Plough Lane

Plough Lane is a modern football stadium in Wimbledon with a seating capacity of around 16,000 spread across multiple stands, including family areas and standing sections. The ground also features meeting rooms and private spaces for events that are used alongside regular match days.

A stadium with this name existed from 1912 to 1991 and was the former home of Wimbledon FC before it closed down. The current facility opened in 2020 and marked the return of AFC Wimbledon after the club had to play elsewhere for several decades.

The stadium serves as a community gathering point where AFC Wimbledon supporters regularly come together to watch their team play. It holds special meaning for locals because it represents the club's return to its original home after many years away.

The location is easily accessible by public transport and situated near residential areas, making getting there and finding parking relatively straightforward. Visitors should aim to arrive early depending on the event to secure the best views of the pitch and avoid long queues.

The stadium was specifically designed with room for future expansion and could grow to over 20,000 seats in the coming years. This shows that the venue was built with long-term growth in mind and can adapt as the club and its fanbase develop.
