New stadium

Saying non-league teams arent professional when its a fact they are is an idiot comment.

Biggleswade Town is now professional? SVV Veenendaal is professional?

You named 4 teams that you said are the only non-league professional teams. This is wrong.

I wouldn’t bother mate.

Any pics of what the ground will look like once complete?

This is probably the best artist's impression. If it's ever completed as originally designed then all 4 stands will wrap round to the same height as the main stand. With the flats surrounding it, hopefully the sound will be contained and make it quite noisy. Going to be a nice change from out-of-town retail park stadiums which are going up everywhere. Prepare to be shocked by the pub prices around there though!

What's the closest station, Wimbledon Park?

What's the closest station, Wimbledon Park?

That's about a mile away and is on the District Line. Haydons Road is on the Thameslink which is under half a mile and there's also Earlsfield on the main Waterloo Line, Tooting Broadway on the Northern Line and of course Wimbledon on both the District tube and Waterloo main lines (plus the tram link from Croydon). The last three are all just over a mile away. So nothing right by the ground but it is very well connected to all those stations which can be walked in 20 minutes or less.

Perfect. Will likely drink around Blackfriars and get the Thameslink from there.

My local team being mentioned in a thread about the team I support! What are the chances...?

 

[Boletus Edulis]

This is not N-Germany mate. I can do what i want

I can do what I want is the core theme of anarchy. The weakness of this approach is that someone stronger, with a bigger stick, a higher intelligence or just plain wittier can do what they want to you.

An update from our Chief Executive

With seven new first-team arrivals, and Plough Lane increasingly close to completion, I thought I’d take this opportunity to update you as we prepare for our League opener on Saturday.

First up at plough lane Doncaster Rovers on the 4th of Nov.

And here's the latest pic, with the roof going on over what will be the away end.

Leave it off, join the Bristol Rovers, Swindon and Gillingham club

I deeply resent this.

edit: this was a mistake, largely due to a £14.99 a night caravan advert being posted directly below.

I think away fans have suffered enough with the away end at Kingsmeadow over the years. You may even be able to see the game from this one.

Bloody plastics these days I swear.

Next thing you’ll be wanting clean toilets!

 

[Kenneth E End]

Looks quite an impressive stadium that.

 

[PuB]

Any newer picture before your opening game there?

Apologies for the pic in triplicate.

So good you showed it thrice?

Indeed. I couldn't watch the match as I was on the retail coalface but I'm catching up on match buildup on YouTube. So many memories and I'm welling up. We're finally home after 29 years. Oh, and I'm still in love with John Scales.

Are the ends which look unfinished going to be seated or terrace?

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Well done Wimbledon

Home end will be rail seating.The away end will be all seated.

Cheers.

What is new capacity??

Looks smart if a little small?

9,300 with the option to expand at a later date.

 

[Trapdoor]

Thats good enough for league football... Assuming we are ever going to be allowed back in.

 

[Crewelad87]

Looking forward to eventually visiting if our “new normal” ever allows it. Can’t be any worst than the last ground. Only went once and we took 500 odd, even then you could barely see anything and it was very cramped, god knows how it would feel full.

Bury were not professional when they were in the league
