| 16 - Should the Trust membership have the final say on the big issues, like where the club has its home ground or selling shares in the club? |
| Tom Adam |
Yes on such big issues. |
| Lou Carton-Kelly |
Yes they should. |
| Sarah Colesell |
No response received. |
| David Cox |
Yes |
| Colin Dench |
Without question. I would favour a clause in the constitution to require a members' vote on issues such as this, and strongly believe that the Trust's ownership of AFCW should not have been reduced through the Share Issue without the members being asked if they were prepared to sell what they owned. |
| Ray Downham |
Yes, no question. |
| Anne Eames |
Yes - the Trust membership must always have the final say. |
| Steve Elson |
Yes. |
| Pat Fotheringham |
Yes. |
| Andrew Goodwin |
Yes. Though in terms of the Constitution, the present Board did nothing wrong in selling shares without the formal agreement of the membership, I believe it was a mistake not to call a vote. I would like to see the Constitution amended such that it dictates that any ‘big issues' must be agreed at a full meeting of Trust members. Obviously the wording of the Constitution must define specific areas – ones that spring immediately to my mind are changes to the ownership or structure of AFC Wimbledon and changes of ground location. |
| Jacki Harvie |
Yes. |
| Ivor Heller |
Yes. |
| Nigel Higgs |
Yes it should. This should be put into the constitution. The clauses used in the AFCW plc articles of association and reproduced in the prospectus (page 36 point n) make a very good starting point. |
| Marc Jones |
Yes. But I feel this question is attempting to hint at the share issue not being voted upon and as such find it a slightly loaded question. For the record, I believe that when members voted for the purchase of Kingsmeadow it was clearly stated that shares and donations would be the most likely option to achieve that goal. I also believe there were no viable alternatives to a share issue. |
| Dennis Lowndes |
Yes. |
| Luke Mackenzie |
Of course. The membership should be consulted on any major issue and many minor issues as well. The power has to be in the arms of the membership. |
| Michael O'Shaughnessy |
Yes. |
| Chris Philips |
Yes. |
| Erik Samuelson |
The PLC is set up so that its directors cannot do anything like that without the agreement of the DT Board, so, yes, it makes sense that the members should have sign off over key issues. We should ask the members what they want these to be. |
| Ron Trayhorn |
Yes. |
