Seems like that is a view which is becoming increasingly common SA.

The DT is not really worth having now. Just sell up and see where that takes us. It's clear to me that we cannot survive being fan-owned at the level we are at. I'm not saying that having a single owner is a golden bullet but the DT is holding the Football Club back IMO and reminds me of the current government in that the DTB is clueless and cannot make a difference to the members.

Having declined a vague request to chair the ESG (not as strong as being head hunted), I have followed up by asking if they had found one but now my emails are being ignored(too much of a PITA).

As per request from the new and improved gimps the quotes below came via a Subject Access Request.

But Timmy money from Nkeng's transfer will go straight to paying off debt!

Another 44 nil nils might be enough to see us safe. Be good to get junior nkengs contract sorted so he can help us move up the league

Let's enjoy the season,not another boring dons election, let's hope no one stands.its a real distraction during the season from our exciting football displays

Talking of dons trust elections surely nominations must be open imminently ? Has there been any correspondence? Is there now an ESG?

Bert - Ai of Green Gables.

$6m - The original AI interpretation of yesterday's image did not add a gable, but coloured it green. That was randomly (and incorrectly) added when changing it to blue ...

Website Errors Affecting Candidates: Shane's nomination form for the board election was sent to the wrong address because there was a typo on the official website's election pages.  Retaliatory or Escalatory Reactions: After Shane attempted to exercise his constitutional right to arbitration under Rule 121, board members discussed imposing a high financial barrier—initially landing on a £2,000 deposit—with members like James Longhurst noting that asking for an amount well above the baseline constitution-specified £500 ("or reasonable sum") risked making the board look like they were "bullying and using our power to stop the arbitration."  Public Posturing and Pre-empting: Some board members suggested publishing summaries and narratives about Shane on public internet forums (like ProBoards and WUP) to get ahead of him or control the narrative before he or his friends posted.  Exclusion and Ban Coordination: The board and staff coordinated bans and restrictions across platforms (such as ProBoards and Discord), with moderators noting they kicked Shane from the Discord server.   Internal Frustration vs. Formal Duty: Board chair Angus Fox explicitly stated in emails that unless Shane withdrew his Subject Access Request (SAR), he saw "no point of continuing dialogue," reflecting a breakdown in professional communication channels despite statutory obligations to handle SARs

Like that, Pete!

Wonder if many people earned any loyalty points today?

Womens team obliterate Argyle 0-6

Great tribute to Keegan at Newcastle v Liverpool

REPD - Stevens line up alongside Stockley? Doubt we will see that before January!

Oh you meant Newport doh!

We lost on pens didn’t we?

Well last year when I came over I saw 3 games & 3 wins, this time around I’ve seen 1 win (albeit on penalties) one defeat & one draw, with a grand total of 1 goal scored in open play, I can’t say the football has been scintillating stuff but I’ve still enjoyed the whole watching the Dons live & soaking in the matchday experience again, I fly back down under on Tuesday morning so I’ll be making do with Dons tv.i was pleased to see Mikey T in the lounge after yesterdays game so wanted so said hi & thank him for the commentary that he & Rob provide for a lot of us overseas Dons. From what I’ve seen it’s got to be a long slog of a season but let’s hope that we can grind out enough points so that at least the next time I make it over I’ll still be able to watch our club in league 1. Keep the faith & COYD!!

That’s funny I see Robbie Earle

The crowd is a magic eye picture. If you de focus your eyes then after a while you see Peter Fear.

Today's OTD photo looks ridiculous. I can't see the point of AI-ing these old photos. Maybe colourise them, but leave it that.
