Iʼm raising £150,000 to support AFC Wimbledon in getting games on following flood damage to the pitch and stadium

Don't have time to donate right now?

Story

I'm raising money to help AFC Wimbledon get games on following damage to the stadium and pitch due to the extensive flooding over the course of 22-23rd September, which left the club having to call off games and destroyed the pitch.

The money raised will go towards helping the club deal with any costs associated with the floods and could range from repairs to pump hire to rental of an alternative venue - that will be decided by the Club.

We have been in touch with the Club and been assured that any help would be appreciated.

As you may know, AFC Wimbledon is a fan-owned club and the ability to play games in front of crowds is crucial to its existence.

A cup game against Premier League Newcastle on September 24 was postponed and it looks as though games could be cancelled for an extended period..

AFC Wimbledon is more than a lower league football club - it is admired for its work in the local community through the AFC Wimbledon Foundation charity, while Dons Local Action Group have distributed food for more than six million meals to those in need since 2020.

On the field, the club joined the Football League in 1977 and rose through the divisions, becoming founder members of the Premier League and going on to win the FA Cup in 1988.

The club reformed in 2002, starting again at the lowest rung of non-league football before rejoining the Football Leage just nine years later.

The club now competes in English football’s League Two.

    I’ve genuinely run out of superlatives to describe the generosity of Wimbledon fans, those in our local community and the wider football community at this point. Simply breathtaking. Shouldn’t be surprised anymore, I guess, but will never stop being impressed at how everyone has rallied around to show their support We have no idea yet when we might be able to get games and events on again, but I’ve been told your generosity will absolutely make a difference in helping the club get through this. Thank you so much.

    I’m not sure where to begin to start here. Wow, just wow. Not just Wimbledon fans but the wider football community and even rival football clubs have come together in our hour of need. It’s truly sobering and incredible and, well, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say it’s life-affirming. So much has gone into that stadium by so many people, and now so many people have rallied around to help us get it back together. So I know I said £50k was final target, but it’s all going to help, so let’s keep this going. And thank you all, so so much.

    Well this is bonkers, isn’t it. We started with an initial target of £10k, thinking that might be ambitious. But then I guess we’d forgotten how Wimbledon fans answer the call -every-single-time. So we upped it to £25k. And Sky News called us. Then the papers and radio got in touch. And fans around the UK joined in. And players started out donating each other. And suddenly we’re flying past £20k. So we’ve upped target one last time, to a round £50k. Together, maybe we really can get games back on at Plough Lane sooner rather than later…
