About Plough Lane in brief
Plough Lane is a newly built football stadium in Wimbledon, south-west London. It has been the home of AFC Wimbledon since 3 November 2020. Wimbledon F. C. played its matches at the original Plough Lane stadium, approximately 200 yards from the current site, from 1912 until 1991. The original Wimbledon club relocated 70 miles north to Milton Keynes, being rebranded as Milton Keynes Dons the following year. In 2002 a phoenix club was formed by a section of the club’s supporters.
The club purchased and cleared the site of the former Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium in anticipation of construction. Clearance of the site in preparation for the new football stadium and housing was begun on 16 March 2018. The stadium’s opening was initially planned for summer 2019, but the current target is the start of the 2020-21 season. The first match ever at the new stadium was a 2-2 draw with Doncaster Rovers in the 18th minute.
