Esher are building a new stand as far as I know they have planning and building should start imminently. AFC Wimbledon are hoping to move back to Plough Lane which means they will want to sell Kingsmedow I doubt if K's have the money to buy the stadium back as they sold to AFC because they had financial problems.
I do not think Kingsmedow could be developed into a 5000 seat stadium let alone 10,000 there is not much land around the pitch.

I thought Plough Lane had houses built on it?

Plough Lane does have houses on it. That development is next door.

I can confirm that I have seen this with my own eyes having lived around the corner for 2 years not long ago.

Correct...but the Plough Lane Stadium they are looking to redevelop doesn't......it's the dog track at Plough Lane.

Ummm, you jumped on Perry's post, claiming he was wrong, when in fact he was completely correct.

Plough Lane Stadium closed in the 90's and now has houses on it. Fact. The Wimbledon Stadium isn't Plough Lane Stadium. It isn't particularly complicated.

HTH.

HTH!

Years of travelling to games. Never thought I'd need to bring my own seat with me, at least my fold up chair has a slot for a can. Next stop the pitches on Clapham Common? Whether the nature of the squad for next year makes me feel any different, but at this point underwhelmed if this happens and more likely to leave it to others.

Apparently the are closing the dog track and developing the area for the AFC stadium, housing and shops.

I use the word "worst" and you change it to "council" to infer some sort of snobbery on my part.
I talk about it being in west London, and you talk about it being on the east side of the tracks, to infer some sort of gegraphical ignorance, despite the two facts being completely unrelated.
It's very subtle and insidious how you twist a person's words to suit your own agenda. But you are twisting them.

No I did not, as explained above.

More sly inference, you won't find anything in my words suggesting that RL started in leafy suburbs.
