OI: I totally agree with your comment about agreeing to take an active interest - that's very strange.

At least that bit doesn’t say “but only positive no criticism will be accepted and any questions will be ignored unless directed in private and considered under NDA.”

So casual vacancies are now classed as co-opted but presumably are different from co-opted external directors. Does that mean that if we go below 8 elected members we have to have a by-election and/or the DTB can't function. Definitely needs clafirying.

I wonder what the definition of "Agrees to take an active interest in the operation and development of the Society and its business" is. Do most people gifted membership by being a season ticket holder qualify?

It’s easier to stop someone being a member on day zero (no justification needed) than it is to remove a co-opted board member for three years (25 seconders required to even raise the motion… even before it’s been accepted and well before any vote and then proxies…)

Oi, I agree with that, unless special circumstances, 1 year or the next election whichever is soonest

I haven't read it yet, but my first comment is in the title and 1.1. The Trust's name is Wimbledon Football Club Supporters' Society Limited - they forgot the word 'Club'.

I wonder if anyone is collecting comments (I'm not volunteering). First thing I don't like is co-opting for 3 years (6.8)

6-7 years ago I was just happy being a fan (and having a club) but what I’ve seen and witnessed since has convinced me that we need to change things or accept that maybe our hard earned money is going into the wrong pockets.

Good on you, Trig. Thank you. Feel too old and tired these days to do that. Would have been in there with enthusiasm once. Look forward to your findings.

I’ll be doing a deep dive on the new constitution, the differences between it and the previous version and the things members and fans should be focusing on.

We've actually braced ourselves to look at the stuff from the club about the constitution and so on. Don't people define terms any more? Where are 'Club Values' defined, for example?

It’s not good and it’s not right.

Trig - the constitution, having to pay someone, whether suitable or otherwise to finally write it, shit housing volunteers, discord whataboutery, trust leaning on platforms to censure, board members gaslighting members, proxy poxy votes, chair silencing board members, threats, etc etc etc is all a side show to the number 1 issue - the club is perilously close to being brassic: and it gets very little airtime 👀

You guys are good mods no complaints from me.

This is such a strange football club.

I think that is 'not now' TF :)

Nothing below that anyone could bring any court action for.

Leaving it to Al ;) Basically if you wouldn't be 100% happy defending something in court then swerve because Bert/Meadow/WJ shouldn't need to worry about whether it would stand up in court.

It’s fine from my side mad I don’t know what was said or done.

Just pull it then Al - it was on social media if bods want to see the comments and the trust must do what they see fit.

Some comments are sailing close to the wind. For my part, I am uncomfortable with a couple of posts that go some way to implying somethings that will go someway to being akin to a knock on our door, that I can't, nor wish to spending time to verify as fact. Please don't make our job more problematic that it has to be.

Perhaps it's just that I was horrified from what I saw in print Trig so I apologise if I've offended anyone or it cast aspersions.
