Dons Trust Elections - Questionnaire 2010

(main questionnaire index)

Q Are you a member of WISA? If not, why not?

David Hall No, I am not a member. I have nothing but respect for the work that WISA did to help challenge the original club's proposals to move to Milton Keynes and the work which was done to both set up the Dons Trust and AFC Wimbledon. I was one of the original founding members of the DT and found that was sufficient to represent what at the time I felt were the important issues in the development of the new club. Consequently I never felt a need to join WISA once we had the DT but would do if I felt the DT was not sufficiently representing my interests.
   
Mark Davis No. I wasn't closely involved at the time of the turmoil surrounding Milton Keynes. Thereafter, I didn't particularly see the need to join once the Dons Trust was in the driving seat of AFC Wimbledon. I subsequently came to the conclusion there is a role for WISA even in a trust-controlled club (see Q2), but I've focussed my attention on the Trust.
   
Nicole Hammond Yes! I've been a member since 1997.
   
Kate Terriere No I'm not a member of WISA and there's no particular reason why I'm not, I've just never joined. My dad is a member though so I keep in touch with what's going on through him.
   
Kris Stewart No, I'm not a WISA member. I know why I stopped being - back when I was chairman of AFC Wimbledon, it seemed a nonsense to me to pretend at the same time to be "independent". However, I am not sure that really applies in my current situation, and maybe I should think about rejoining.
Having said that, I really don't have any more time to spend on this whole thing, so it would really be solely a paper membership, and that's not something I'm hugely comfortable with.
I'll think about it some more. Thanks for the nudge.
   
Lee Willett Yes
   
Stephen Cooles I am not a member of WISA. As a member of the Dons Trust, and Season Ticket holder I feel that (for me) membership of WISA was not a necessity.
   
Tom Adam I am not a member of WISA. I think that board membership of the Trust and membership of Wimbledon Independent Supporters Association (with the emphasis on “Independent”) are inconsistent.
   
Simon Bath No, I am lapsed, no real reason not to be one at all.
   
David Growns I don't see the relevance of the question.
   
Damian Woodward I’m not. When we formed the Dons Trust and then AFC, I felt that WISA was surely going to replicate the work of the Trust given we own our own club and should all be fighting for the same cause.
   
Christopher Gibbs No, I'm not. I believe Don's Trust membership is sufficient involvement in the club.
