Newcastle United have made a financial contribution to AFC Wimbledon, the League Two club whose stadium was damaged by flooding.
AFC Wimbledon’s Carabao Cup third round tie at League Two was originally scheduled to host Premier League side Newcastle at The Cherry Red Records Stadium on Tuesday, September 24. But has postpone to October 1 and will now be play at St James’ Park instead สมัคร ufabet
The Pluck Lane pitch or The Cherry Red Records Stadium was hit by heavy rain. That lashed London overnight Sunday into Monday morning. Leaving deep holes in the pitch and most importantly. It was submerged under high water.
Officials had to pump out more than 100,000 litres of water from the pitch. But the extent of the damage has left it uncertain. When AFC Wimbledon will be able to return to the ground. With their League Two game against Crewe Alexandra already postponed.
Wimbledon fans led by Graeme Stacey have set up a page to raise money to help the club get the stadium back in use. As soon as possible with a target of £100,000. Of which £55,000 has already raised. With Newcastle £15,000 going to them.
For many who bleed yellow and blue, the current circumstances will bring back memories of their bid to return home in Wimbledon. Fans have dug deep into their own pockets time. And time again to make the impossible possible and raised north of £10million through a bond scheme to push through their return to SW19 back in 2019.
