On This Day in 1968
Eddie Bailham nets a goal as the Dons hold the powerful Cambridge United side to a 3-3 draw in a pulsating Southern League match at Plough Lane. Two glaring mistakes from goalkeeper Frank Smith cost the hosts the chance of victory in a match when the lead changed hands several times. The result left Wimbledon in 8th place, just three points behind leaders Yeovil Town.

[Election reminder paraphrased to vaguely be readable on WUP]: A quick reminder that nominations to stand in the upcoming Dons Trust Board elections are open! There are 5 vacancies: 4 full-term (three year) and 1 shorter term (one year). All the information on how to stand can be found here: [Link] This is going to be a hugely pivotal year for AFC Wimbledon and for the Dons Trust. Being on the board is both a way to make a huge contribution to the work of the Trust by giving it your time and skills, and an opportunity to be part of the Trust's history in an important and exciting way.

SA - I'll vote for you if you stand for DTB on that ticket. Very happy that your views have changed so much since we last spoke about it. I'll also vote for anyone else who stands with the same views. Better to control who we sell to rather than administration.

Laurence-yes, you are correct that it is £400 per year per DT member that would be needed to cover the annual losses, that was my error, I apologise. I wouldn’t adjust this amount to ignore depreciation, as this is effectively the cost of maintaining our capital assets and is a real cost/loss that has to be paid at some point, even if it is “non cash” in the short term. I still don’t think that you would get 6000 people willing to put in £400 per year- though perhaps those keen on fan ownership should ask the question to see.

I bought shares to help buy Kingsmeadow. I bought bonds to help get the stadium completed. I could cover my share of annual losses but I can't see a high proportion of members doing that so it is time to admit we need outside investment. Did we pick the right people? No idea but we can't go on looking for perfection when we need good enough.

$6m man- just to come back to your post yesterday, it will now be fascinating to see what the 2026 accounts (due imminently) have to say about going concern status- I can’t see how the board could assert that we are are going concern for the foreseeable future, having said that without the (now scrapped) deal the company was only viable for 4-6 months

Nick in 2019, we were asked to put in £3,000 each. BTW not £40k as you pointed out, but lots less. My calculator says 6,000 times £400 each would give the club £2.4 million, which is the quoted annual losses, part of which is purely accounting depreciation, and not cash. The DTB have though closed down the fundraising working group.

Annual accounts in December will be read keenly.
The current DTB recommended and supported the SSC deal so even if the whole board was comprised of sell out and be done advocates, it wouldn't stop those who do not believe in democracy and the will of others trying to stop things they disagree with. What it would stop is a board full of enshriners not even bringing such deals forward.
9th Nov 2026 10:08:05 
 [81.lo.gg.ed] 
Having said all that, I'm minded to think this deal collapsing had nothing to do with sabotage and more to do with empty pockets. It may turn out for the best if SSF find a more robust and resilient funder who supposed wealth is tied up in precarious AI shares.
SA- I would definitely vote for you- though it’s obvious that you would be blocked from standing, given past practice. I actually think it would be £4k, not £40k, per annum from each DT member to cover £2.5m annual losses, but that is equally not going to happen and makes very clear the delusion and wishful thinking of those advocating continued fan ownership.
