Good luck to them in their 'new' home. Or rather, their re-built home in Plough Lane, which they return to today.

The way we got ripped out of the Goldstone Ground is one thing - but they had their entire club stolen, and I take great pleasure from seeing them above MK Dons in the table.

As does any right thinking football fan. Hopefully they can get in their ground soon

It opens today.

I'm guessing he means the fans. It must be particularly frustrating for them and Brentford.

And similarly for Leeds (oh well).

And good luck to our young Ryan Longman who will now be playing there - perhaps he can score the first goal back at Plough Lane!

Ah yes. Mis-read that first time round.

I bet Wimbledon fans will have the same feeling as us when we had our first game at the Amex. Such a shame the pademic has delayed this.So please they have done this.

Pedant Alert - it's not the original Plough Lane (that's a housing estate now) but the old Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium, now newly named as Plough Lane

It probably won’t happen, but I would laugh my head off if Leeds got relegated before a single fan could watch a premier league game after all that time.

Still closer than Milton Keynes

When this is all over, I'll go to the odd game. It's a 30 minute walk from here.

Giraffe · Nov 3, 2020

Fantastic for them, nice to see. Looking forward to making a trip at some point in the future when we are allowed. 2025 maybe?

What is the capacity?

9,000 apparently, with scope to make it 20,000 if necessary.

Nice bit of symmetry as their first game is against ........ Doncaster Rovers.

Hopefully Wimbledon learn from our mistake though and don't brutally murder one of the Donny players.

Bruntburger · Nov 3, 2020

Amazing news - would love to be alive to see them make the Premier. Perhaps with Vinny Jones as manager

I’ve followed their return saga for the past few years, it’s a wonderful wombling news. Best football story this year by far. Really excited for them.

It was for me too when I was living up there. Or a Number 77 bus ride if I'm feeling lazy. I hope to get there for a game one day. More or less a straight walk down to Garratt Lane for you, isn't it?

Sorry to put the alternative view, but they ousted other sports from the site with no alternative provision and didn’t care nor see the irony compared to their own hard luck story.

I’ve no time for them any more. Hypocrites.
