Michael Hamilton AFC Wimbledon Academy ManagerMeet the Academy with Michael Hamilton

Following Academy Manager, Michael Hamilton’s guest appearance on last month’s Meet the Dons Trust Board session with Co-Chairs Jane Lonsdale and Xavier Wiggins, the Dons Trust Board is delighted to announce Michael’s return to host a Meet the Academy event.

Kicking off at 19:00 GMT on Monday 15 February 2021.

For anyone who missed the last session, Michael joined Jane and Xavier to talk about the Academy’s set up and MO. We received so many questions that we simply didn’t have time to cover them all, but have put them aside to be answered on the 15th.

You are invited to send further questions over in advance to contact@thedonstrust.org by noon on Friday 12 February, and Michael will attempt to answer them over the course of an hour on the 15th.

Subject to time, you will also be able to ask questions live on the night via Zoom’s Q&A function.
Hot topics are likely to include the Home Grown & Hungry ethos, the pathway to the first team and the wider Academy structure.

Michael says:

“It was great to interact with fans on Jane and Xavier’s show, and I’m looking forward to the 15th where we’ll be sharing more about the Academy and answering more of your questions.”

The session will be recorded and made available after the event, initially to Dons Trust members on the ProBoards forum.

If you have any queries about joining the event please email Hannah Kitcher on hannah.kitcher@thedonstrust.org.


By registering in advance we can ensure we are able to host the full number of guests and we can eliminate the possibility of unwanted attendees. By sending questions in advance, Michael will be able to allocate sufficient time to answer as many as possible and as thoroughly as possible.
