The club has been asked to pass on the following email in support of the Bring the Dons Home campaign, a fan group who are trying to mobilise fan and local resident support for the community stadium planning application. As we are working towards the same aim, we are delighted to do so.
Dear Dons fan,
After more than 20 years, the club are on the threshold of turning the dream of a new stadium in Wimbledon into a reality, but every single Wimbledon fan needs to do their part to ensure planning permission is granted.
As you may have already seen, the club have submitted a planning application to Merton Council and the planning consultation period is now open.
We need every single Wimbledon fan to:
• Write to the planning officer in support of the application
AND
• Help BTDH and the club persuade other local residents to write in support of the scheme.
Letters from all our fans will be taken into consideration by the planning officer, but the most important thing we can do to help at this stage is to ensure the officer receives lots of letters and emails in support from the council wards around the stadium site in Merton and Wandsworth.
Some local residents, aided and abetted by the vested interests of the pro-greyhound lobby will be co-ordinating opposition to the stadium proposal. We need to make sure the council is aware of the significant local support for the scheme through direct written submissions.
So get writing and help us persuade as many people as possible to WRITE NOW!
Submissions need to be received by mid-January but the sooner the better - do it before Christmas if you can! You can make your submission online via our website (which is helpful so we can keep track of numbers) or via post, all the details are here . The website also contains a list of the various benefits of the community stadium to local residents and Wimbledon fans, as well as an FAQ for the most commonly asked questions about the plans and the process.
If you signed up to volunteer to help the campaign then you will receive a second email suggesting further ways you can help. If you have not yet volunteered but have some time to help us, please sign up here.
Saturday’s home game against Mansfield will see the official launch of the Write Now! campaign, with help from Wimbledon resident Andy Frampton. And then we have an opportunity around all the press interest in our FA Cup tie with Liverpool to generate significant national and local interest in the stadium application. Let’s all work together to get the planning decision we need to Show Us The Way To Plough Lane,
THE BTDH team.
(Bring the Dons Home is a campaign run by a group of Wimbledon fans who want to make the community stadium a reality. We believe that the community stadium will bring significant benefits to the wider community in SW19)
I received this a couple of weeks ago. For those who think CCFC will die without SISU, AFC Wimbledon is an example to everyone of what may be possible. It also demonstrates that the relationship between owner and supporter is paramount. This email also shows the shortcomings of our owners. Would anyone ever envisage receiving an email of this nature from SISU/CCFC ?
