So how many DONS fans will we see tonight ?

I will not be there due to us having a meeting, and with me being on the interim board of the new supporters trust and Laura from the rugby league supporters trust who will be present also, we will be discussing future actions for the fundraising for the Dons.

See Baz's post above.

There are expected to be about 12 of us at the Supporters Trust Meeting this evening.

Same as above for me as well im afraid.See you tonight lads.

Why was a meeting set up for tonight when major fundraising event is on the same night?

We have been having regular meetings every 2 weeks for the past 10 weeks or so.When was this dinner organised?

Also it was decided to have the meeting on a Thursday night as it was the most suitable for everyone.Everybody works and has other commitments so we try and cater for everyone.Sorry if it clashes with the gig.

Kalos, the sportsmans diner was organised several weeks if not months ago, although i admit it did not get a mention on the forum until 15th July.
It`s just a shame we all want our club to survive but when things like this happen it appears that the club and supporters are not working as 1
Alex has managed to get 12 tables for tonight but only 2 will have DONS supporters on.

Like i said Richard i am sorry i cant come to the do tonight. Its not been done on purpose the timing please believe us on that.Its just unfortunate theyve dropped on the same date.Also its not as if there are thousands going tonight,theres only 10 or 12 of us.

Karlos, I know it`s not been done purpose, lets hope we can all raise some much needed funs. COYD.

Hopefully Richard everything will work as one once the supporters trust has got into fully functioning mode, but there is a lot going on behind the scenes that is being arranged, which hopefully will be broadcast on here and the club website over the next few weeks and also the new supporters trust website.
