Couldn't make it myself due to time and distance from work. I would go to any further forums if they were a later start time.
Looks good though and sounds a sensible business plan with the finances,crowds budgeted for etc.

I agree about the business plan , very realistic .

Also the Dons would get a cut of the match takings for the Fev and Cas games.

Reference the percentages required to make up the £250,000 required to run the Club, I have made a slight amendment (above) ...

John Scarrow quoted 20% Season Tickets but we believe this to actually be Gate Receipts as Carl Hall later indicated that the budget is for 350 Adults and 100 Children paying at the gate - with no season ticket sales included (these would be additional revenue for the Club).

When will Season Tickets be available ?
Could be a good Christmas gift if available in time.

Application forms are available from the club. 01302 765888 or call in the office.

Thankyou.

I attended the meeting last night and have got to say i was pleased with what was said. It seems to me we have now got a group of people running the club that are being really sensible regarding the business plan they have put together. It was also clear that there is no intention to veer away from the plan even if we happen to have a bit of a windfall, i.e cup tie against one of the big Super League sides in the cup. The attendances the plan is built around are totally achiveable even in our current league. The price for admission for U'16s is £1, hopefully this will get more kids in and hence eventually more adults. We may not have a world beating side for the next few years but i honestly believe we will have a team giving 110% and probably more importantly will have a team to follow next year. I really hope everyone who is abit sceptical give the Dons another chance as i think they may well be pleasantly suprised.

Heres looking forward to a good season, COYD.

who actually runs the club will both carl and steve run day to day running?
what does rays role entale (heritage)? it mite have been mentioned before but i missed it sorry

Carl is also CEO , so he is running the club. Ray in charge of community matters & jackie does the admin.

So we are not over staffed !

From talking to Carl and Steve after the meeting, I would suggest that the day-to-day running of the Club will predominently sit with Carl (as Chief Executive) but with Steve having key input to some of the Clubs activities.




The Club has been awarded a Heritage Grant which should allow for the funding of an exercise relating to gathering and ultimately making available for public viewing items relating to the history of the Dons. I understand that Ray's role will also involve work in the community - which ought to sit comfortably with the heritage exercise.

thanks for that info

No Dave left b4 the end of the season . He got another job with British Gymnastics I think.
