What Wimbledon AFC means to me:- 

I’ve been a lifelong supporter of Wimbledon Football Club since the plough lane days. I have lived in Merton all my life and have undertaken many voluntary roles at Wimbledon FC over the years. 

With the New Stadium and our return to our spiritual home I believe AFC Wimbledon is on the threshold of a new and exciting era. Contributing to the continued success and..

About me

Hi, I’m Luke and for the last 2 years I have had the privilege and (mostly) pleasure of being a Dons Trust Board member. During that time, there has been some big changes. We have transitioned from Erik Samuelson retiring to Joe Palmer becoming CEO. The stadium has gone from a being a bit of land..

I know that I am an unlikely candidate for The Dons Trust: I’m an American. I live in California. I haven’t been to Plough Lane.  I haven’t met many of you, for whom I know the club is deeply important and personal.

But through a winding, haphazard journey, I’ve become a supporter of the club – and what is clear is that the story of AFC Wimbledon transcends the thousands of..

My vision for the Dons Trust

I want the club we all love to be the best.

But who am I?

I am a founder member of the Dons Trust and served on the Board in 2004.

I first started going to Plough Lane in 1982 and was a mascot with my brother against Hull City in January 1983. That was the last game we lost in our charge for the..

Home Advantage – Supercharged!

Hello everyone, I would be honoured to serve you on The Dons Trust Board.

My Wimbledon credentials

My grandad and dad first took me to Plough Lane in the mid 1970’s. So, I am a lifelong supporter, Dons Trust member since inception and live in Wimbledon, 10 minutes’ walk from Plough Lane. I grew up in Sutton attending Greenshaw High School, then Leicester University and University College..

Our club has achieved so much since 2002, thanks to the hard work of many people: board members, players, employees and volunteers. But it has largely done so because every time they have been asked, our fans have stepped u

p and gone above and beyond to ensure this extra-ordinary collective endeavour continues to defy the odds, confound the nay-sayers and prove that nothing is impossible when we all work..

Finally, we are back in Wimbledon. It’s now time for us to ensure we become part of the fabric of Wimbledon, a successful, well-run business in the heart of the community. 

This season, with fans still banned from attending games, I’ve watched a number of our games on a laptop with friends in the Alexandra pub in Wimbledon. It’s been remarkable the number of people who have toddled over to ask what game..

Bring the Dons homeIt only took 29 years

Dons Trust Board member, Graham Stacey, looks at the journey that got us back to Plough Lane and what comes next…

When Wimbledon Old Centrals took to the field for the first time 131 years and one day ago, on 2nd November 1889, they surely had no idea of the epic scale of the journey Wimbledon’s football club was embarking on.

Sometimes in life you really do have to stand back, take a breath, and take it all in. Now..

Tonight’s historic game

It is with great sadness that tonight’s historic game, our first home game in almost 30 years, must be played behind doors.

However, we are pleased to have been able to extend the opportunity to join remotely by sponsoring the match against Doncaster Rovers and offering around 300 Dons Trust members free iFollow passes.

We also hope you’ll get involved with the celebrations remotely by sending in videos and photos during the day using the hashtag #BackToPloughLane on Twitter and..

The Dons Trust AFC Wimbledon Club OwnersThank you and a vital message

We would like to state our thanks to all the fans and groups who stepped forward with offers to buy passes for fans who may have otherwise struggled to watch our historic first game back at Plough Lane.

On Friday we announced that the Dons Trust would be sponsoring the game versus Doncaster and that we would be giving away 250 iFollow passes to those who need them so that as many members as possible could share the experience on..
