BOOST OUR LOCAL ECONOMY

Research estimates that a new community stadium will provide a total annual financial injection to the area of £12.7 million. The club’s long term vision for the stadium is closely aligned with the council’s economic development strategy for Merton.

REVITALISE A NEGLECTED AREA

The plans will develop a large currently rundown site on Plough Lane and act as a catalyst to improve the whole area. The plans include not only a stadium but also 600 residential units, car parking, retail and commercial space, a leisure club and other facilities.

COACH AND EDUCATE CHILDREN

A new stadium will enable AFC Wimbledon to extend its sports participation projects. 14 dedicated youth coaching personnel currently provide 900 contact hours a season in After School Clubs, Saturday Football Club and Holiday Football Courses.

EXTEND AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY SCHEMES

AFC Wimbledon has prioritised community work since it was founded. It was given a Big Society Award by the Prime Minister in 2012 in recognition of this. A new base in the borough will allow the club to expand the scope of these schemes still further.
