AFC Wimbledon fans will have been in good spirits after last weekend's long overdue 1-0 win against Gillingham, with the result taking the Dons up to 19th place in the League One table. 

However supporters will have been shocked this week following the latest revelation regarding the club's move to their new stadium in Plough Lane.

The club released a statement via their official website last night outlining the situation that they currently face with regards to financing the new ground, with the decision that is facing the Dons Trust set to have a detrimental effect on not only the stadium's future but also the club's.

The facts in short are these, if Wimbledon do not secure the £11 million needed to finish the stadium as planned, the club could be left with a half finished stadium and at the very worst a playing budget that would barely allow them to survive in League Two let alone League One.

Supporters will understandably be split on the idea of allowing private investors to put money into the club, with the aforementioned owners of the club, the Dons Trust possessing the controlling stake and thus making all the decisions through it's fan ownership model at present, many will be opposed to allowing this to happen.

The club have put across the idea of accepting an offer of outside investment whilst allowing the Trust's members to remain in control of decisions that regard renaming or relocating the club in the future, with the main shortfalls of the deal being that the Trust will have a lower stake in the club and a smaller board with both investor and Trust representatives.

Ultimately the choice is simple for supporters, accept the investment on offer from outside parties and secure the club's long-term future, or oppose the offer and face an uncertain future at Plough Lane and beyond.

One thing that fans can of course take solace in is the fact that they themselves, as it has always been since 2002, will have the final say on what happens to the club they formed from the ashes, ahead of what is likely to be the biggest decision in the club's history, in its current guise.
