Vote twice to have your say on majority fan ownership, how we manage future funding, and investment in our Club.
The Dons Trust is asking all members to vote on whether we can allow more investment from outside owners while keeping the club majority-owned by us the fans.
The beauty of our democracy and the success we have built together means we get to make this vital strategic decision at a time of our choice. However, we do need to make it to allow everyone to be able to plan our future realistically.
This means changing the Trust rules to allow a new minimum level of fan ownership of 50.01% – our majority rule. The Dons Trust rules currently mean we must have a minimum level of 75% of the voting rights in the Club. We are proposing this change to maintain, uphold, and support majority fan ownership while allowing further investment from minority shareholders.
You can find all the information you need, how to ask questions, attend events, and cast your votes here.
We will be updating the FAQs as questions come in and we hope to see as many of you as possible at meetings, matches and online events to discuss and answer any queries as we all make this important decision on our future.
