JG the return that you get is having a football club with Wimbledon in its name. Am I in a parallel universe or has everybody forgotten what happened and how close we came to not having a football club to bitch and moan about and criticise the people that are running it. I don’t know him, but JG seems to personify how an owner would view our club, all about personal gain. Be careful what you wish for. Quite a few on here don’t seem to like JG very much at the same time as advocating selling to an owner.

If we’re going to do the TBK unanswered questions sticky we could call it an icky.

Laurence - I’m not getting into the JG or not JG argument I really don’t care about that - but it’s obvious in this case that if a private owner wants to whack in £10m of their own money in the hope of reaping the rewards from promotion to the championship or premier league and the increased revenues available there then that’s why they would do that. JG is pointing out that we owners don’t have that. Anyone that wants to contribute to the WAWF fund is well within their rights to do so but it is not an investment. WAWF are thankfully very clear about that - this is a donation and your money is spent and gone. You don’t hand it over expecting any financial return. Private owners may well see their input differently, but if your sportswashing companies don’t seek direct financial return then they still see a financial benefit from the bigger picture.

JG has just summed one of the ills of the world. Too many people who become super wealthy, rather than put it back into the society that helped them acquire it, just go to their financial adviser to find out how to move it to a tax haven.

"DonsTix worked brilliantly for Wembley." So as long as you had it with you it allowed you to enter the stadium just like any other previous type of ticket. It's like saying the doors to the bogs at Wembley worked brilliantly.

JG - what do you think they are getting in return?

rover t - thankyou for pointing this out.

Graeme Price is completely missing the point. Obviously the reason why owners at other football clubs often put their hands into their pockets to pump further money into their clubs is because they are getting something in return. Some sort of return on Capital - whether it be an eventual monetary return or some form of accolade within the community and amongst their peers. Why would I donate to some Collectivist dream where I receive neither and my fellow fan who donates less or nothing gets the same benefit from my donation? Call me selfish - yes I am and proud of it. Sorry but human nature is self-interested and we most certainly haven't yet reached the alienation of things

6MDM: On your smartphone you will have a a Google Wallet. Best to download into the Wallet. You will rarely get good internet at matches or concerts when there are a lot of people simultaneously using it.

I hope Delano McCoy-Splatt's footballing career doesn't follow a similar path to his older brother Javaun Splatt. At Derby County aged 18/19. Now at 24 playing for Hythe Town in the Southern Counties East Football League having been at 10 different clubs in between.

TBK are you planning on answering any of the outstanding questions asked of you on here? You claim engagement is a two way street and that you’re surprised at how few emails you’ve had since becoming a board member. Should have plenty of time to answer the questions here. Would it help if we requested a sticky that contains all the questions you’ve so far left unanswered?

Yes that's what I did - just get the right bit open before you go to the game and then select that page to get through the barrier

6MDM, no you don't. Your ticket is downloaded on to your device. You do need battery though of course.

6M - just go to WiFi and pick AFCWGuest - should work… Otherwise get your ST loaded on the app as you walk to the ground - it shouldn’t need internet 👍

On an entirely different topic, do you need internet access at the time you would use the ticketing app the club launched towards the end of the season to gain entry? The reason I ask is I can never get online at Plough Lane. I've had this issue with two different phones and two different mobile phone carriers (first Vodafone and, for the last few years, Sky). Maybe it is just me but I would be surprised if there are not others. What would happen to them if they pitched up and could not get in because their app could not get online?

I don't suppose Graeme added "and meanwhile we are looking at all other ways of reducing costs and raising revenue so that we need to make fewer calls on these 'owners'"?

Good point, RK and I didn't want to go to either Bromley game as it goes!

“We own our club”. . . When it needs more money . . .

“Dons Trust Board member Graeme Price added: ‘At other clubs the owner may or may not increase the side’s playing budget and it just so happens we have around 7,000 owners to call upon, and this is a great initiative for all those who are able to, to really contribute to our success.’”

I struggle to see not going to Bromley as punishment Rover...

I copied it from the X (Twitter) announcement - it was mentioned there.

Further to Winchester Don's post of 14.10, it appears I must be the one ST holder who opted out of DT membership last season and didn't purchase a separate membership! Having been a founder member I lapsed a few years back and did not want to be forced to rejoin, so I opted out. I was punished accordingly - e.g for one of the Bromley away games to apply for a ticket you had to be a member (with or without an ST). So as merely an ST holder/shareholder/bondholder I had no chance of a ticket. Someone who had bought a membership for the first time last summer did have a chance. Ironically, I was guaranteed a ticket for the other Bromley game due to my previous away game record! Therefore, reluctantly, I decided against opting out this time so as not to be caught out in a similar situation, all just so that Drake, Buckley etc can boast about how many members we have
