Who is JG Who is Hector?

When we bin Foyo (as we should) do we contribute towards getting him a watch?

What email address did you use DD or was that via Discord?

Dave Skinner, the club pies are about £5.50 and very nice, especially the steak and mushroom. Would I have one without a volunteer's meal voucher? No way. I'd go to Greggs.

Doh, a redundant z in my post... and I meant it shouldn't affect the substance of the resolutions.

I had a reply from Michele about the share sale. They're selling a blend of z ordinaryand A Ordinary shares but already have shareholders' authority for the sale of the A Ordinary so are only seeking authorisation for the Ordinary. So all is well, other than a typo on the heading of the paper (which shouldn't affect the authorisation of the resolutions themselves) and (in my view) the lack of an explanation of the transaction.

Laurence, I knew that the club did something about Hector Pardoe but I wasn't sure what so thanks for clearing that up. I hadn't heard of him then but occasionally check his progress now.

Easy. If the club catering sells pies on their own at £12 and they are shite. Some fans will go to mypie and get a decent pie mash and peas for £14.

Did it on the OS: [Link]

Can't remember whether the club did a programme piece on Olympian Hector Pardoe

Interesting idea. (I haven't been following the back-and-forth with JG recently.) I think The fact that there are so few holders of Ordinary Shares would perhaps make it a bit easier to get agreement than if there were lots of them.

I'd probably go with something close to JG! Shares drop to one vote but a very heavily discounted rights issue of 2 new shares for each currently held Ordinary share. Not thought out in detail.

The question is, OI, how do you sort it out? Is it a case of asking the DT (and other holders of Ordinary Shares) to accept that they only have one vote each? Do we compensate them for that? For what it's worth, I can see there being a case for another class of shares - a single "golden share" which requires the PLC to obtain the holder of that share (i.e. the Dons Trust) to approve any change to the name of the club, sale of the ground etc. Then (controversial, I know) we could be less bothered by the DT's shareholding being above 75%, 50% or whatever.

Good stuff DD.

I have just made my first ever (I think) post on Discord, Trigger, and have also emailed the Secretary.

DD - The whole two classes of share is a nonsense now, especially if the club are still going with the fiction that a 1 vote share and a 3 vote share are of equal value.

DD are you on Discord? I do appreciate Mav’s engagement on here but it’s also clear that the board still aren’t really interested in engaging all members. Feels like a question for on there and/or direct to the board and then hopefully you are able and willing to share on here.

Just noticed that the heading of the paper itself says A Ordinary shares but the resolutions themselves only refer to Ordinary shares. That can't be right.

Trig - ha, no, well after my time and wouldn't have been the likes of me anyway

Honestly nicander betting just flies miles above my head it doesn’t register with my brain at all. So I try not to judge anyone who gets into trouble from it because it’s clearly bigger than a personal decision for some people given the scale of some of these cases.

The papers for the AFCW PLC EGM seek authorisation to sell Ordinary Shares (i.e. shares with 3 votes each) but not A Ordinary Shares. If we're only selling Ordinary Shares to Across the Pond, then they're buying quite a level of control. By contrast, we sold Nick Robertson a blend of Ordinary and A Ordinary shares such that his shareholding was 10% both in terms of economic and voting shares. I've asked the club to clarify. There may be a simple explanation (e.g. relying on a pre-existing authorisation to sell A Ordinary shares), but it's worrying that this isn't explained at all in the paperwork.

Did you sign the food vans deal nicander? 😆

Fair enough, will catch you at a game sometime ;)

Trigger - I had zero sympathy for Downes and his eight bets so you can imagine how much I've got for the double century lad.

(But easy to see the plethora of gambling adverts connected with football and sport in general)
