Plough Lane sporting usageHere is an updated version of an email sent to members on Saturday. Early indications from the temperature test suggest members are broadly positive about discussions continuing with London Broncos – but there have been many questions and concerns, too. We can confirm that more detail will be shared shortly, and the potential deal will be discussed at the AGM on December 17. Crucially, we can also confirm that there will be a formal vote should the deal progress and..
Everyone is welcome at WimbledonThe Dons Trust would like to once again iterate that everyone is welcome at Wimbledon games, and that the Club operates a zero tolerance approach to abuse – whether aimed at staff, players or fans.
With our move back to Plough Lane, ensuring that all members of our diverse community feel safe and welcome at our club is of paramount importance – particularly as we look to expand our fanbase.
In the same way that we hold our players to..
AGM papers: possible postal delaysWe have received reports that AGM papers for those that receive them by post are in some cases being delayed and caught up in the backlog of Christmas mail.
The papers for the meeting can be found on the general meetings page (thedonstrust.org/general-meetings) of this website and are available to download.
If you wish to exercise a proxy, we strongly suggest that this is emailed to the Dons Trust secretary – secretary@thedonstrust.org – rather than relying on the postal service at this..
Thank you to our young volunteersSince our reformation in 2002, volunteers have been central to the achievements of The Dons Trust and AFC Wimbledon.

Supporter vs community-owned clubsTim Hillyer discusses the ongoing debate at The Football Supporters’ Association about the distinction between ‘supporter-owned’ clubs and ‘community-owned’ clubs.
Recent developments at Wrexham and Cork City have thrown supporter ownership of football clubs into question. Is this the latest in a pattern of trust-owned clubs selling out to private ownership, following Portsmouth and others? Is there a limit to the progress of fan-owned clubs?
News that 98.6% of Wrexham trust members had voted to sell their club to a..
DTB elections – missing ballot papersWith around one week to go to the ballot deadline of midnight on Saturday 5 December 2020, for this year’s Dons Trust Board elections, we have sent out a further reminder to Dons Trust members to those of you who have yet to vote.

Do please check your spam and junk folders as sometimes..
