History
The ground brought AFC Wimbledon back to Plough Lane after the original Wimbledon FC left for Milton Keynes and the supporter-formed club played at Kingsmeadow from 2002. Merton Council approved the plans unanimously on 10 December 2015, site clearance began on 16 March 2018 and the build cost £34 million. The first match was a 2–2 draw with Doncaster Rovers, the first goal scored by Joe Pigott in the 18th minute. The nearest station is Haydons Road on Thameslink, 648 m away, then Wimbledon Park on the District line at 1,032 m and Tooting Broadway on the Northern line at 1,279 m; route 493 stops 67 m from the ground.
