That's excellent news, nick.

AFCW PLC AGM coming up soon

No worries, Naz. I didn't think to look on the OS either until someone directed me there!

Clapdonn - Probably not possible. The Dons Trust have a legal obligation not to take any action likely to prejudice the capital repayment of the bonds they have issued. Allowing AFCW plc to dispose of the stadium would clearly be such an action. If the DTB reps on the AFCW plc board voted in favour of this, they could become personally liable for prosecution and even to be sued for damages for acting ultra vires.

Thanks Sandy. He used to ask me to reserve the front two seats for him when he occasionally used the coach for away matches. We used to chat a lot on the journey and his encyclopedic (spelling?) knowledge of not just the Dons but all things football and well beyond was amazing. I asked him to join our team in Alex quiz but sadly he declined. Even with Mr Historical Don on board we didn't win.

Seems that people have more faith investing in local pubs than local football clubs [Link]

Lol @ Oddsock - wouldn't happen in my household, not sure wife knows where the kitchen is...

Naz - there's a piece on the OS [Link]

Thought I was in an earthquake once.Turned out the wife was throwing a wobbler in the kitchen.

I'm hoping to go to Mikey T's wake. Do we have to RSVP? Details appreciated - but not X, Facebook, Instagram etc which I avoid like the plague. Ta. And RIP Mikey.

Hash - I also slept through a 4.4 after-shock that followed the 6.9 main one.

Question for those who know… if “the club” does indeed go into administration which actual company would that be? TWIOF, AFCWPLC or something else? And based on the answer, who gets left working at the club to work alongside the administrators?

I have been in 2 earthquakes. One was 5.5 i think and it woke me up and scared the shit out of me. The other i slept through and only found out about the next day.

I'm still confused about freehold despite DD's answer a few weeks ago. You can separate that from the building under UK law but I'm not sure how it would be valued and what any tax implications of transferring it to another company would be.

Airsy - thanks :)

I only got to 5.9 in the Rosemead California 1987 one but quite strong enough thanks.

Hope it doesnt come to this, but if push comes to shove, before a commercial loan is taken on, ill throw this idea out there (because im bored) and it can be shot down!: 1. new company to own PL is set up, by fans. Shares sold to fans,one vote per shareholder, Trust can own a golden voting share that allows certain veto rights. 2. Plough Lane bondholders swap their £8m of bonds into shares. That wipes out about £400k a year of interest and the £3.3m due in 2027. 3. cash injection from PL company into the club to buy the ground (the new equity issuance) 4. The lease starts on a low, stepped rent, a covenant ties the land to football, and the club gets an option to buy it back.

A4E - No, it's not

Is the Orient game in the international break window? Just wondering if it’s likely to get postponed….

I was in LA for the Fukushima tsunami after it had travelled across the Pacific Ocean. They had helicopters flying up and down Santa Monica beach with loudspeakers yelling at everyone to get off the beach. In the end the tide came in a few metres for a few minutes and that was it.

Was in LA for my honeymoon in 1989 and there was a 4.5 earthquake. Seemed pretty minor to me, but locals were running around like headless chickens!

Yeah they must have felt pretty dynamic. Mine was much more gentle at 4.2 but I was on a high floor of a Tokyo skyscraper and it was fun.

TF - Earthquakes - I experienced 4 in under 2 weeks in 2025 in the Philippines - two in one day. No.1 = 6.9 (I was on Bohol), No.2 = 7.4 (Mindanao) No.3 = 6.6 (Mindanao) - they were 13 hours apart - and No.4 = 5.7 (Negros).

RiP Danny Kelly.
