AFC Wimbledon Closes Successful Donation Campaign

AFC Wimbledon, a fourth-division football club, has requested the cessation of its £100,000 donation campaign aimed at repairing a sinkhole that forced the postponement of a match against Newcastle United. The initiative, launched by fans from around the globe, exceeded its target by tenfold, reflecting the strong support for the club.

Founded in 2002 by dedicated supporters as a successor to FC Wimbledon, the club operates under a fan-owned model where every member has voting rights. The funds raised are expected to cover repair costs and the deductible associated with the damage.

While investigations and remediation plans are ongoing, the club expressed gratitude to all donors, including notable contributions from Newcastle United and fan Graham Stacey, who spearheaded the campaign. Despite the uncertain situation, AFC Wimbledon assures fans that they will be kept informed should circumstances worsen.

This remarkable response from the community underscores the enduring spirit and unity among supporters, affirming the bond between the club and its fans.
