New Signing Friday pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaase

Keefy - I shared a link from the OS in 2021 about Hector, who is a Dons supporter and was at Manchester with his Dad for the play off final.

Wally was a club legend Surrey Bob, our first apprentice, played in all 4 division for us and from being 10 or 12 points we'll adrift managed to get us safe during our great escape season.. OK we started the next season badly after the budget had been reduced . 8 bets some before his time as manager were stupid,but he was hard done by the club and that's why some of his loyal fans chipped in for a watch at no expense to the club..

I tried that last season, A4E, but the jobsworth stewards in the West Stand confiscated my BBQ.

A4. definately on the cards. But as i don't drink or eat at the ground. Am I bothered?

How long before the new caterers insist that nobody is allowed to take any of their own food into the stadium….. 🙄🤦🏻‍♂️

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
