I thought it was Robinson.

Maybe both will stand.
OI - true

TSO - saw both post, but didn't notice who said they were standing. So thanks for paying attention. :o)

I think the lack of announcing might be be to do with the uncontested elections last time out. There is a big worry the Board will stuff the ballot at the last minute with the same old faces if they fear the challenge from new members who think collective responsibility is a load of old bollocks.

I voted against 50.01%. Way too close to the bone for me.

Laurence - always some people waited till their nomination had been approved before engaging. What used to annoy me was existing DTB members who declined to say whether they were standing again or not until the nomination period was over. One thing I can compliment the current DTB on is that they do seem to be clearer on that.

I thought it was Hamilton. The chat from last night is gone now so I could be wrong

I know of three now without trying to find out. If people are standing they are being relatively quiet. Strange.
Good to hear OI

Women hit the post in the 87th minute whilst leading 2 nil. But it went to extra time and as Meadow said, we eventually lost on penalties. I would like to pose a question though. Why aren't the penalty takers (regardless of whether they scored/missed) listed? May be wrong, but I think this was the case in previous penalty shoot outs for the Women. I get it at U16 level, but an adult level is it necessary? It's actually less caring who misses (at least one person on either team has to) but good to know who has a good penalty success record when it comes to future shoot outs. I like to consider who the five will be and thus logical substitutions during extra time.

Keefy. East Stand is closed tonight. West Stand only open. Only £10 if your are an AFC Wimbledon Member, aka ST holder with benefits. I guess Member with Benefits is like Friends with Benefits.

I’d rather see a bit of healthy and informed debate on the top table (board members only of course) than have this collective responsibility crap that ends up with people not even speaking for three hours and conflicting motions being put to vote.

I can see the logic of bundling 50.01 and Super RA - it's effectively give a little control in one place but gain a little bit of control in another - but the weird timing definitely seems like its a back room political move to placate some of the more fundamentalist voices.

If I was an equity investor, the Super RA would also decrease the value I would put on the business. It's such a self defeating move in every way that I look at it.
Meadow Thanks

£14 to watch the stiffs play Brighton tonight. I'll give a miss until the next round. I presume only the East stand will open.

Sounds like some new faces standing for the DTB. Anyone know Ian Hamilton who announced himself on the YT chat last night? There’s obviously Ivor too, anyone know anyone else?

Perhaps the Super RAs are a sort of minority report from those on a possibly split DTB who don't like 50%+1 being put to members?

There have been many resignations, after all
The club aren't particularly transparent on the make-up of our revenue (nor the increased costs). There is only so much you can garner from the accounts. It was suggested last night that no further DT meetings should take place in the West Stand until the lifts are fixed. And that doesn't sound like it will be soon. Operating external events without accessibility is going to hit the club, especially anybody looking now at possible future events.

I'd suggest pretty much anyone (who is engaging) gets why we are having a 50+1 debate and vote. Does anybody understand why the Super RA is also happening? For me personally, I have the ludicrous situation where the Super RA vote is more important than the 50+1 vote. I'm not going to throw my toys out of the pram on which way the latter vote goes, but I would if the Super RA was passed.

The belief that the DTB are running all of this is wrong in my opinion. The power is elsewhere (and not with the DT members).
It could be a case where the costs of flood protection on our floodplain stadium site start to become prohibitive and we want to move elsewhere. Who knows what the future holds? Knee capping ourselves on flexibility is not really the answer.

I think most are in agreement that the super RAs are a bad idea, and it’s an idea that seemed to spring up out of nowhere. The options paper on other protections was shoddy and not a two way dialogue.
