I mentioned Jess Barnes losing her assistance dog to cancer a few weeks ago. Unfortunately there's massive shortfall between the insurance payout and the actual bill and a just giving page has been set up. [Link]

Apparently the shortfall is much bigger than the origianal text suggests.

Dust your boots down, guys - this is your chance to play on the hallowed turf of Plough Lane. The WAWF Cup takes place on May 31 and we are looking for fans to line up to play along side the likes of Jon Main and Mickey Haswell (more TBC), in teams managed by Mark Robinson and Terry Brown. Full use of stadium/changing rooms etc. Hampshire referee etc. West Stand open for fans, Phoenix open for thirsty fans/players. Photos of the day and probably a few bits thrown in tbc too. And if you can't play, why not be an assistant manager or a mascot for the day... All proceeds to the playing budget, too. [Link]

DO mascot gets you on the pitch for the warm up, in the photos etc
Would anyone in here have run a line before? We have two qualified refs, but unfortunately our Linos have been called up elsewhere last minute, so desperately need one more

Called up for paid employment etc
DO we have someone else playing of similar age. And someone who I don’t know but looks quite young, at the other end. Does sound like varying ages and ability - a couple of guys who play for a vets team, 6 former Dons players now confirmed (dating back to - I think - 2002) and at least one who I think is late 50s, possibly early 60s.

Could also do with a couple of volunteers to help with admin on the day if anyone fancies
All good Pete. Richard finally has a permanent job after months in the wilderness following his motorbike accident. Hopefully withdrawing from being bank of mum but as my parents bought me my house I'm happy to pay it forward.

Yeah, scum is usually my word for them too. But seeing as the 'whatever was called' is now officially over, 'wankers' was unused for a while, so got an outing.

hope all is good with you, Leigh.
Pete, I always call them the scum. Walking into the reception area to collect my son from school way back in the day, Richard saw my face and asked "what have scum done now?" He was nine years old and got it.

Thanks Meadow. I don't use Discord either. Odd that the "statement" buried on the DT website does not mention withdraw as the basis for the mediation ending but merely states it finished.

I cannot fathom the logic of forcing us into a mediation process that was nothing more than a sham, with neither side actually committed to having any dialogue (presumably because there was nothing to talk about where either side had any hope or persuading the other) or some third party was appointed to oversee it. Totally pointless.
6mdm, it was also posted on Discord. According to Kris Stewart, the decision to withdraw from this process was made years ago and was only ever means to avoid sanctions. He has no clue as to why it took so long to be announced.

Thanks DD. However, I don't use the DT's WhatsApp. I naively thought their website would contain information for members. I'm sure there are some who would actually like to understand what this mediation process was for (be it to avoid punishment from the EFL for childish references or omissions or whatever) and now that it has concluded what does that actually mean in practical (non-box ticking) terms? If the answer is nothing and this was merely a necessary charade to avoid sanctions then they can use appropriate wording to convey this.

I was just at the Surrey vs Lancs game and am mystified how the game finished. The BBC site says Lancs lost 10 wickets but I think the final batter (which should have been Jimmy Anderson, I think) never came out to bat.

I'm even more clueless about cricket than football.
6MDM, there was an announcement on the DT's WhatsApp, which has now been deleted.

Speaking of which… shame Hoody disappeared without trace having actually been voted on the board.

Odd that.
You only get updates if you’re a trusted friend of a board member these days.

 [195.lo.gg.ed] 
Or are one of their pawns.
How did people discover this mediation "update" given it was buried in the news section and nothing to flag it up on the DT landing page? It was only reading on here that prompted me to go looking for it. Now that I spent the 10 seconds it took to read it, what in reality does it actually mean? Who said we needed to enter this farce of a process? Now that it has ended what can we now say or do that we couldn't before? That statement provides no context or useful information. It couldn't be any less pointless.

That will be the overriding memory of the Dons Trust. Every error you could make and not a single moment of accountability.
We might hear about the 400K during the 2030s at this rate

I’m sure there will be naysayers, but like the “Come Together” England squad video (I’m not saying I agree with every pick, just that it’s a great piece of media) ☺️

Presumably, if they are in Champs Lge next season, they have to play their home games at Southampton???
I know someone on here the other day hadn't realised that surrey games are on YouTube. Surrey v Lancashire live now blast
