe they hope this will all blow over……

Thanks. I read that as a desperate way to keep the status quo

10. Candidates' attention is drawn to the communications provisions in the AFC Wimbledon Volunteer Code of Conduct. Any conduct that the ESG considers a breach of the Code of Conduct will result in a candidate becoming ineligible. Candidates will also be responsible for any past conduct considered by the ESG that would risk bringing the Dons Trust/ Club into disrepute will also result in the candidate becoming ineligible.

Can someone please copy and paste rule 10

Dear all, (Please note this email also includes bcc recipients of interested parties.) I hereby submit a formal challenge to the validity of Rule 10 and it's use to block my election nomination. Rule 10 should not be recognised as an election rule because it has been created in a manner which contravenes The Dons Trust Constitution. It should not exist as an election rule and cannot be applied to myself or any nominee. The Dons Trust Constitution states that election rules each year must be approved by the Society Board. This did not happen. The Secretary and ESG Chair have been asked to provide proof that the rule was presented and approved by the board. They have failed to do so. The Secretary said they would provide that evidence. They have not. If it existed then it would have been easy to find within the DTB minutes of the relevant meeting. Given the unreasonable power such a rule hands to an unelected volunteer such a discussion would have been both memorable and lengthy had it occurred. The ESG Chair replied that it was up to the board to provide the proof. I disagree with this and please note multiple board members, currently standing and former, were not aware of the rule and have not seen it presented or approved at any board meeting. Board members have been told by the Secretary various different explanations as to why that approval was not sought from the board. Further to this, multiple members are willing to state on record that the Secretary confirmed to them that they had not sought approval from the board for Rule 10. Rule 10 provides full power of veto to block candidates from standing for election, without requiring evidence or explanation, without the right to a hearing or any right of reply. No reasonable board would have approved this rule if it had been presented to them. Please also note that any attempt to say that any one individual board member approved the rule verbally or otherwise does not qualify as being in line with the Dons Trust Constitution rules. I therefore request: 1. My nomination continues forwards, my manifesto is shared alongside the others and I am included in the hustings and the ballot 2. The ESG Chair and Secretary stand down from their roles immediately given their conduct is clearly both detrimental to the Society's interests and risks bringing the Trust and club into disrepute 3. An independent investigation is commenced to assess whether other members of the DTB or ESG should also be held accountable for a rule being falsely created in an anti-constitutional manner and applied in such haphazard style with those responsible fully aware that they were acting against the constitution rules, and the subsequent appeal being rejected without being able to represent myself or receiving any justification for the decision This once proud football club deserves to be respected more than the conduct observed here. Members of the trust deserve to be treated with more respect than has been demonstrated here both directly in my case but also to the wider membership who are not being allowed their right to vote. It is a shameful event in the history of AFC Wimbledon and should be acknowledged as such so that lessons can be learned and the Trust can move forwards. Please acknowledge receipt of this email. I would like the situation resolved by Monday so that I may begin my election campaign alongside other candidates. I have already lost much time and been subjected to libellous claims on the official Dons Trust Discord server where I am not permitted the right of reply because of a block in signing up which I have not had explained or justified despite multiple requests being made to the Secretary, Asst Secretary and DTB Chair.

I reckon a statement will drop at 8pm

Alan (IOW) couldn't agree with you more and for exactly and was same reason why I was happy yo proposed Shane last time just a shame our DTB going out of their way to ensure voters can't decide

Foyo the most skillful player on the pitch but being played at JJ s favourite position. Wingback! The end of Sasu.

Even with the enhanced floodlights advertising hoardings still way to bright.

The music sounds better then the attendance it’s a London thing

Looks a ghost town on tv
